In ympd it shows vol at min but any attempt to change and it shows "problem setting volume". Always been like that. I assume it confirms fixed max vol setting.(27-Feb-2018, 07:22 PM)JD1 Wrote: Ooh that nearly worked. My DAC interface displays 4xDSD when I add a 4xDSD to the queue but then changes to PCM when I play. I suspect my DAC does not broadcast its ability to play native 4xDSD but can do so if forced.Volume set to 100%?
From my testing so far, selecting PCM and not putting in any DSD options always leads to all DSD being converted to PCM. [and same with old FW] Selecting DoP gives me DSD of some sort unless I play a 4xDSD track in which case it is converted to PCM at my DACs max sample rate of 384k.
Adding in the DSD option dsd_native_type "3" gives me the same readings as DoP alone according to my DAC and ssh command but I can't rule out it actually changing to native DSD; just that it will still convert 4xDSD to PCM.
