and what's downstream from SGD1? you need think about why must you have this chain Phone -> marantz instead of Phone -> SGD1?My marantz have fews pre out RC like front pre out rc.
Do you think is enaugh for have phone->marantz->sgD1?

Also, the Pre out from the Marantz is an analog output. The SGD1 Is a DAC and takes a digital input.My marantz have fews pre out RC like front pre out rc.

Raspberry Pi or similar running PiCorePlayer, Volumio or similar. Or a spare PC, NUC or thin client with Daphile, Volumio etc. pick hardware and software according to taste and/or budget. Note that with PiCorePlayer or Daphile you'd be able to play from Qobuz too - LMS has a plugin for it. Have a search - there are a few threads about similar things where any questions you have may already have been answered, and any further questions you may have would be on topic.So Phone -> SGD1 -> Marantz using Bluetooth for Qobuz is the best way, i see. Thank you!
Another thing.. I have a nas with lot of music dsd, 24bit... How can i use this dac with music on my nas?
Your Marantz SR7012 has already got a presumably good DAC in it. Not sure what you hope the SGD1 will give you over what you have and certainly not if part of the solution is to use Bluetooth. I have a SGD1 and with my Marantz CD17KI cd player feeding the SGD1 coax input I cannot notice any real difference between the CD player DAC output and the SGD1.So Phone -> SGD1 -> Marantz using Bluetooth for Qobuz is the best way, i see. Thank you!

I have the older Marantz SR7008. Be aware that if you are using any of the DSP functions, the output from the SGD1 will be re-digitized, AD, before its processed. Seems kind of pointless unless you use the direct mode.So Phone -> SGD1 -> Marantz using Bluetooth for Qobuz is the best way, i see. Thank you!

Probably the USB transfer is not fast enough. I tested Raspberry 3b and 4 without any issues, Today I am running Volumio on Odroid XU4. I also have Mac Mini and I am thinking to get NUC to test windows NT.For anyone interested I confirm that the SGD1 is correctly recognized and works without problems with Volumio on Raspberry Pi Zero W I just cannot understand why sometimes during playback of FLAC 16/44.1 I get some pops (I put the buffer to 12Mb and 40% buffer before playing, just to be sure and it didn't change anything)
It seems like reducing the buffer to 8mb 10% works better but I have to test it a bit more to say it works without popsProbably the USB transfer is not fast enough.

Probably the usual Pi <4 USB pop/click issue - Volumio seems more prone to it than PiCorePlayer.For anyone interested I confirm that the SGD1 is correctly recognized and works without problems with Volumio on Raspberry Pi Zero W I just cannot understand why sometimes during playback of FLAC 16/44.1 I get some pops (I put the buffer to 12Mb and 40% buffer before playing, just to be sure and it didn't change anything)
How does PiCorePlayer works? Is it more or less the same as Volumio? I actually use the Pi just to stream music from the NAS to the DAC so if I can do that while controlling it through a browser or an app, I can swap Volumio for PiCorePlayerProbably the usual Pi <4 USB pop/click issue - Volumio seems more prone to it than PiCorePlayer.
It's a different approach to the same problem. Out of the box PiCorePlayer is a minimal system providing a Squeezebox endpoint. That's all you need if you've got LogitechMediaServer (aka LMS) or Roon running somewhere else on your network. A lot of NAS systems have the option to install LogitechMediaServer, so that may be all you need. If you can't (or don't want to) do that PiCorePlayer has the option to install LMS on the Pi, but I'm not sure if the Zero is up to the job of running both given its limited CPU. Wherever LMS is running you can control it via a browser, or using one of the apps - Squeezer and iPeng spring to mind but there are others.How does PiCorePlayer works?

All digital inputs to SGD1 can be digital (RCA S/PDIF) outputs. The digital output and analog output of each digital input channel are simultaneous.Will it send a digital signal to a device attached via coaxial, even at the same time it's sending an analogue signal out to my amp? O
