Edit: TEAC UD-501 on Fedora 19 with MPD 0.17.3 works perfectly.
I think it might have been the commit in kernel 3.10.7
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.10.7
==============================================
TEAC UD-501. With MPD on Ubuntu (Server 12.04.2) with ALSA version 1.0.25 with MPD version 0.18
For PCM:
When changing to tracks with different sampling frequencies the playback has a lot of artifacts and either
plays veryquickly or very slow. Pausing/Stopping and starting playback again seems to resolve this issue.
For DSD:
Changing to another DSD track while currently playing a DSD track results in a very loud pop sound. If
you Pause/Stop the playback then change tracks there is no pop.
Overall, I'm a bit upset with this device. I had found a post online saying that it was an XMOS
implementation which I've come to respect pretty highly. I suspect this is using the same usb to i2s system
as Schiit is using in their DAC line (which I've had similar problems with). If you stick to PCM and stick
to a single sample rate then you wont have artifacts... but if you want to show off your system and you have
a smattering of different sample rate tracks to impress your friend with, be prepared to apologize to them
as this thing farts in their ears.
Edit:
Found out that this isn't an XMOS implementation:
