DSD streaming via Raspberry

Hi Suwarna if you want a Pi to feed a DAC with DSD then yes it can.

I do this with my iFi Zen DAC and Fiio K5 Pro.
As long as your Core CPU is up to the task then no problem as long as you’re DAC will process the incoming stream.

thanks !! appreciate. any minimum requirement for pi4 ? is 2gb enough or should go for 4gb ?

suwarna

I have both versions and there is no recognizable difference in handling DSD via USB

thanks Klaus, is there anyway to increase the performance ie will better power supply affect ?

suwarna

I do not have an experience there. I run the original, recommended power supply for both Raspberries and things work as advertised. Out of curiosity, I connected one Ropieee to a large power bank and ran it for a while. There was no discoverable difference to me. Easy to do and probably as good as the best power supply…

great, going to get one then. for microsd card, how many gb recommended ?

suwarna

16 GB is way more than enough and readily available.

great, i plan to use argon one case, however do not know if roopie will allow me to run the script for argon one (for fan controller) ? anybody have experience ?

It’s dependent on processor in Roon Core, not endpoint.

Based on my experience 2GB has been fine
