What image (distro) are you running on the Pi? You should have no issue playing DSD64 with Roon and the Hifiberry. I have an Allo DigiOne (SPDIF) and use Ropieee without issue–that’s worth a try since it supports Hifiberry hardware.
Also, please explain what happens when you attempt to play DSD. Is there a message or simply no sound? Please share an screenshot of the Signal Path when
Hi I’m a noob so I just downloaded the roon client offered by hifiberry in its website and flash a micro sd card with it, I’m not using any other software.
When I play a dsd file roon just converts it to a pcm file on the fly. My dac can handle dsd dop and I would prefer to listen to the original file no changes made by roon.
I recommend that you go to https://www.ropieee.org/ and download this image. You’ll be up and running in 5 minutes. Also, can you confirm that you have setup the zone correctly and enabled DoP in the DSD Strategy setting. You’ll find this under Device Setup. (You may have Convert to PCM enabled)
Because you are using SPDIF, Roon will not see the DAC. Therefore, you may need to manually configure the endpoint to suit the DAC’s specification.
There is no option to configure dsd files in the device setup
I guess the roon image just doesn’t have this feature. I will try with riopee or picoreplayer. I simply thought I was missing something.
You may well be. If you go into device setup where you enable and name your Roon endpoint you will see the playback strategy option. Choose DOP there and it should work.
That looks like the Roon Ready options I see when there is config to be done on the device itself. I don’t know how to do that on a Digi +. On my microRendu there is a web admin page. On my streamer there is an app.
Glad to hear that Picoreplayer is working as expected with DSD output! Since it appears that the issue is resolved, I will go ahead and close this thread, but if you have any further issues please do feel free to reach out to us again!
