settings with new Transport AES ian canada

[Alexus]

Hi,

i had the protoDac, now changed to a ian Canada Transport Pi Aes, with FifoQ7, and external DAC. How are the settings in Moode for this combination? Has anybody Info?

Thanks

Alex

Try Hifiberry Digi+ Pro or Allo DigiOne for Named I2S device. I think one of these drivers is what that board requires.

If someone compiles a list of IanCanada DAC and Transport boards and their required I2S driver I'll add them into the Audio Device list for the next release. I looked in his Git repo and could not find such a list.

Thanks, I will try, now it works with the old ProtoDac settings.

neither of the two are working, I will try others, until now only ProtoDAC is working.

I found this document

It indicates that no Linux driver is required for the AES board. Thats confusing to me because without a Linux kernel driver I don't see how the board can be known to Linux/ALSA/moOde. In other words the board needs to appear in the ALSA list of playback devices otherwise a software player like moOde can't send audio to it.

Code:

# ALSA list of playback devices

aplay -l

You might want to send Ian an Email and ask him about the Linux configuration required for the board.

I found in the manual of the FifoQ7 this and GenericI2S is working:"Choose the “Audiophonics I-Sabre ES9028Q2M” or the “Generic I2S DAC” are recommended. The first one is capable of up to 384KHz. (FifoPi Q7 itself doesn’t need a Linux driver. But you have to choose a driver for you play software to output digital music signals over GPIO.)"

I'm using the AES and the HDMI pro boards, attached is a screenshot showing which driver to use.
For DSD playback, moode MPD setting needs to be DoP. The fifo Q7 needs to be set to pass through

That Audiophonics selection corresponds to the I-sabre-q2m overlay/driver.

Each board is on a separate Pi, correct?
Are u also using a MonitorPi controller?

It does correspond to the I-saber-q2m overlay.

I have the AES and HDMI pro on a single Pi5, both linked to the Q7 MCLK.

I have a Monitor Pi on that setup.

I have a Monitor Pi Pro, but that is on the Ian Canada DAC.

Ok thats clearer.

I could add the of following to the Named I2S list which should cover the IanCanada board combos.

Code:

IanCanada (i2s-dac)
IanCanada (hifiberry-digi-pro)
IanCanada (hifiberry-dacplus)
IanCanada (i-sabre-q2m)
