Step-by-Step: Headless Audirvana Studio on Raspberry Pi OS (64bit)

I am aware of this. I just like to find out how far the Raspi can go with upsampling. As far as I understand upsampling to DSD is computationally much more demanding than PCM. Or am I wrong?

Yes, it’s more demanding because you’re running a sigma-delta modulator in software in addition to an upsampling filter.

Consider checking for compatibility issues or background services interfering with Audirvāna Remote. Since other apps run fine, the problem may lie in how Audirvāna interacts with your system’s network or permissions running AS on Linux Mint or remotely.

On raspberry, take the Lite OS image as you don’t need all the desktop env => Headless.
I run it quite smoothly on a small Rasp 3B - 1GB Ram only.

Just in case anybody is interested. With no modification (exept updating the appropriate config file as per instruction of the HAT manufacturer) my Hifiberry digi apeared in output device list, and it works like a charm!

Got a HAT with both digital audio output and a nvme pcie connector, amazing little kit to set up a media storage device and music streamer…

Refreshing this thread to check if anyone was able to overcome the slowliness of the remote and the “request error” messages when operating audirvana studio on Raspberry Pi 4B.

Wondering if upgrading to Raspberry Pi 5 is the only solution here.

Put a networking switch that supports IGMPSnooping between the Pi and the rest of the network. For instance, a Netgear GS305E.

Thanks it was indeed a switch which was not handling IGMP correctly (TP link sg105).

I removed the switch and now the remote is working fine
