Hifi Berry DAC+

[Listener]

It works ok on my end.

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dacplus], device 0: HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0 [HiFiBerry DAC+ HiFi pcm512x-hifi-0]
 Subdevices: 1/1
 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

My output is exactly the same as yours, so my only guess is a failed device, which is really odd because this would be the second such device that has failed on me. Oh well, at least I know what I need to do.

Best to all,

PS Thanks for MoOde!

If your output is same it means that Linux/ALSA has recognized and configured the device. I would start swapping in different components to see if the issue can be isolated. I'd start first with the Pi itself. Also connect the DAC outputs to a different Amp if possible and if no success maybe try a fresh image on a different uSD card.

No time, I am off to the European Triode Festival in the Netherlands to show off my little rpi / tube integrated streamer. I hooked up a tiny usb dac and all is fine, just not quite as elegant as I had hoped. rpi4>moOde>usb dac>6N1P>EL84. The amp is single ended using the ultra linear hookup scheme. I left the hat on, so I'll try getting the i2s dac to work once I get there. (I already tried all the obvious stuff before I posted.) By the by, it all sounds pretty fine.

Best to all,
