MPD : add a delay to wait before starting the playback

[thomas2j]

I removed the "-C 1" parameter in Squeezelite and now the DAC stays active and it is better

This could avoid the audio stream to be closed at the end of a playlist, it should improve nothing diring normal, queued playback.
I would have left it there, but changed to, say, 30 seconds instead of 1.

Anyway, I haven't understood whether the issue is solved or not; as the only thing you mention was the time-out of squeezelite (and you didn't, eventually, mention that the problem was with squeezelite in the first post...)

I didn't have these problems with my previous DAC (SMSL Sankrit 10th mkii), i don't understand why SMSL doesn't take care of that

It depends WHEN the problem arises. For what you say, now everything is fine; maybe the requirements are "never close the stream if you are planning to continue using the DAC"...
Being the DL200 a hi-performing device, I doubt it would have such an unpleasant behavior just for careless design...

there is really a problem with this SMSL DL200 when playing tracks with different sample rates (on linux with nuc or raspberry, usb or optical)

this is really annoying

i didn't find a solution
