How is it different from previous version where it supports DSD playback ?

It shows as an app under MY APPS under Daphile UI and under extras under LMS UI. When launched it reads the disc and shows all possible album names it could match. After selecting the album it will load the song/track list to playlist and starts playing. So far I feel the SQ is on par or better than a ripped flac version of the CD. But I need to do more listening to confirm.

It's fine as it is, shows Album info and track list. I would assume Daphile would not have the CD playback function by default as it is not part of core LMS which is mainly a streamer. With a USB external CD Drive I am hoping to eliminate my dedicated CD Player!

I use an external USB CD drive with its own 12v power supply. Although the drive is not displayed under STORAGE it is displayed under CD Ripper. CD Ripper allows to rip.

Installed CD Player plugin to play audio CDs. I guess there is no default way to play CDs without addon plugin

Using Daphile on ECS Liva powered by 5v LPSU. Recently I attached a external CD Drive to play/rip CDs. I am able to to rip audio CDs, however can't find a way to playback CDs directly within the UI. Is Daphile capable to playback audio CDs directly without ripping like a regular media player ?

Previously it was mentioned Daphile would not work with ECS Liva as it is UEFI bios, but the latest version is running well with ECS Liva. I am on ECS Liva + Daphile past 3 weeks, and absolutely good sounding.
