Native DSD

[cpcat]

Hi AK, thanks for the reply.

When I download the vmlinuz file -amd64 version, the one I linked above, then drag and drop the the system file page window nothing happens.  It acts like it needs another file extension..   I have downloaded firmware, and also even used it to drag /drop the latest version of squeezelite 1.9.8 I think it is.  It does work (the drag/drop window) but just not with that particular vmlinuz DSD file.  I also tried adding under player "options" in SO machine "-D [:ub32e]"' according to the squeezelite command line -? instructions but does not work either.  I tried it with R2, 1.8, and Ralph, none would work.  It would save the setting and go green, but the data says STD 32_LE not DSD 32_BE.  (I'm not sure if those designations are exactly correct, I am reporting from memory, but you know what I mean ). 

I was briefly successful in even getting squeezelite 1.9.8 to play music through the SO machine by playing with the command line and trying to enable "squeezelite -o hw: <etc>” but it kept returning "connection busy" or something to that effect.

My volume is always set to "fixed level at 100" and I double check the settings under "advanced media server settings" and "player" and "audio" pretty much constantly because i am that ocd with this stuff.  Additionally, in Daphile/LMS when the digital VC in squeezelite is disabled , the VC no longer shows on the player page so that is also a second reminder.  

Thanks again.
