How do I set up my DAC+ on my Raspberry B+ running Rasplex?
As far as I can gather I need to edit my config file… where… with what?
What version of Rasplex is best with the above hardware?

The answer on this link fixed it for me:
Hi Malcolm… thanks for that. I am not experienced at making changes at this level but will give it a try… any pointers! 
It is sort of surprising that this facility is not within the Rasplex code itself. I would of thought that as many people would be using the Raspberry DAC with their Raspberry system that it would be!?
Cheers,
Graham

It is in the Raspplex code itself.
All you need to do is:
- shut down the RasPi
- take the SD card out
- put it into your computer
- open the
config.txtfile and edit it (use an editor which can handle Unix linefeeds) - afterwards put the SD card back,
- install the HiFiBerry daughter board
- power it up
Hi.Thanks. I was able to do that using Word Pad… I think?
I simply removed the # (uncommented?) at the begining of the DAC+ line… and added my MPEG codes while I was at it.
I can now see the DAC as an option for Audio Output devices and select it… but, alas, I do not get any audio output. Is there something else that I need to change?
I am using version 1.6. Should I go to 1.8… or something else?
Sorry for the simple questions… I am an analog man living in a digital world… as the song goes!
Thanks again,
Graham

Did you notice and followed this?
# NOTE: You must disable the lirc-rpi overlay (or change lirc GPIO pin) for HiFiBerry to work correctly
The lirc-rpi overlay section is only a few lines above of the hifiberry overlay
That was the bit missed… all good!
Thanks again,
Graham
