Well, it will keep you out of mischief.

Just a caution: VLC for Android is a cut down version and will not Cast; but Omnia will.

At the risk of lengthening your reading list the free VLC Player will cast video and audio from PC or Mac.

There is yet another way.

The smartphone is used as the controller of a server; and the server sends data to the Chromecast Audio Dongle (and on to a DAC.)

I use Logitech Media Server (LMS)...

And there are OTG adaptors that power the DAC or other peripheral from an external power supply so as not to drain the phone battery; and there are even cables that allow you to charge the phone and...

Isn't that what I just said?

I have been recently been using two Chromecast Audio dongles as virtual Squeezeboxes with Logitech Media Server and the CastBridge plugin to make it possible. When the dongle is used as a transport...

I think it takes folk differently. I am ten days after testing positive. For the first six days I had the heavy head cold symptoms and felt dreadful. A lot of that was down to lack of sleep because...

Glad you and your wife have fought your way through this Dave.

I have had the miserable head cold for a week after testing positive for COVID, and am just beginning to feel human again. I'm a...

Sorry to hear that Dave. My Daughter has it at the moment but she is young(ish) and healthy - a nurse and triple jabbed. She just feels a bit "under the weather". My wife and I are also triple...

I use Sennheiser HD25s and won't be looking further.

I must rip a CD to uncompressed FLAC and have a listen myself, but I cannot reliably differentiate between a good quality MP3 (or AAC) stream and a FLAC stream. The best Internet Radio Stations that...

That is not a particularly helpful or edifying posture, Stan.

Doing some more reading I note that as well as FLAC compressions 0-8 there is also an "Uncompressed FLAC" option, and that I did not...

I was not suggesting the use of WAW, but questioning Stan's words "That's why I don't use any compression if I am the one creating the FLAC file from for example a CD."

A detailed technical...

I don't understand the point of creating a FLAC file with Zero compression. Why not just leave it as a WAW file (or similar uncompressed format) if the file is not shrunk for easier storage? Maybe...

There is one issue using the SEG and a Raspbery Pi and PiCorePlayer via USB , the cause and remedy you will see in the link below.

When connecting by USB the SEG has to be running before the rPi...

Thanks Alp.

Stan is about to send to me one of his latest batch of his latest DAC. My 7510 is close to 20 years old!

These are about £8 I have one and a spare. Does me!

I never pay full price - they are going for £9 at the moment. Cotton, decent weight, no logo, range of plain colours. Very good...

I have not posted here in ages and only recently returned to the Squeezebox forum.

I have restored Squeezeboxes to my home network and moved Logitech Media Server from an ageing PC to a Raspberry...

I have two old Standacs and they just keep going. I have no complaints, but they are rather dated, and better numbers come out of newer models.

I wonder would I hear the difference?

I still have a one of Stan's earlier DACs, a TC7510, in daily use, It's strapped to the back of the TV to which it is optically coupled. A Google Chromecast Audio is also connected. The 7510 drives a...

Well spotted. Yes, Neutron 4s sideways on. I hunted the internet for a a TV cabinet just right to accommodate them! They are compromised in that position, of course, but they sound better than a...

My first StanDac is now strapped to the back of my TV.

Literally strapped. I bought a 2" wide black luggage strap and bolted it to the VESA mounting holes.

I have a 7510 and a Caiman-Gator, both of which have two pairs of RCA sockets offering fixed and variable output. I use the fixed output to drive an amp that has its own volume control and I use the...
