RE: It's even worse than that

If you're looking after best sound from your MPD setup you should try following:

If you're able to install ecasound on your Voyage Linux you should try the pipe output of mpd into ecasound and then to hw:0,0. Ecasound
comes with one of the best realtime-kernel allgined audio engines under
Linux.

I'm quite sure you'll hear a difference.

Something like below should do:

audio_output {
type "pipe"
name "pipe-eca-hw0-4416"
format "44100:16:2"
command "ecasound -q -B:rt -r:98 -b:64 -f:s16_le,2,44100,i -i:stdin -o:alsahw,0,0 2>/dev/null
enable "no"
}

Would be interesting to see how the Ayre DAC responds to that change.

Cheers
