I thought Pi-9 has been shipped to people who ordered.

I have finally added NuPrime Pi-9 to this site that you can purchase directly:
https://nuoem.com/product-category/custom-design/electronics/audio/

A few people have bought it in July, please provide your feedback.

I can only view the first photo (rear panel).  The other thumbnails will highlight but do nothing (in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and Internet Explorer).

Haven't tried it on a different computer yet.

I got it to kind of work with Firefox.  The rear picture is lacking but Head Fi has some line drawings that present better.

I added them below.

While clicking on the row of very small thumbnails did nothing, I did find I could scroll the row of larger thumbnails above them and then click on them for a full size image.

Thanks, I need to do some debugging on that page, nuprime website is using the same feature but working just fine.

I'm wondering how these turned out?  What have been people's experiences with the Pi with the uDSD in pairing?  What OS are you using?

For previous Pi owners, do you notice a big difference with the power supply?

Thanks for the info,
Rafa.

Hi Rafa,

I don't have Nuprime PI server but load my PI board whit ropieee or dietPI or ARMbian(*) OS's and a squeezelite software modded and compiled from source started @ boot with parameter like these:

Code: [Select]
./squeezelite -n 'uDSD' -r '384000 352800 192000 176400 96000 88200 44100' -D 0:s32le -o 'iec958:CARD=CDP9,DEV=0' -b '12400:12400' -a '499:3:32:1'
 the server side  (@VirtualMachine PC) runs  Daphile (beta) and stream  directly to RPI with squeezelite  (@DSD128 res.)

I. chain: DAPHILE (@VM PC) --- [LAN] --> RPI (squeezelite-R2) -- [USB] --> uDSD or CDP9 DAC

===

With another MODS, using circa same software with ARMBian and SPICE protocol, I can stream USB (Isochronous) directly to DAPHILE via LAN  using RPI like a bridge for the  USB virtualisation protocol..

II. chain : DAPHILE (@VM PC) --- [LAN] --> RPI (USB Virt ) -- [USB] --> uDSD or CDP9 DAC

With this MODS the Daphile VM  view  the virtualised USB via network channel,  and use remote device like a directly attached DAC!

I started using DAPHILE because it support Tidal HIRES but it runs on X86 machines only , the RPI used like a bridge fill the gap  because the X86 machine (and coolers) is away to audio gears.

I have two of Pi servers with the uDSD, including one in my main system that consists of a pair of Harbeth 30.1s, a DAC-9 and two STA-9s.  Prior to using the Pi server I had a SonicOrbiterSE (With the LPS) and then a microRendu from Sonore.  The second PI server is in a bedroom system with an IDA-8 and a pair of ELAC Uni-Fi B5 slims.

I have swapped the pre-loaded image on both units with RoPieee, as i use Roon for playback software and wanted something specific to that.

Quite frankly i've been extremely happy with both units.  Performance wise I have zero complaints.  I'm able to achieve the same results from a product that not only matches the rest of my gear (a big + in my book) but also cost about 1/3 less than what i was using.

I don't really ever get much use from the uDSD as i have the DAC-9 and don't use headphones at home. i do have one hooked up to a pair of active speakers at work.   The primary reason why i bought it was because the RCA outputs were fixed which is what i needed for the particular speakers i have.  As a dac its great and as a headphone amp it drives my iSine 20's just fine.  I do wish the volume was a little more linear (still drives them pretty easily) but if i were using more sensitive cans or iems i probably wouldn't.

Thank you, very informative! I myself have a RPi 3 hooked to my DAC-10, and was hoping to buy a new one for the other system with the uDSD.

I still wonder how much better sound would the custom filter board would provide, but your info is very enlightning about what seems a really similar scenario.

Thanks,
Rafa.
