I mean I am not able to get the same performances running the pure-MPD setup, maybe because of me or because of the pCP architecture, so I am going to asks some question.ġ) since I am going to use the built in WiFi and an USB-DAC, should I use the standard pCP or the Audio Optimezed version?Ģ) Why I am getting better performances (less pops and cracks) using the 3.11 release versus the latest 3.20 ?ģ) Why I am getting more pops and crackes with the touch LCD interface than without?ģ) Why no audio at all playing files with resolution higher than 192 even if the DAC supports is (and with MPD I am able to play) ? The file of course il played by MPDĥ) Is there the (maybe undocumented) possibility to play from memory? I mean to buffer the 100% of the file before playing it (for example JRiver offers this feature) Unfortunately, after playing for some weeks, I am not able to find the "perfect" setup.
PCP is very interesting, very "light" and. Then I started to look aroud for something different and I found piCorePlayer and. A lot of pops and glitches on high resolution FLAC. The CPU usage of the rpi3 gets higher due to Crmoium web browser used by Volumio to control the GUI. Volumio was almost as perfect as my previuos pure-MPD setup, but whenever I use the LCD\touch. So I switched to Volumio, since it is based on MPD but can offer a built in support for the official rpi3 LCD and touch. I was looking for an improvement: avoid using the smartphone with app such as MPDroid to control the device. All is perfect even pulling data from the NAS using the built in WiFi.
WAVESHARE DRIVERS RPI JIVELITE UPGRADE
With some tweaks and a recent upgrade to pi3, I am playing even high resolution FLAC (up to 384 kHz and 24 bit) without any audible pops. I am running a Raspberry + MPD since years the flac files are stored on a NAS and the audio system isĬonnected to the raspberry by a USB-DAC M2Tech. It is my very first time here in this forum and I am quite new in playing with piCorePlayer.
