mpd not outputting native DSD to Fiio DAC

[Tim Curtis]

To determine what MPD/ALSA thinks the USB audio device supports run the command below while a dsf file is playing and MPD DSD over PCM setting is set to No and resampling is Disabled.

Code:

cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params

If native DSD capability was detected then the value of the format: field should be DSD_U16_BE or DSD_U32_BE.

You could also try the command below. Run it after playback is stopped.

Code:

alsa-capabilities
