The DAC+ Pro is PCM only, up to 192Khz/24Bit. There’s obviously some misreporting going on, but I’m sure the Hifiberry team will sort this out quickly. In the mean time, you may want to set your DSD Playback Strategy to ‘Convert to PCM’ in Settings as well.
Thinking about it – why are these distributions so obese? (IQAudio’s is 1,93GB, while HifiBerry’s is 1,56GB). I think these certified distro’s could do far better:
- Use a nice and sleek, custom built minimal distro (<50MB should be possible, and then some – maybe @danny can help here);
- Make it all run from RAM (look at what PiCorePlayer is doing here), minimising the chances of card corruption at improper shutdown;
- Offer a simple webpage for basic configuration options:
** Networking/Wifi
** OS updates
** HAT selection (if needed)
These would really be of service for anyone not able or caring to configure their Pi with Roon Bridge themselves, and be truly bullet-proof. Sideloading wpa_supplicant.conf in /boot with no way of troubleshooting when your Pi does not perform as expected kind of defeats the purpose of a ready-to-run image.
