Isnt the Digione a SPDIF?

So you'd need a separate DAC.

Yes this would be for Separate DAC configuration.

Ordered a Digione board, so will try it soon.

Nice one Grant, I will be interested in what you think. Which DAC will you be using?

goes into my xs valve dac normally although ive other options too. The Vena has a dac in it too

Grant I think you quite like the digione. I was quick to dismiss it when first installed it over a CCA but after some A/B testing it was easy to distinguish it's benefits.
I'm using BubbleuPnP to play tidal through Volumio on RPI to my Seg but cannot get anything above 44.1khz. Am I missing something?

might be something to do with bubble. not sure it can go beyond that. I use audirvana to send it. my dac takes up to 24/192 so i get av to upscale to that, or dsd
Grant what is your set up with your Pi as I am thinking of using Audirvana with a set up once I decide what pi to bake !

win 10 to av upscaled via ethernet to rpi then to dac and amp. let pc do a lot of the hard work seems to be better for the pi. you should be able to upscale what your pi and dac allow. more memory and faster processor on pc helps.

That's exactly the setup I use. Upscaling on the pc with AV improves the sound hugely but I have found that the pc needs a lot of fast ram to achieve high DSD rates (e.g. DSD 256).

yeah my new one would be fast enough(i7 and 16 gb ram), but the xc dac or the digi board i have doesnt do it at that level. think it maxes at 64. might be digi board so new one, which i will put through the vena may well do.

DSD 256 works fine with my old MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), 2.3ghz Intel Core i7 with 16GB 1600mhz DDR3 ram.

Nice thing about Audirvana is being able to use Audirvana + on the iPad. It sounded great when I ran it into the Qutest DAC. May try your route into a Pi.
Did you try Audirvana into Pi with Allo Boss?
I’m puzzled. I’m using a Pi3/Hifiberry Digi+ Pro into a Beresford TC7510. The Pi is running Volumio, which finds the music on my NAS, and connects to Tidal and various internet radio stations. It will also find music files on a USB stick plugged into the back of my router.
So what does BubbleUPnP allow your setup to do that my setup doesn’t?

If your volumio plays tidal then you must be a subscriber to volimio (myvolumio) to gain access to the tidal plugin. Volumio charge €3p/m for this benefit i believe.
I didnt want to pay that so needed to use bubble as a way to push tidal through volumio but i think what i really need is AV as others on this thread are to get the full beans (192/24)
Can AV be used on a portable device or does it have to be desktop (given the processing power required) How much is AV?
