mpd has many clients (gnome music player, cantata on linux and mpdroid on android and many other clients on IOS too). To use mpd, you have to setup /etc/mpd.conf and chose a client. It is just a daemon and you send it commands to play a music file and it plays it perfectly. mpd doesn't have any capability like album management, album art. One of the best sofware to play bit perfect output on linux is mpd. So the best sofware to play music is somethng which is small, tiny and lightweight. If your computer is running too many things, your player may not be able to send the bits to the sound card at the right time (remember that there is buffering to happening but if the OS becomes very slow and your buffer doesn't gets filled, you might get drop outs.

By using ALSA you have ensured that your player is sending the music bits directly to the sound card without any software coming in between (other than the player itself). Now there are too many things that happen during playback. Tools -> Setings -> Backend and select the followingĭevice: ASUS Xonar Essence One USB Audio -> This will be a drop down list showing all your hardware sound cards It is less buggy and the UI interface itself makes it possible to chose bit perfect output. Apart from that, it is still being developed by the same developers who wrote clementine. The above will result in bit perfect output in clementine. Now you just need to modify the file $HOME/.config/Clementine/nf and have the following in the section. So any software which can use ALSA devices can use any of the two names for the device In the above, my Xonar Essence One dac is card number 5 and the name is 'One'. You can see each device has a card number and also a short name. **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****Ĭard 0: STH6, device 0: Multichannel Ĭard 0: STH6, device 1: Digital Ĭard 1: NVidia, device 3: HDMI 0 Ĭard 1: NVidia, device 7: HDMI 1 Ĭard 3: CODEC, device 0: USB Audio Ĭard 4: UAC2, device 0: USB Audio Ĭard 5: One, device 0: USB Audio But there is a hack in clementine to choose the device for bit perfect play. The default device will be set somewhere outside the player by your distro and each distro is different (Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc). You can just chose to have 'Default device on Output to a sound card via ALSA'. If you chose clementine, you will lose the ability to get bit perfect output, because the developers removed the ability to chose a specific ALSA device in the Tools -> Preferences -> Audio output. There is amarok too, but I have always got stuck with the interface. If you want a player along with the ability to manage tons of files, I have only two of them which can manage large number of files without getting slowed down clementine and strawberry.

The led has actually nothting to do with 'bit perfect' it is just turned on when you use the ASIO driver on windows.

I stumbled on this post while searching if I could turn on the 'bit perfect led' in my Asus Xonar Essence One Dac which shares many features with the DAC which the OP has. Not really cool, but at least i'll make sure Which I'll probably do on Amazon and send back the item once I performed my tests. Well, as Sal1950, I was just curious about 'Bitperfect' on Linux to make sure I was getting the correct bit/sample rate out of my computer.īut I guess to be sure, I'll need to get my a DAC that displays the bit/sample rate. I am just saying that, then, I was able to tell the difference. The tracks played were : first minutes of 1st movement of Beethoven's fifth and first minutes of second movement of Beethoven's 7th.Ī friend of mine switched from one source to another, but that was not immediate.

loudspeakers were Linn Keltik with active quad-amplifcation (1 amp channel for highs, 1 amp channel for mids, 1 amp channel for bass 'front' and 1 amp channel for bass 'behind' as the Linn Keltik have 2 boomers in 'push-push' configuration, which is called 'Isobarik' in Linn's language and of course, that is for left same must be done for right !) Love those speakers that are almost impossible to drive I made them myself and they're OK and 'dirt' cheap) loudpseaker cables I made myself from a combination of various Van den Hul cables from the reel (they look like shit, but, hey.

amps were 2 Linn AV5125 with active cards for the Linn Keltik I also cannot remember if I still used the Arcam AV-8 as a pre-amp but that might well be. The player was either the Oppo BDP-93 or BDP-95, I had both and can't rememeber which one we used. I've more or less tried to remember and tests were made about 5 years ago (it seemed it was way longer than that.

I am not saying that the tests were performed 'as they should be' (and which is almost impossible to achieve) and that there are no differences in level between the different formats of the same track bought on the same site.
