Longtime Squeezebox user, first time poster....
I have finally gotten around to ripping all my SACD's to .dst files. In doing so, I got rid of my 2 Squeezebox Receivers and switch to piCorePlayers.
I have had no issues getting them to play as PCM. Will work on getting them to work as native DSD in time. I have found that they will play at 384 kHz if I am just using 1 player. However when I synch players, the files are playing at 88.4 kHz. Any thoughts on why this is?
My setup is as follows...
Server:
Windows 10 running LMS 8.2 and DSD Player Plugin
Everything is ripped as either .dst files for SACD and .flac for CDs and Blurays. All files are stored on a NAS.
Player 1:
Transporter - Connected via Coax to Krell Digital Vanguard integrated amp. Using Krell Vanguard Digital DAC
Player 2:
Raspberry Pi4 8GB running piCorePlayer 8.0 connected via USB to Cambridge Audio Dacmagic 200m connected to NAD C 325BEE via RCA
Player 3:
Raspberry Pi4 8GB running piCorePlayer 8.0 connected via USB to Oppo 105 and then HDMI to Denon AVP-A1HDCI. Plays CDs fine, but getting noise when playing .dst files. Ordered HifiBerry Digi2 Pro to use Coax straight to Denon AVP and hopefully fix this issue. Couldn't get sound when using just HDMI to Denon AVP.
Main problem is the change in sample rate with player 1 and 2 being synchronized. When playing just player 2, sample rate is 384 kHz. However, when I add in Player 1 through synchronizing sample rate changes to 88.4 kHz.
Also using Squeeze Ctrl via Android app on phone to run everything.
Appreciate any thoughts.
