Fiio M3k

I there any possibility that Rockbox core could ever support 24/32-bit audio?

Possibility?  Of course.  But it's not terribly likely at the moment; only a handful of the players have hardware that supports it, and need to implement in a way that doesn't bloat things for 16-bit-only players, and there's not exactly a lot of folks contributing code.  Or contributing much of anything, really.

I'm just asking because I have no idea:  Would a change from 16-bit to 24 or 32-bit be a huge upheaval?  Would it be impossible to do without dropping support for 16-bit players? Technical query, not a feature request!

I've got few measurements for digital filters and DAC power mode illustrations.
Test signal is local file generated in REW software. 4kHz square signal, 192k sample rate, PCM24.

I am curious what the interpretation of these graphs is.

At minimum, we'd need to make the audio path variable-width at compile time, so 16-bit only devices don't incur any performance penalty.

A basic question is if we want to unconditionally use 24/32-bit audio on platform that support it, or switch back and forth at runtime.  Switching makes everything a lot more complicated, with multiple code paths and new APIs.

Meanwhile. Our DSP/EQ/effect engine doesn't support >16bit.  Additionally, we'd have to implement 16-24bit conversion for the various codecs/plugins that don't support >16bit audio (that said some of our targets only support 24/32-bit audio so that's already implemented, just not in a generic manner)

Thank you for a really comprehensive answer.  Appreciated.

good morning, I have a problem, my fiio m3k player after two years of excellent functioning with rockbox, I get a message like this:panic -updating size on empty dir entry 4 (and also others Number) Simeone have a solution?thanks

Hi All, can someone please repost Vortex's build here! I want to install it again and check a couple of things

please repost Vortex's build here

I have only triple boot firmware with XVortex build, OF and native RB bootloader. It's outdated and can revert your latest RB bootloader version. To boot in XVrortex build just use Vol+ and Power.
