J'ai testé cela sur de nombreux appareils et les performances ont toujours été les mêmes que celles de l'USB. Cela utilise Roon comme point de terminaison. Si vous utilisez Airplay (qui apparaît également dans Roon), de mauvaises choses se produisent à la fois avec la troncature et le rééchantillonnage.

I am not following, since my comment was based on your reply instructing @IslandMD to hook up his AVR to the SHD analog inputs; which would then have 26ms added delay on the main channels (leaving the AVR to handle that difference on the remaining sub/surround channels).My AVR is hooked up directly to my integrated amp inputs where the volume control is fixed...
Volumio? It means there is a Raspberry inside? If yes, which version? 3 or 4?
I would assume they did not break SPDIF on the newer version:Would the results be the same using the optical toslink input?

Why do I get distortion when I turn on Dirac Live? Print
Modified on: Sun, 3 Nov, 2019 at 8:21 PM
Usually, this is caused by overboosting. Remember that all EQ requires additional headroom. In the case of Dirac Live, it will boost by up to 10 dB, so if you run your SHD at 0 dB volume with a digital input (e.g. in the case where you control volume in the amplifier instead of in the SHD), then you will certainly get clipping of the output signal. If you experience distortion, reduce the level in the SHD to less than -10, and increase the gain on the amplifier accordingly.”
Did you try just the Wifi Dongle included with the SHD? Or did you ever try a 3rd party one?
Thanks for that link. My intention would be to use it with a Chromecast Audio optical output instead of using the internal streamer.
I guess everyone's use case of volumio is going to vary. I for one have found volumio basically unusable due to the lack of processing power the onboard nanopi has. If I used roon I would probably not have had an issue. Same with already having a networked library to stream from. For anyone going old school with an attached hard drive the nano pi does not really have the grunt to cope with a large library (and is specifically referenced in the manual). It is a bummer, considering how cheap a slightly faster running computer is... The rpi4 solved this issue for me, but added a second box.I only use it as an endpoint for Roon and it works just fine.
I have a chromecast connected to my shd this way. It works really well, though I pretty much just use the Spotify connect app now instead and so rarely use the chromecast.
Just be careful what you feed the Chromecast if sound quality is a concern:Thanks for that link. My intention would be to use it with a Chromecast Audio optical output instead of using the internal streamer.
I have tested Airplay many times. It limits SINAD to 96 dB or so.But when 98% of your recordings are 16 / 44.1 that's not a real problem ... But actually I think you should try Airplay so that we know exactly what it is doing in relation to an ATV or a device that implements this transmission protocol. It would be great if you could do that. We would be corrected: when this was verified on a French site 10 years ago, it was 16 / 44.1, but it is possible that today it is 16/48 or 24/48.
No I had it powered up using the power supply. I didn't realise it would work powered by USB...May I ask, did you try powering the CCA from the USB host port on the rear of the SHD?
