  1. ...well it's been playing .dsf files all day without phase lock problems thru an XMOS bridge to the I2S port, so it doesn't look like an overheating issue any more--even tho my unit dates back to July--but maybe something directly related to the Amanero board...have been periodically reducing the BW setting from 15, it is now at 8 and have not had any sign of static ...have also flashed the Amanero firmware--to the 2003BE build for linux--and am interested to hear that you are seeing what sounds like similar but less severe USB/DPLL behavior...so maybe it's the firmware then, if not a faulty Amanero module, because the PL static issues definitely preceded the firmware update Also sent an email to the bleerock address this AM, maybe they will have some info to share
  2. good morning bibo01 and thanks for your reply, ...well there are 2 layers of power conditioning in place and the DSD filter is set to 70k at the moment, although I have tried the others as well...am wondering now if it is overheating...it usually plays for an hour or so and then static until the USB source is stopped and restarted...maybe a test with a USB to I2S converter should be next... Do you know of an easy way to ID the modified units from the original production runs? thanks again, and any thoughts welcome
  3. good morning bibo01, did you ever manage to gather info on this? I have been playing with the bandwidth settings for a while now, whenever I think about it anyway... and have found that even when set to 15, there are times when the DAC will lose lock on high rez files--both flac and dsf That has me wondering if there isn't some other settings magic that I am missing... thanks and any thoughts appreciated, rikm
  4. ...hmmmm, well no, not exactly... the command string: 'sacd_extract -I -i192.168.1.38:2002' will generate an iso image file on a linux PC that would otherwise have run the java GUI... never tried the USB option, it always seemed easier to just rip the CD across the network rather than fuss around with a USB stick... ...so in my case for example, that would mean my music server running linux talking to the PS3 via the local network connection. The PS3 with the OtherOS app runs on the PS3 as if a game, asks you to choose server or local mode, and then just shows that same simple text screen that will acknowledge that an SACD is inserted, but not do much else... The point being that either way, after starting up the PS3 piece, all the other action takes place on whichever PC -- linux/mac/win -- you are using. I hear you saying that you don't have a lot of experience, but if you have the PS3 part working and the client app with java part installed in whatever PC you are using, you are doing fine. My suggestion was to check for the mac/win equivalent of the linux executable 'sacd_extract' and see if you can run that without the java front end...the behavior you reported seems anomalous so using the command directly without the java piece may yield different results.. ...and given the many different versions of java that are out there, it seemed good basic troubleshooting to take it out of the equation if we can...and as to your other question, getting to a command prompt on a PS3 is a whole 'nother conversation, and really won't help at this point, so we should probably stay focused on the real issue.
  5. [quote name= It plays fine in my disc player and in the PS3 too, but the sacd ripper package does not recognize the disc ejecting it. Any advice or suggestion? [/quote] Well if the CD is fine maybe it's just the java GUI that's confused?...perhaps try from the command line?...the following will generate an iso image at a linux prompt for instance, is there an 'sacd_extract.exe' you could try? ~/bin/sacd_extract -I -i192.168.1.38:2002
  6. Thanks for the confirmation...as I mentioned the 0.3.8 -extract code compiles w/o error but the -ripper code is looking for older versions of a couple of libs...no worry now as it is unchanged from the previous release, which as you say is working fine on the new unit... ...fyi, was not able to pm Jason here in the forum, and he did not respond to an email to his gmail address... rikm
  7. ...that's kind of odd...the link opens a tab on Firefox but has the URL without the colon.. ...just an extra special feature of the forum software? Thanks to greynolds for the quick fix...
  8. just an fyi to any and all interested, While waiting for MrWicked's better hardware solution to become real, the BD drive on my old PS3 started to fail...searched for local fixit shops but given that probable cost found instead a seller on eBay that delivered an sacd-ripper capable unit for $200...ordered Friday delivered Tuesday w/free shipping... Had to do the custom firmware and ripper pkg installs but it's all good... http://www.ebay.com/itm/141819938559 rikm
  9. Well the code for -extract and -ripper are in the same src tarball, so the topics certainly seem related enough...and one compiles and the other doesn't, so it seems a fair question... But there is no Changelog in the src, are you sure that the -ripper code did not change between revs?... ...the linux version on the Sonore site has not changed since MrWicked released the new src bundle to github, but I'm guessing that only means they still have the v037 of -extract there as well...
  10. Good morning all, has anyone managed to compile the latest v0.3.8 sacd-ripper release?...or even just have a link to a pkg file for it? I get an error on the compile: make_self: /lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.0' not found (required by make_self) and it doesn't complete... It was looking for that specific version of the libcrypto lib and a link to the one Fedora has [libcrypto.so.1.0.1k] seems to have made it happy enough to get to the error above, but a similar link to Fedora's OpenSSL lib [libssl.so.1.0.1k] did not work... thanks and any help appreciated, rikm

    Good morning and thanks for your reply, It does work with the full path...quotes not needed as there are no spaces...had to turn the GUI off and on again for some reason, but then the file showed up in the GUI and played... Doesn't work with a playlist however...my saved lists are all simple .m3u text files and have relative paths, so that may be the issue there... That and the GUI requirement for CLI functionality will make it less useful for me however...has anyone done anything with the remote networkaudiod that they can share? Have not installed it yet and was wondering if that might be more useful... thanks again, rikm

    ...some apps write an Album_Artist instead, both sometimes appear in files from different vendors...and Easytag will create multiple tags with the same name rather than save one long string, if set to and if the content is written to do so... ...and I remember when the flac codec was released into the wild...was using shn files back then, the Shorten codec was the free and lossless codec of choice back in the day, but it has no tags...and I remember the doc you reference above... Those tags were proposed as a basic set but were never made into a Standard...there still is no Standard, the flac spec allows most any tag name and content...hence the variations in tagging software and therefore in music collections... ...have to say that I have never seen a 'PERFORMER' tag per se in any music that I have ripped or downloaded, from any of the services I use...but then I don't have a lot of pop music... Can you run: metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT filename.flac on files that mp3tag has and has not written to? ...would be interesting to see if it is actually writing a PERFORMER tag for flac files or is just displaying the Artist tag as Performer...or maybe even re-writing the Artist tag as Performer for flac... ...still haven't been able to do more hqp-command testing...on the todo list for this weekend... thanks again, rikm

    ...well as I said, Easytag does have a Composer field as well as Artist and Album Artist so perhaps it would map the Performer tag that you see to Artist... sort of like the ID3v2 TPE1 tag?...and then the TPE2 and TCOM tags, as it does do mp3's as well... No dsf support yet, but it looks like dsf files have ID3 tags, so maybe they will get to those too eventually... As I understand it, there is really no standard list for flac tags, and you can even make up your own tag names and then put whatever you want in them...as long as they conform to the spec and you have an app that will read and write them. I have certainly seen vendor-specific tags in downloaded flac files, files from HDTracks for instance usually have an HDTRACKS tag...so it is no surprise that MP3Tag uses a different set than Easytag...and for most music the Composer field would likely not be populated anyway... --no Composer tag here: t01_-_Limehouse_Blues.flac ALBUMARTIST=Bengt Hallberg ALBUMARTIST=Egil Johansen ALBUMARTIST=Georg Riedel ALBUMARTIST=Lars Erstrand ALBUM=Jazz at the Pawnshop ARTIST=Arne Domnerus DATE=1976 DESCRIPTION=30th Anniv SACD remaster 2007 GENRE=Jazz HDTARCKS=hdtracks.com TITLE=Limehouse Blues TRACKNUMBER=01 TRACKTOTAL=28 [not my mis-spelling there] -- but this one t01_Clarinet_Concerto_in_A_Major_K622_-_1m_Allegro.flac ALBUM ARTIST=Andrew Marriner ALBUMARTIST=Andrew Marriner ALBUM=Clarinet Concerto K622 -- Quintet K581 ARTIST=Academy of St. Martin in the Field COMPOSER=Mozart DATE=2004 DESCRIPTION=the ASMF Chamber Ensemble GENRE=Classical HDTRACKS=www.hdtracks.com TITLE=1m Allegro TITLE=t01 Clarinet Concerto in A Major K622 TRACKNUMBER=01 TRACKTOTAL=07 [ a Composer tag plus variations Easytag does not see, likely for different apps...] Didn't get to work on the hqp-command stuff yesterday, will get back to it today... thanks again, rikm

    >> You should use absolute paths, unless you are sure what >> is hqplayer processes's current working directory. I did try it with the full path but nothing showed up in the log until I turned the GUI on...still didn't play, but some progress at least...can you say if the GUI needs to be active then, for the command to work? Any idea why it would not play? From your previous comments, I take it that the default xml config file does not need be be referenced for the command to work, but I did try it with that syntax included...also exported the config and tried that reference as well... Any thoughts welcome... >> Yes there is, it is the "artist" field. Performer is the artist who plays the work. >> These come from the FLAC metadata naming convention and are mapped >> in equivalent way to ID3v2 tags so "artist" = "composer" Not sure what you refer to re naming convention, but vendors often add custom tags...and Artist and Composer are 2 different tags for me...what software are you using to edit your tags? It's likely that app has a different set of names for common info than Easytag, and your 'Performer' may be my 'Artist'...in fact HQP shows a separate Performer field that is always empty for me...the tag doesn't exist in my files. ...so if the 'Performer' field name is what your tag software uses for primary artist, and if you have tagged your flac collection with the composer name in a field that you see as Artist, and do not see a Composer tag...well that would explain why the sort works for you... thanks again, rikm

    ...so what time is it in Finland ? >> You can queue items for playback for example with >> "hqp-control localhost /music/some/folder" or >> "hqp-control localhost /music/some/folder/song.flac". >> You can then issue "hqp-control localhost --play" to start playback. Well that is good to hear, and is encouraging because it means that it is supposed to work in a manner that would be useful to me...but it doesn't work for me now. I had already tried a bunch of the obvious stuff, but if: hqp-control localhost ./rbcd followed by hqp-control localhost --play is supposed to populate the playlist and start playing, then something is not working here. And I did try it with the full directory path as well with no different result. Are the hqp-control commmands supposed to hit the log?...because I am not seeing anything being added, if that is significant... ...and there is no error msg at the prompt, it comes back as if the command completed...tried it with a file name instead of a directory and that did not work either... ...so any suggestions welcome, this would be a good thing to get working On the other topic; >> But in HQPlayer all Deep Purple albums from all these three different >> places are just shown under "Deep Purple" artist. Roon by the way does >> a bit similar job, so it is also usable for me, but not the ones that expect all >> music to be under single folder, or browsers that just reflect file system structure. Well I can understand that you would want to be able to find all your Deep Purple, and you can do that because you can search the Artist tag. I would hope that you would understand that I would want to be able to find all my Vivaldi, and there is no way to do that without remembering which Artist or Album I was thinking of... thanks again for your help, rikm
