Hi s.k.,

So far as I can see, the output settings are configured according to your output device. If you change them by editing the mpd.conf file, the changed settings will only last until next reboot, when the file will be overwritten with what is in the MPD settings page.

Try moving the # to the line above and restart mpd. It will output 24 bits at the source's sample rate until you reboot or make any other changes to settings.

From what rern has said, it looks as if the resample settings will soon be added to the settings page, which will solve the problem. I have several DAC chips which I like to play around with.

Hi R101,
I stopped the MPD
I made the mpd.conf file modifiable
I removed the # from my mpd.conf file – as you suggested
I made the mpd.conf file unmodifiable again
I reload the daemons & started the mpd
I rebooted the system

The change that I was made was present.
I am on e6 on a Pi2

Hi s.k.,

The difference is that you made the file unmodifiable. In +R e6 it is modifiable. Looks like a good workaround if you don't find any problems.

Your file has two format settings, one of which is commented out. If you just delete the # I am not sure which setting it will use, but I assume the second one.

Some interesting observations there s.k.

If MPD is responsible for limiting the sample rate to the maximum the DAC can handle, that's pretty clever. From the quality point of view, it is a pity it doesn't output a multiple of the original rate, but even soxr will not automatically do a conversion which relates to the original sample rate, so I guess that is too much to expect.
