In Reply to: RE: Raspberry Pi 3 as USB audio streamer - some audiophile settings to try... posted by Archimago on January 07, 2017 at 11:41:11
Hi.
Welcome to the PI club.
Most recent PcP is 3.10! Not 3.02.
Numerous audio related patches went into the optional audio kernel of 3.10.
Most recent Moode also comes with that specific audio kernel (and also squeezelite beside MPD)
Running a 44.1 flac at 2%CPU load doesn't reflect the most efficient
setup.
I have it down to 0.4-0.7%
Another hint:
Try a buffer setting of e.g.
-b 20000:600000
That'll give you a 600MB playback buffer. There'll be no
network streaming during playback.
And PcP also offers to turn off HDMI. Do that. It'll save you even more
power.
Enjoy.
Follow Ups:
I looked for this and was unable to find it. Which screen is this option on?

It's available in the admin or beta mode under tweaks if I recall it correctly.
I don't use PCP anymore. I can't be of much help here.
There's also another way of accomplishing hdmi = off afaik.
Add to /boot/config.txt
"hdmi_blanking=2"
Good luck.

Have you changed your opinion of USB output? --- I thought I remember you did not like USB out of a Pi at all?
Cut-Throat
Why?
I still don't use USB DACs anymore.
Most of the tweaks apply to both approaches though.
