Is it my imagination or is there a slight sonic penalty from having “enable seek” checked. Without this, you can’t skip ahead to a point earlier or later in the currently playing track.

I don't know. I can have a play later but in any case, I show the options I have ticked on mine which is different to yours.

Maybe that could also give us 32FS for one of those R2R DACs such as Denafrips?

Add absurd sample rates for DSD1024 support.

However, the existing source code already got the numbers required for 16FS as shown below

https://github.com/marcoc1712/squeezelite-R2/blob/Release/pcm.c#L54

static u32_t sample_rates[] = {
        11025, 22050, 32000, 44100, 48000, 8000, 12000, 16000, 24000, 96000, 88200, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000, 705600, 768000
};

https://github.com/marcoc1712/squeezelite-R2/blob/Release/squeezelite.h#L531

#define MAX_SUPPORTED_SAMPLERATES 18
#define TEST_RATES = { 768000, 705600, 384000, 352800, 192000, 176400, 96000, 88200, 48000, 44100, 32000, 24000, 22500, 16000, 12000, 11025, 8000, 0 }

Nuno did get 16FS working temporarily but unfortunately that didn't last very long

Well the Innuos 2.0.4 app can play up to PGGB 768 kHz files but the 2.0.5 update will temporarily lose this feature (see the explanation from Innuos below). Innuos need to do some work before reintroducing the ability to play up to 768 kHz files and they are prioritising the requests for features and debugging depending on how many people contact them about each bug or feature.

DSD1024 should be fine with Ralph Irving's version of Squeezelite, though not sure about PCM @ 16FS and 32FS yet.

BTW, support for WavPack should be added to LMS a very long time ago and I guess that's still working with the latest version 8.3.0?

That was my post on AS that you quoted. The last time I talked to him, a while ago now, they were still looking to reintoduce it, perhaps as a user selectable option from within the Innuos app. However my interest in that has waned since the K50 became my streamer of choice.

FYI - if Mark were actually interested in supporting DSD1024 as well as PCM @ 32FS down the road, maybe it's just a matter of modifying quite a few files as shown below

Ralph Irving already got that handled for his own version of Squeezelite, presumably we don't really need to touch LMS then?

Thanks for sharing your settings. I have only changed those related to WAV as I was focused only on PGGB. At present, I have LMS only scanning the folder in which my PGGB files are stored.

Next step is to figure out the ideal Roon configuration for playing everything else.

Interesting - I will have to give that a try.

I will try to remember to create a multipage pdf with all my settings so we can compare between us.

On Roon, I want to try it again now we have a new version but I suspect I will just stick to the Squeeze / Squeezelite for non PGGB files and also Qobuz, Radio Paradise etc.

Hi Kenny, just returning to your shared screen shot, why would one want to have Resample or Additional Effects ticked? All we want the transcoder to do is to correctly recognise the PGGB 16FS frequency and pass through/play the file correctly

Being able to play the tracks seemed to require that Additional Effects be checked. And we would want Resampled unchecked for PGGB'd tracks.

Nightly Cache Delete

Is my understanding correct that part of the [overnight] auto updates for 3.1 include clearing the server cache ?
If so, has anyone confirmed whether this is an up and running feature?
Yesterday I cleared what I recall was 732M and today I show 697M.
I noticed the buffer utilization went from 532M to 697M in a matter of minutes but it seems to hover around 530M.
The sound does appear to freshen up a bit when I manually clear the [Roon Server] cache.

Ferrum Hypsos vs S60

I may be taking delivery of a Ferrum Hypsos programmable "hybrid" power supply by this weekend.
I'll be comparing it to the outstanding Antipodes S60 at the S60s native 12V fixed output voltage into a load of the Uptone EtherRegen timed from 10Mhz reference.

Assuming the Hypsos won't disappoint, I'm looking to bypass the LPS integral to my SingXer SU-2 USB to i2S [as I utilize it] timed from 10Mhz reference.
I'll post my findings hopefully early next week.

Ditch Roon altogether and get an even better sound!

Not for me. Seems to work and play tracks fine with Additional Effects unchecked.

The thing I am struggling with is being able to browse with Folders in Material. I have enabled that option and can do it with iPeng but not with Material.

I have an itch to try MPD but procrastinate due to being a little intimidated about setting it up. I'll get to it eventually.
I tried Squeeze/SqueezeLite and felt it was rolled off compared to Roon and that it only served to mask the issues I hear with Roon.
Roon/SqueezeLite was less rolled off but I missed the shimmer of cymbals so for the moment, I am back to Roon Server/Roon Player

Playing 768 without 3CPO.

My little EX running roon core, hqplayer ( no upsampling) and playing 768 file. I still can’t decide on my server upgrade. I would most likely go K40 if it hd not been taken out of production. Mark says a new version is coming soon.
