help: Pi3 USB out to Modi DAC

[optimator]

I'm trying to get the USB output of my rPi3 unit running piCorePlayer to drive my Schiit Modi 2, without success. I can drive the Modi from my laptop and can play audio directly from the Pi3 when configured for analog audio. Am I missing some setting in the piCorePlayer or is there a compatibility issue with the modi? I have the output set to USB.

 

Another question:

Does the piCorePlayer support input directly from a USB drive? Is another OS a better choice for both streaming and playing from a USB drive?

 

Thanks for any help!

I am now trying Moode, which seems more promising except for the poor GUI interface. Unfortunately I get big static at low volumes on the rPi3 analog output and only crackle on the USB output.

You would be better to ask on the LMS piCoreplayer thread at Slimdevices forum.

There is a new update dor pCP v3.10- audio which may well facilitae your requirement.

I just got volumio working without much trouble. Hopefully all will be smooth moving forward.

With Moode try the "advanced kernel"

With Moode I just set "I2s audio device=none" in the "Configure/Audio" config panel

 

 

and "Audio device=USB audio device" in the "Configure/MPD" config panel

 

 

and I got music from my Chord MoJo.
