RP4, 3.114, Okto Research DAC8 Stereo via USB1 (with external RP4)
The DAC does not play DSD native, it converts to 24/352.8 PCM. Volumio shows DSD64 otuput.
DoP64 plays, the DAC plays, but there are crackles
DoP128, plays the DAC plays, but there are crackles
DoP256 is converted to 24/352.8kHz
I am also sending this to Okto Support
DSD 64 direct plays fine no problems other than you need volumio volume at 100% otherwise you get static. (but that is normal right) The Dac reports correctly saying DSD 2.82
DoP doesnt work at all, very quiet static with very feint music, Dac reports PCM 176 ok. if you turn the volume to 100% the everything works, but the DAC then reports it back to DSD
DoP set in options , rebooted, then played, slowly upping vol to 100% (at about 1 min) dropped vol a couple of times after, dac switching between pcm(no sound) and dsd( playing ok)
The new release seems to have problems supporting mConnect. While mConnect connects to Volumionpi4, it often has problems playing anything and provides an error message that says. “Device sent an error Response.”
Hey guys , officially paying for volumio for a year and love it so far, just what I needed. Gapless at last
Wonder if there is a pulldown for Android app so it stays on top or easy to access again like other players? Probably n the settings but couldn’t find much.
That ._XXXX stuff is the result of MacOS creating its own meta information on the rpi filesystem. Normally this detail goes into dedicated placeholders on native Apple filesystems but when mounting files on a remote server, it uses hidden files to store this metadata.
You can’t avoid this. MacOS will continue to create these files every time you have it copy files onto the rpi.
If you can ssh into the same system, it would be possible to locate/purge these files with a find command:
# replace /path/to/where/music/is/stored with the actual path
# for your music location on the SD
# locate these files using the appropriate path on your SD
find /path/to/where/music/is/stored -name '._*' -print
# locate and delete these files
# Only do this if you are certain that files you found were the files you
# wish to purge
find /path/to/where/music/is/stored -name '._*' -print -exec rm \{} \;

I just wanted to say I just tried the 3.129 version on a 3B with a HIFI Berry DAC+ pro. So far so good! One thing I can report for sure is that Tidal Connect now works with my DAC in hardware mode!!! On Volumio 2 I always had to put it in software mode. My other big problem with 2 was stability… it was frequently crashing… I will keep an eye on this with Volumio 3. My only wish for 3 is that there is an Equalizer in the settings somewhere (I haven’t found one yet). My bass is a tad weak and like to turn it up. I used a plugin for this with 2, so hopefully 3 will have something soon!
Hello, I thank you for your hard work on this software. I use Qobuz mainly and would like to know if Genre will be added to the search function? Thanks for your response.
