SOtM SMS-100 compatibility with Devi 120
#1
I like to use LMS Server with the great iPeng SW since many years. Fortunately the SMS100 came and therefore also HiRes Music should be possible,
BUT
the SMS100 does not work with my Devialet 120, connected via USB. Angry There's some trouble in the communication protocol. After powering up the 120 or changing the input, USB communication get's lost.
I found some workaround with changing the SMS100 settings and after some minutes it works until the 120 goes to power save mode or I change the input...

So I know the sound could be very good.Rolleyes

Has anyone also experience with this setup ?
(I'm already in contact with the Devialet and SOtM guys , hoping for a solution)

Hello

I also have a SMS-100 but I do not use it with my Devialet. SMS-100 is a fantastic device (and price is very reasonable)
The problem you mention is not due to SMS-100; it is a problem with USB and Devialet. Basically, you have to select first the USB Input and not change source….
Everybody has the same issue with USB input (I have a MacMini and Audirvana and the issue is the same)
Look at my post here

I have asked Devialet about that 6 months ago, insisted many times and never get an answer. Good luck ! Does not seem to bother them too much.
Enjoy you SMS-100 !

I´m considering purchasing a D120 and own a sMS-100. Is the issue mentioned in this thread solved?

Not everybody; I have a Mac mini / Audirvana and I can change inputs and when I get back to USB it works fine. I do have a problem when I change my tv which I use as a monitor to a normal station and then back to Mac. I then need to re-start Audirvana.

I am not using a SMS100 so my experience may not be valid for your situation. I've used various Linux based players (as far as I know the SMS100 is Linux) and JRiver on both Windows and Linux with my 250 via USB and have not had this problem.

The main reason is probably that I have disabled the 'Sleep' setting on my 250. I.e. I only let the amp go to 'Low power'. This way the USB port on the D is powered all the time.
The second factor may be that I use an Acuvox USB power supply on the D USB input.

In Linux the Devialet USB input presents itself as "card x: D20 [Devialet USB Audio 2.0], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]"
At the moment I use MPD (Music Player Daemon) and have found that I need to use "device "iec958:CARD=D20,DEV=0" to make it work. iec958 is the spdif "port" of ALSA
When I use squeezelite, which I believe is the player used with LMS on the SMS100, I use "-o hw:CARD=D20,DEV=0" and also "-r 192000". The -r tells squeezelite to run even if the sound card is not present when starting and also that the card can support up to 192000.

EDIT: the 120/200 hardware may also behave differently than my 250 when switching inputs.

Hopefully your SMS 100 is working fine. The sound of this combination is exceptional but
neither Devialet, nor SOtM solved the USB issue. In between the SMS100 did not connect to my router. Sent it for repair - it worked for 3 weeks (I didn't shut down the device) - Now after vacation-shutdown it does not connect to my networkAngry. No idea how to proceed. Obviously there are some SW problems in the SMS100...
