I have installed latest Volumio on the Tinkerboard. Why?? Because i only need a device with proper USB Out. Everything does what it does its fast and everything sounds well. My DAC is a Cayin N3 DAP which is capable to decode DSD. I have set Volumio on DSD direct but I get white noise. I can hear the music in the background. Looked on the forum and several mentioned the volume needs to be at 100%. Tried that but with no effect. What could I try more? ---

With S/pdif mounted i have enormous dropouts… I couldn’t find how to ssh the Tinker board. ---

I can hear the music in the background… Ditto with my Schiit Modi 2 Uber, but only with web radio/streams, and only some of them. The Audiophile Jazz for example, under the Volumio web radio section, does this. ---

OK, so this is working for me on my Schiit Modi 2 Uber. Under “Playback Settings”, enable “Audio Resampling”, and what I did was change “Target Bit Depth” to 32. I noticed that changing either that setting or “Target Sample Rate” to anything other than Native, the white noise went away. ---

Which not is a big deal if it works or not. My main DAC now is the SMSL M8a which works fine on USB. Although the Coax Spdif is a bit of a problem. Drop outs in Sound. ---

Just now realized we are in my thread as well 🙂 I put up my /etc/mpd.conf in that thread.
