Switching the cards in my Raspberry is quickly done. And the standalone systems seem to work quicker and more stable. Max2Play was very close, but I prefer Volumio over the basic MPD player.

For some reason on LibreELEC the keys of the standard Windows Media Center IR remote (using my Harmony) work flawless again.Ī one-for all solution would still be my ideal, but this is working pretty well too. That way I don't even have to turn on the Oppo for this. At the moment I have it connected directly to my Denon AVR, since I prefer using Audyssey for surround anyway.

Kodi (using the LibreELEC built) gives out my multi-channel FLAC files up to 24/96 through HDMI. There are tutorials on the web, but it will mean going into the Linux level, which is still totally foreign to me. At some point I might look into a way to make the basic playback commands available on my Harmony IR remote. I might switch between these options depending on the occaision. For that I would have to use the app or the Volumio webbrowser UI. I can even control it with BubbleUPNP (still gapless), though the playlist doesn't survive a restart of Volumio. Volumio goes into the USB DAC of my Oppo and gives me gapless playback of everything stereo up to 24/192. Well, here's what will be my solution for now: I decided to completely split 2 channel playback and multi-channel by buying another Micro SD card and now I have Kodi (LibreELEC) on one and Volumio on the other. I would be grateful for any comments on my questions from you guys.

Is there a music friendly alternative to Kodi that offers resolutions up to 24/192 for stereo and 24/96 for multi-channel? Is there a way to control Kodi with BubbleUPNP and get gapless playback? In short, here's what I would like to find out: So I thought about trying something like RuneAudio or Volumio instead of Kodi, but they don't seem to be able to put out multi-channel Flacs at 24/96, which is essential for me. I was hoping I could use BubbleUPNP with Kodi just being a renderer, but even though it works in general, playback is not gapless for some reason (it is when I use my Denon receiver as renderer).

In short, it can't do a basic thing that every other Player software does.

For example, the playlist is just temporary. What bothers me much more is that Kodi isn't really developed with a focus on music playback. All in all it still sounds pretty awesome coming from the little Raspberry. But I might be imagining it (I really hope I do). I compared the sound of the signal coming in on the Oppo's HDMI Input to a file streamed directly to the Oppo and I thought the latter sounded a bit fuller in the bass. And a DTS signal encoded in a WAV file got passed on properly, so it probably is bit-perfect. I set it to 'Best Match' and the Oppo always shows the right sample rate for each file. So far it works pretty well using the HDMI Input, but with minor limitations.įirst of all I wonder if Kodi really gives out the PCM from my Flac files bit-perfect. My goal was to have an easy way to play my music using the DAC of my Oppo 105, but gapless. I just bought a Raspberry PI 3 and installed OpenELEC on it.
