Thanks, yeah, it should be bit perfect under those conditions. However, with synchronisation off, the buffers will eventually either overflow or empty. |

Hi,
With my external DAC (Naim DAC V1) I can check if a music player streams the data bit perfect.
For that, I have to play a specific WAV file (one for sample rate), and the DAC checks wether the data is bit perfect or not.
In a DELL Latitude E5250 running a Lubuntu, shairport-sync data is bit perfect in these conditions:
ALSA
output_device = "hw:1"; // 1 in my setup
ignore_volume_control="yes"
disable_synchronization = "yes"
I listen to only one AirPlay client (running on the Dell Laptop connect to the Naim DAC V1, Classé Amp and ProAc Reference Loudspeakers + Sennheiser HD600 ). So, I don't need synchronization.
No synchronization, no inserting or dropping frames.
Because I have my dose of OCD, I run a strip down Lubuntu without PuseAudio (just ALSA).
I'm not shure if I have to disable synchronization.
Anyway: bit perfect at 16 bit 44.1 KHz from Windows iTunes, Mac Apple Music and JRiver, and third party apps for streaming to apple Air Play devices.
