See the second paragraph in this link, but its a setting on the DAC. You hold the vol buttons down. Give it a try as it cant hurt any

I'm afraid the problem is in the dac itself.... I tried using it on my Mac with Audirvana, and it was systematic: no audio output when in a playlist I switch from "44.1" to "48" and vice-versa.
I ended up forcing Audirvana to always downsample to 16/44.1, which is not clearly a solution.
I opened a ticket with LH labs support.

Thats a shame. It looks like a nice device. Hopefully they work it out for you.

This is not a solution for my dad issue, but for "casual" listening, is there a way to configure Rune to force a downsample (say to 16/44.1) on output?
I know this "denies" the whole point of having hir-es playback, but as a temporary measure it would allow me to experiment with the "global random play" rune option.

yes, in /etc/mpd.conf you can set the sample at something "static"

audio_output_format <sample_rate:bits:channels>
This specifies the sample rate, bits per sample, and number of channels of audio that is sent to each audio output. Note that audio outputs may specify their own audio format which will be used for actual output to the audio device. An example is "44100:16:2" for 44100Hz, 16 bits, and 2 channels. The default is to use the audio format of the input file. Any of the three attributes may be an asterisk to specify that this attribute should not be enforced
