Dithering can now occur on a 32-bit or 24-bit sample rather than on a 16-bit sample, making the noise floor very much lower. This is the case, for example, with a Pimoroni PHAT DAC. **New Features** -* 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, 24-bit three-byte (S24_3LE and S24_3BE) and 32-bit output to ALSA. (Other back ends are not updated yet.) -* 44,100, 88,200, 176,400 and 352,800 sample per second output. +* 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, 24-bit three-byte (S24_3LE and S24_3BE) and 32-bit output to ALSA devices. (Other back ends are not updated yet.) +* 44,100, 88,200, 176,400 and 352,800 sample per second output. This is done using simple upsampling. * Internal processing including software volume control and interpolation is done after sample size and rate conversion. * Apple ALAC decoder support. This needs the `libalac` library, available at [ALAC](https://github.com/mikebrady/alac). Add the flag `--with-apple-alac` to the `./configure` arguments. Then you can choose the Apple ALAC decoder in the configuration file. Pesky Changes You Cannot Ignore ==== -* Settings have changed -- basically, any timings that were denominated in frames (44,100 frames per second assumed) are now denominated in seconds. Please refer to the shairport-sync.conf.sample file for details. -* Sox-based interpolation at 176,400 samples per second may very well overload your CPU. +* Settings have changed -- basically, any timings that were denominated in frames are now in seconds. Please refer to the shairport-sync.conf.sample file for details. +* Sox-based interpolation at higher sample rates may overload your CPU -- yopu might have to choose between higher sample rates and sox-based interpolation. **Bugs** * Documentation is not updated.
