New Raspberry Pi Model B+


Recommended Posts

I ordered one as well. They claim the audio is improved however I'm not sure if that extends to the USB bus and external DAC. I just transitioned from Raspberry Pi servers to a Mac Mini however I still have a couple of Pi's. Using them for Shairport servers to stream my iTunes library. Perfect fit for the Mac Mini server.

Do you know anything about the new LAN9514 chip? I hope it doesn't effect the USB audio performance as much as the LAN9512 chip.

I think this applies only to the analog output port. The power supply is now switching, so USB audio may in fact be slightly degraded.

I was really hoping they woild come out with a new model with more CPU. I guess I'll have to wait...

 

I don't have an issue with CPU speed at all on the Pi. If you set it up headless at stock 700 MHz it's plenty fast to run a music server. It's when you try to run the GUI too that it becomes too slow.

I believe (reading between the lines) there will be a Mk II Raspberry Pi out in the future - perhaps a Raspberry Pi Master given the previous naming convention - but this is (obviously) not it.

...in my opinion / experience...

While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing.

And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism.

keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out.

Chris ... have you ordered any of the DAC boards or any other additional audio hardware to play with?

Thanks for the heads up Chris! I ordered up an older one as a spare. I have no need for the USB as I am using the i2s pins and saved a few bucks getting one on sale. Avoid USB and they work without a hiccup.

I read that the new switching regulator circuitry was quieter and that it would improve the on-board audio quality.

It's very possible Richard.

 

Have you read anything about the USB audio performance?

 

My boards arrive Wednesday :~)

 

I haven't read anything about USB audio performance. On the B+ introduction video and the raspberrypi.org site (I think it was there) they brieflly talked about the USB implementation and that 'many bugs had been fixed'. From that I got the impression that it was much the same implementation as on the B version, just with more sockets.

I tried to compare the LAN9512 to the LAN9514 but couldn't really tell if it's just three more ports or something better.

 

The Release Notes is where I saw some USB improvement info, but that's got nothing to do with the Model B+

I received the Model B+. Using a USB DAC I get pops and ticks at 24/192. I think I need some fine tuning help. Anyone have suggestions?

 

I tried these from the Beaglebone Black tweak list assuming they would work here.

 

 

nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

- Arrow to the bottom of the file and add the following text -> options snd-usb-audio nrpacks=1

 

nano /etc/inittab

- Place the # symbol in fron of the following lines

2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3

Maybe it is worth trying Raspberry Pi audio distribution like Runeaudio or Volumio to see if they fix it? I haven't tried using an asynchronous USB device with a Pi for over a year, but my HRT Streamer II+ and Musical Fidelity V-Link didn't work at any speed then, let alone at 24/192.

 

I think one of the many I2S DAC cards will work better with HiRes 24/192 and DSD once they are available for the new board. The B+ should be better now the I2S GPIO are on the standard header and don't need soldering different sorts of headers for each individual DAC card. I've got an IQAudio PiDAC and case which doesn't sound bad for the money - that could be very nice when they come out with a B+ version.

Thanks for the followup Richard.

 

I tried Volumio last night but for some reason eth0 couldn't be found. As far as I know the B+ works just the same with older distros. I'll see if i can figure it out and I'm going to check out some of the add-on boards.

New RPi B+ has changed I2S pins and needs other pinmux. Just with four jumper wires - it does not work (and not yet with latest distro, June 2012):

It needs a Linux Kernel Patch.

I did (just change three bytes in a kernel module, driver) - it works:

Raspberry Pi B+ and RPi-DAC

 

Without kernel patch and trying to use I2S - the RPi B+ will hang (conflicts on GPIO pins).

With the kernel patch I did - all I2S DACs, also RPi-DAC-RCA (HifiBerry alternative) will work which do not need I2C control (Wolfson will not work). For those - please wait for the updated Rasbian Linux distro.

I've been running the 'old' RPi for over a year now, and after learning a lot of lessons I have it rock solid stable.

 

Tips:

1) Use a wall wart that supplies enough current. 1 amp should be sufficient, 0.5 amps and you may see system crashes, particularly if you unplug USB devices. I learned this the hard way.

2) Use wired Ethernet rather than wifi dongles.

3) Don't overload the USB bus.

 

I have my RPi hard-wired to an off-board sound card, for conversion of the USB stream into S/PDIF, which I then run to my DAC. I've nothing against the async USB implementation of my Eastern Electric MiniMax DAC+, it's just that I want galvanic isolation rather than 5v of unregulated external power hitting the MiniMax's circuitry.

 

I did a fair amount of tweaking around with the mpd.conf file to get myself stable. No pops any more, just bit-perfectness all the way. Perhaps a thread on mpd.conf could help more people put their faith in Linux as an audiophile OS.

 

On the CPU question, mine averages out at 1.8% load when streaming music ... so hardly a need for more cycles, unless you want to do other stuff with your RPi in parallel to listening to music. (I don't.)

Have you tried playing 192 or 96 music? Any pops or ticks?

 

can you post your mpd.conf config ?

I've only run 16/44.1 material ... I don't have any hi-res stuff. I'm getting such good results off my pcm files that I haven't felt the need. Though I may give it a go some time soon, just for the challenge.

 

I could post the config file, but I guess I shouldn't pollute this thread with it? Shall I post/send it somewhere else?

Post it here. It's relevant to the new B+ model.

Okey dokey. It's a fairly large file though, as it contains various configs which I have swapped in and out.

# setting defaults to the XDG directory, otherwise the music directory will be

# be disabled and audio files will only be accepted over ipc socket (using

# file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.

#

#music_directory "/var/lib/mpd/music/remoteMusic"

#music_directory "/mnt/remoteMusic/"

#music_directory "/mnt/macMusic/REM/Green"

#

# This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this

# directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use

# playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD

# format. This setting defaults to playlist saving being disabled.

#

playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"

#

# This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to

# load the database at server start up and store the database while the

# server is not up. This setting defaults to disabled which will allow

# MPD to accept files over ipc socket (using file:// protocol) or streaming

# files over an accepted protocol.

#

db_file "/var/lib/mpd/tag_cache"

#

# These settings are the locations for the daemon log files for the daemon.

# These logs are great for troubleshooting, depending on your log_level

# settings.

#

# The special value "syslog" makes MPD use the local syslog daemon. This

# setting defaults to logging to syslog, otherwise logging is disabled.

#

log_file "/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"

# This setting adjusts the size of internal decoded audio buffering. Changing

# this may have undesired effects. Don't change this if you don't know what you

# are doing.

#

audio_buffer_size "4096"

#

# This setting controls the percentage of the buffer which is filled before

# beginning to play. Increasing this reduces the chance of audio file skipping,

# at the cost of increased time prior to audio playback.

#

buffer_before_play "50%"

# --create-db must be run to change the database.

#

#

# This setting controls the encoding that ID3v1 tags should be converted from.

#

#

# songlength_database:

# Location of your songlengths file, as distributed with the HVSC.

# The sidplay plugin checks this for matching MD5 fingerprints.

# See http://www.c64.org/HVSC/DOCUMENTS/Songlengths.faq

#

# default_songlength:

# This is the default playing time in seconds for songs not in the

# songlength database, or in case you're not using a database.

# A value of 0 means play indefinitely.

#

# filter:

# Turns the SID filter emulation on or off.

#

#decoder {

# plugin "sidplay"

# songlength_database "/media/C64Music/DOCUMENTS/Songlengths.txt"

# default_songlength "120"
