• Linux kernel upgrade from 3.8 to 3.12 series (improved audio device support)
• Bug fixes and minor improvements mostly for CD ripping and networking

• Some package updates (Perl, LMS, kernel, etc...)
• Bug fixes (incl. Mytek DAC driver problem with previous version)

• IPv4LL used as backup for direct PC to PC connections
• Volume control bug of the routerless setup fixed
• WMA playback fixed for WMA radio streams
• Boot graphics mode changed to 800x600x16bit to improve compatibility

• CIFS "sec=ntlsssp" case should finally work
• Some audio device initialization failure cases
• Media server start-up failure case
• Occasional disappearance of network drives

• Power down monitor 1min after network connection
• File system clean up – smaller ISO files

Not sure if this was asked, but are you using the Logitech or community build of LMS.

Thanks

Keep up the great work

Daphile is using Logitech's nightly builds. It's a bit cut down (eg. unnecessary perl libs removed, etc...) and slightly patched (really minor mods) version. The CPAN Audioscan is patched for DSD support.

I urge everyone looking for the best sound OS should try Daphile, the sound play through Daphile just clean and fast, you don´t have to worry about DSP setting, up sampling because you don´t need it, it just sound natural.

For reference, I store my Hi-res file in NAS, CD rip in single FLAC with cue sheet

So what do you think makes Daphile sound good, and what are you comparing against?

Any special reason to prefer relying on a cue sheet? Doesn't that restrict your choice of software quite a bit?

Hope this help.

Thanks, but not really. Until you provide a description of your test setup along with listening test result logs, it is all adecnotal and subjective - not very useful.

guys, enjoying music is subjective, I am just trying to share the experience on what I found and I am not saying it is THE best sound OS, and I have no connection with Daphile. It is up to you if you want to try it and you do not need to pay a penny at least for now. By the way, although I believed in 1 and 0 are identical push out from all computers, the user interface and the way how it setup are very much personal e.g. I don´t need to setup vnc/ssh for remote access nor I need to compile custom driver etc, it just make it a step forward compare to my previous experience.

• Kernel version reverted to 3.12.5-rt7 (some HW platforms have boot problem with 3.12 RT patches rt9-rt15)
• More improvements to audio device initialization
• Stability fixes for some HW (disable C states > 1)
• Minor modifications and fixes to web UI (incl. battery indicator)

julf,
From win xp to win 7, foobar with or without up sampling, cplay, rplay, JRM, Media Monkey, Linux ubuntu studio, Audiophile Linux, Gentoo and other distros I couldn´t remember the name, players mainly deadbeef, Audacious, JRM Linux etc.

• Faster kexec reboot disabled by default. It does not fully initialize the hardware and this is known to cause some very strange problems.
• Drive partition table erase tool in initial settings at console (USB-boot)
• Configurable sample rate change and DoP-PCM mode switch delay parameters for Squeezelite player
• Credits at Info tab to show license information of included packages
• Some new configurable options for CD ripping
• Bug fixes and other minor changes

• Linux kernel series 3.12 with realtime patch is still having some issues and that's why the kernel is reverted to latest stable RT patched version in the 3.10 series (please contact if this causes problems on your setup).
• Some other minor bug fixes and changes

• Squeezelite promoted as the default player (SqueezePlay still available)
• PCM resampling configuration for Squeezelite
• Configuration options for ALSA buffer time and period count parameters
• Package updates, eg. security update for openssl
• Other minor changes and bug fixes

• RT-kernel upgraded to 3.12.19-rt30. RT 3.12 series reached stable status. KNOWN ISSUE: Some AMD multicore CPUs don't boot without C1E disabled in the BIOS settings (same problem with RT 3.10 series).
• Backport patch for USB audio driver: Improve buffer size computations for USB PCM audio (no more nrpacks kernel driver parameter).
• Option to initialize a new empty data drive in Settings -> Storage.
• DFF ID3 tag scanning fixed. "Clear library and rescan everything" required.
• Other minor changes and bug fixes

• Kernel upgrade to the latest stable version 3.14.4. CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT patch dropped. Improved stability and compatibility.
• Experimental support for the DICE based Firewire DACs, eg. Mytek Digital Stereo192-DSD DAC and Weiss INT202/203/DAC202 (none tested).
• Suspend functionality
• Power button configuration possibility
• Some other minor changes and bug fixes
