Okay, so we’ll see when I get it…
As for the USB output, will it still be good for 1024?
Should be… If they have not somehow interfered with the USB port of CM4…
FYI:
I just installed the C19 Ustars, and with Ropieee/Naa, it outputs the DSD1024 to USB Holo Spring 3.
I’ll test the other outputs (AES, I2S) later, but they are correctly defined via a HAT in Ropieee.
So the SDM1024, AHM7EC8B, and DAC correction are working correctly.

I’m planning to upgrade to Debian Trixie soon.
Will the NAA Bookworm version be installed without any problems?
I have not tested, but it doesn’t have any complex dependencies, so it is likely that it would work.
I’m considering waiting for Raspberry Pi OS to move to trixie…

I get an issue on Trixie, with networkaudiod, unmet dependencies.
Unsatisfied dependencies:
networkaudiod : Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.16) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:
- networkaudiod:armhf=5.1.5-67 is selected for install
- networkaudiod:armhf Depends libasound2 (>= 1.0.16)
but none of the choices are installable:
[no choices]
Not to worry, I will look into it. I don’t want to take up your time. Just mentioning it.
I’m playing around on the Audalytic AH90, system is updated to Trixie. I did not update the kernel, using 6.3 supplied by Gustard.
Trixie is using:
libasound2t64
OK, they have renamed the library. But “t64” sounds like indicating towards 64-bit platform while armhf is 32-bit. So a bit confusing…
Got it working, changed the dependency to libasound2t64 using dpkg-deb.
I simply edited the control file to reflect the new libasound info.
Version: 5.1.5-67 Architecture: armhf
Maintainer: Jussi Laako
Pre-Depends: debconf Depends: libasound2t64 (>= 1.2.14) , etc, etc
NAA is working fine with Debian Trixie 13.1 running on the Audalyic AH90.

Nice one. I’ll get around to this update later.
How are you finding the AH90?
It is high objective performance for reasonable money.
The AH90 is very good. I have full control of its streaming OS so that part should stay up to date for quite awhile. (* For others reading this, earlier in this thread I describe how to take over its streaming OS).
I use it strictly as an NAA endpoint in a headphone setup. HQPe → AH90 built in NAA → Topping A50iii headphone amp.
The next part regarding its streaming OS, maybe this winter I’ll look into updating the kernel (no hurry on that, its at 6.3 and seems fine).
The other is Spotify hires, just for interest sake, although I probably won’t use it.

Very close to my headphone setup in my home office, I use L50 headphone amp.
I adjusted the volume knob to lowest channel imbalance I could measure (around 1o’clock) and then use HQPlayer digital volume control all the time.
I setup a bluetooth keypad to adjust HQPlayer volume.
Which headphones do you use?
I’m using Sennheiser HD660S2 with Oratory corrections applied via HQPe. I’m quite pleased with the overall setup.
I’m over 65, my ears can’t easily tell the difference between filters, etc. BUT, I can say that without HQP, I can’t listen to headphones for very long, with HQP filters, I can listen for hours.
Kudos to Jussi.

The analog reconstruction filter could be better though. Now there is very little…
What is the downside of its (AH90) Analog reconstruction, Hi freq noise?
Yes thats why I always state for the money.
I never say it is absolutely the best out there (ie at any price).
But certainly below 100kHz it is right up there.
Ultra high frequency noise. Above 100kHz
It is not correlated to the music signal though.
If you turn your amp up and don’t hear any hiss, there is no ultra high frequency noise to worry about.

No hiss at max volume, just checked.

With Odroid C4 running 9.17.2, NAA version:
https://signalyst.com/bins/naa/linux/bookworm/networkaudiod_5.0.1-60_arm64.deb works…
But updating to networkaudiod_5.1.5-67_amd64.deb or even
networkaudiod_5.1.3-66_arm64.deb don’t work at all - no music playback.
SO i rolled back to 5.0.1-60_arm64.deb
Never had any issue with DietPi and NAA. INterestingly DietPi never updated from 5.01-60 to later versions… I just tried it today manually
Is this deliberate by DietPi? A known issue with later NAA versions?
While it is a DEB package, it is not distributed via APT repository. So apt upgrade indeed does not update it. You need to reinstall it, which downloads and installs the latest version: Media Systems Software Options - DietPi.com Docs
This is all they offer, not open source to make that clear: Index of /bins/naa
Actually, I could ask them whether we are allowed to redistribute those packages with our own APT repository.
Does the server throw any errors?
journalctl -u networkaudiod
No known issues, I’m of course always running the latest version. On latest OS updates. If the base OS is up to date Debian 12 “bookworm” it should work. If the base OS is something else, YMMV.
Regarding the package in question, my test environment is on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS Lite, which is Debian 12 “bookworm”.
Please note that the former is for x86-64 architecture and latter one is for ARM64. So these two won’t work on the same hardware…
