Good people;
I wonder if any of you have any experience yet with the Audioquest
Dragonfly, specifically under Ubuntu 12.10 which is running this kernel
GNU/Linux 3.5.0-23-generic x86_64
This device sounds fine with 44.1 kHz / 16bit files but the 88.2 and 96 kHz
/ 24bit files do not. Specifically, I can hear the music for both of those
files, but there is a loud kind of "static" thing going in the foreground.
A "cat /proc/asound/DragonFly/stream0" when playing at all three bit rates
seems to show "reasonable" parameters. Also, the LEDs on the Dragonfly
show the correct color corresponding to the bit rate.
One thing I note is that Alsa seems to want to run at 24 bits even for the
16 bit files ie one is forced to use plughw:1,0 for the output.
When I was debugging my Schiit Bifrost (still not working the way I want
FWIW) I recall some patching that Daniel Mack was applying to the kernel in
3.6 (I think). Perhaps I need a newer kernel...?
Anyway; I can provide debugging output if useful.
Thanks for any light anyone can shed.
