Hi, days ago, i make some question to put the best quality audio, and a good user answer that i need to put this in the daemon.conf of pulse audio. (the post is closed, that is why i cant ask there).
That is working fine, but i want to ask… the 96000 or 48000 numbers are for the Khz of the sound?
Because im using Qobuz music service and you can get from there 24bit at 192khz.
So, i need to change those parameters or is not related?
However, unless you’re running a studio with 192kHz capable signal chain (DA/AD conversion, DAW, etc) and need ultra-low latency recording, I doubt that a switch from 96kHz to 192kHz will give you any benefit apart from a warmer room in winter .
But since you’ve signed up for the hi-qual service I guess you probably know that.
if i dont get the 192000? (because not all the music is at that “level”) some are 96 and less… it will play the 96 if i have in alternate 48000??? and what would happen if i put in alternate 96 but, there is song with less resolution.
Thanks.
Im making the test in manjaro but using a raspberry pi with a hat (iqaudio dac pro) as server.
I dont know how config pulse audio in raspbian… yet, it seems that nobody know how in the rpi forum. Maybe im gonna install archlinux in this raspberry, i hope is not too complicated, just want a headless server. But with the iqaudio dac pro working so probably im gonna lost there.
Edit: about how good is this DAC… i just dont know, i dont have too many money to expend and for me the sound is really great. But… i dont know how to meassure this.
It’s all you need if it can handle sample rates of 48kHz, (“DVD quality”), 96kHz or even 192kHz at 24bit. No one I know can hear a difference between those values, the only limiting factor will be the quality of your speakers/headphones. I record vocals and send the stems to a studio in Amsterdam for mixing, they want 24bit wav files at 48kHz.

hi. Thanks. About how you config pulse with the reddit tutorial… can you explain why he put to true “avoid resampling” and also put a resample method?
i mean, ok, you want to avoid resampling but resampling anyway?
Also, he dont talk about this options
can i mix that resampled method with that? And, for what is the resampled? i just want the more fidelity to the actual recording i can have. (…yes im an ignorant, maybe this is not related at all, but i mean, i dont like to put higher bass or whatever, i just want to hear as i suppose that the musician wants)
Play content with higher sampling rates (96kHz, 192kHz) if possible, if not possible resample but use a high quality option?
Maybe the guy left them at default? Do not try to set ‘s32le’, for your DAC they should be left at something like:
You mean a high pass filter? These settings aren’t about equalisation, this is about bit depth (8bit/16bit/24bit) and sampling rate with which your DAC will handle audio.
