Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.4 (Blind Testing Update 4)

[agent_kith]

This is awesome! Bubbleupnp can now see MPD/upmpdcli on the pi and now I'm having fun switching between all of the different options! 

Thank you for this great update! 

I'll definately be toying around with this for a while, but I did find something kind of strange in BubbleUPNP. When I use it to stream tidal to squeezelite Bubbleupnp correctly reports that flac format is being streamed. When I stream to MPD/upmpdcli it says 320kbps. I did check the renderer settings but there is none available when connected to MPD/upmpdcli. Strange, but it still sounds pretty good. 

I will investigate this and see if I can find anything in why flac wont stream to MPD/upmpdcli. If anyone else has noticed this or knows a workaround I'm all ears. 

in the meantime, I'm loving this software! Thanks again for all of your hard work!

320 kbps could be the compressed bit rate. That could mean FLAC, it could also mean MP3. MP3 at 320 kBps is not really discernable for some people but there is a bit of quality loss with trained ears.

Hopefully your DAC will tell you what it is? e.g. with my DAC I know it's MP3 if the bitrate is 44100, but at 24 or 32 bits (Cannot remember which at this stage). But if playing redbook it will be 44100 at 16 bits.
