DoP using JDS Labs EL DAC II
#1
Hi everyone,

running Moode Audio 7.2.1 on RPi 4B 2GB.  I am trying to play some DSD128 files, but I am just getting noise or popping sounds.

1.  I already go to MPD config and change the DSD support to DSD over PCM.  

2.  I also try a fresh copy of moode audio 7.2.1.  

Any suggestion will be welcome.  

Thanks,

E

Not sure about your hardware....
from the JDLabs site...
https://jdslabs.com/product/el-dac-ii/

[*]Audio Formats (USB) 16/44.1kHz thru 32/384kHz PCM 1.
[*]Audio Formats (S/PDIF) 16/44.1kHz thru 24/192kHz 2.

No mention of DSD.






Quote:1.  I already go to MPD config and change the DSD support to DSD over PCM




[*]

and saved ? rebooted ?
What about other options there?

If DAC specifications don't explicitly state that DoP protocol is supported then leave MPD set to "Native DSD (Default)" and then read the ( i ) help next to the option.

Reprinted here for convenience.

Native DSD: If the audio device reports that it supports Native DSD then MPD will send the unaltered DSD bitstream to the device otherwose MPD will perform DSD to PCM on-the-fly conversion.

DSD over PCM (DoP): There is no way to detect if an audio device supports DoP so only enable this if you are certain that the device support it otherwise the encapsulated DSD bitstream may cause loud or unpredictable distortion.

No mention of DSD.

and saved ? rebooted ?
What about other options there?

Here is the link that shows EL DAC II or Element II support DoP .  I already verified the firmware release as well.


Under MPD config -> DSD Support changed from Native DSD (Default) to DSD over PCI (DoP), the rest of the MPD config is default.    Saved, rebooted countless time already.

It's not obvious to me why that DAC is not able to process DoP if in fact it supports it. I have 3 DAC's that work perfectly with DoP.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the confirmation.  I connected the DAC to Win10 and it is able to decode DSD file just fine.  Do you have any suggestion what to check or configuration change on moOde audio configuration side?

Thank you,

You could try editing /etc/alsa/conf.d/_deviceout.conf

Code:
Change "hw:2,0" to "plughw:2,0"


Then restart MPD via the command below.

Code:
sudo systemctl restart mpd

You might want to try this free DAC/DSD test to get a third party verification of your DAC's capabilities:

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don't have a Mac.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the quick respond.  the slave.pcm variable in _deviceout.conf is already set as plughw:2,0 .

Code:
pi@moode:/etc/alsa/conf.d$ cat _deviceout.conf
pcm._deviceout {
type copy
slave.pcm "plughw:2,0"
}
pi@moode:/etc/alsa/conf.d$
