    Oh my... oh my.

    I'm hearing... but still can't get my head around how this is possible.

    Proper witchcraft.

    Lucky you!

    I just got home to find a package containing the case, but not the DAC+ board that I ordered to go with it. So I have now got a bare Raspberry Pi and a nice matt black case, but no DAC!

    Quite frustrating really.

    Leave it on, bruv

    The more on/off, off/on that occurs, the more chance there is of something going wrong. The RPi draws a minuscule amount of current, so best just to leave it powered up, but dormant, then wake it up when you want to play moosik.

    Thanks, Marco.

    Does it automatically go in to a dormant state after a while?

    Are we finding about 30% of the PCM master volume in alsamixer about average? Not disabled the volume in volumio yet.

    I've had JazzGrove on for the last hour... the sound is astonishing!

    My heart sinks whenever I get one of them cards...the office they take it to us 4 miles away right through the worst of the traffic. Ironically if I lived the other side of the railway line it would be South Tyneside and I could collect from a place a mile down the road.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
