Native DSD

[cpcat]

So it isn’t mpd itself - using myMPD it works fine - actually sounds a lot better than Daphile/LMS/ squeezeR2 which has a higher background hiss- like tape hiss.  At first I assumed this was inherent to the recording, but it isn’t there with myMPD.  I attached a pic of the player info from SO machine and myMPD - seems right I guess- the file is DSD256.

As an aside - If you uninstall myMPD on the SO machine for any reason, you may have a difficult time reinstalling…I did.  Using 1.2.10 FW and Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS on an Intel atom minipc.
I ended up having to drag/drop another myMPD .deb file installation into SO- searched  “myMPD Ubuntu jammy” and found a download, myMPD 9.1.2 and amd64 version for my case.  It worked fine though.   amd64 build of mympd 9.1.2-1ppa2~jammy : myMPD : Minho Park (launchpad.net)

Still working on the upmpdcli issue for DSF, if anyone has any advice would be interested.
