  1. Hi CR250 - would you mind reposting the link please as it doesn't seem to have come through on your post? Many thanks. All, I installed Deadbeef without a problem, but it won't play DSD/DFF files. I thought it may need a plug-in but couldn't find one. As a result, I'll give MPD a try next. Doing a quick test of playing a FLAC in Linux has thrown up a separate issue . . . I can't get the Netbook under Mint to stream to my DAC. Only have sound coming from the Netbook. Under Windows/JRiver, there are settings I need to check under Audio Options and assume it's the same for Mint/MPD etc? Feels like I'm at the start of a steep learning curve! Thanks Dumfy
  2. As I mentioned earlier, I'm a complete noob with Linux Mint. It seems installing programs isn't as simple as it is in Windows. I'll try out Deadbeef as suggested, but I've also seen Music Player Demon mentioned a lot too. Am I right in thinking that to use MPD in Mint, I also need to install a client such as Gnome Music Player? How are these installed? The same way as @CR250 mentioned above using gdebi package manager? Will Deadbeef and MPD/Gnome let me play DSD/DFF as well 24/96 and 24/192 flac?? Cheers Dumfy
  3. Hi jriver, Thanks for that. I did know JRiver was available for Linux as I'm using the Windows version. I'm trying to be true to the open-source idea and hence giving Linux mint a try and then use whatever open source programs are available. Having paid for JRiver once, I'm a little reluctant to pay for a Linux based version as well.
  4. Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I've been an audiophile for a long time and also a computer audio fan. I normally use Windows & JRiver to feed Hi Res audio to my DAC up to and including 24/192 and DSD/DFF and it works and sounds great. I've just taken the plunge into the Linux world via Mint & 32bit Cinnamon and what I'm looking for is a recommended Hi Res audio player for Linux - much like JRiver is for Windows. Any suggestions please? I'm currently using a 5 year old Samsung Netbook for purely music/Hi Res work. I'm dual booting Win 10 with Linux Mint and was going to try the HQ Audio Player which seems to be highly recommended, but is only 64bit I believe. The problem I have is that the Atom processor in the Netbook is 32bit only. I'm totally new to Linux and have only recently installed it. Are there any 32bit Hi Res audio players out there for Linux that are easy to install and use? They must be able to stream hi res flac and DSD to my Yamaha DAC. Many thanks for the help Dumfy
