Hey all,
I have a DIY USB DAC called the Gamma2 that I have plugged into my RPi / MoOde music server. It's only capable of 16/48khz playback or input rather. Internally it automatically upsamples everything to 24/88 or 24/96. Either way the DAC expects 16/44 or 16/48. I have a lot of varied material at different sample and bit rates. If I play 24/192 at MPD defaults, audio is output at 16/48, which seems reasonable. Should I be using SoX for sample rate conversion or am I better off leaving it alone? It seems like there has to be a conversion in MPD before outputting the DAC anyways. What do you guys think?
