I could see a static bitrate,В but no sign of the bitrate as a track plays nor the sample rate/word length. My DAC's location, /proc/asound/card1, showed that a 96/24 track was playing correctly. After installing it, I configured the ALSA output plugin option, which supports automatic bit depth, to use the hardware option for the DAC. 8 open source music players AudaciousДЄudaciousВ is available in my system's repositories. First, I'll tell you a bit about each and then I'll share my ratings. I also passed on Aqualung (required compilation from source), Alsa Player (core dumped on trying to add a 96/24 FLAC file to the playlist), Elisa (site indicates it is still in heavy development and currently at version 0.2 or 0.3), Exaile (seems that the current version 4.0.0-rc3 requires compilation from source), GNOME Music (waited a looooong time with no sign of my music library being successfully loaded), and LXMusic (could only add MP3 files to the playlist).Д®liminating those applications left me with eight to review. Several players- Jajuk, Lollypop, Lplayer, Museeks, Musique, Qmmp, and Rhythmbox-contain no controls (that I could find) to select anВ output device. A number of very thoughtfully designed and popular players don't serve my criterion of passing music directly through to my DAC, including Amarok (see this discussion), Clementine (see this discussion), and JuKВ ( the only information I could find about setting output devices dates back to 2005).

Here in the second part, I'll use those criteria to help you pick the right software for your needs.ДЇirst off, there are a lot of open source music players out there! Which is a wonderful thing, because each one is designed to make someone (or several someones) happy, depending on the features they require. In the first partВ of this series, I write about the key requirements for an audiophile digital music player and shared the criteria I use to evaluate open source music players.
