A comment on Volumio – The Audiophile Music Player. Parent comment
Let's assume your audio files all have one of two sample rates:
- 44.1 kHz
- 48 kHz
When you play one of these audio files in VLC, will it:
A) Force the DAC to operate at the same sample rate as the file, or
B) Check the frequency at which the DAC is already operating and (if necessary) resample the stream before sending it to the DAC?
If the latter, then you won't get bit-perfect audio quality.
