You can make some great sounds using a Pi and a DAC.
Hope this helps

Not tried a squeeebox John but sure there are folk here who do. I have a hdd connected to it via usb and the pi connected to router via a ethernet. dac out to main system. all controlled by either a pc or tablet where you do all the set up, or on moode you do. on volumio some things have to be altered via a keyboard and a tv via hdmi. Moode is more stable in my opinion and sounds better too. settings will vary depending on the software used and the dac used. I have the latest pi2b 900 and the atest top I-Sabre dac. It was a breeze to set up.
Hi John, I've been using an pi 2/B with an IQaudio 12S DAC in my SB network (kitchen system) for about 2 months now, I'm running piCorePlayer which is the best option if you only want an SB player...as the software has such a small footprint it runs from RAM, therefore no chance of corrupting the sd card, even in a power cut.Quote:

For the hardware, and...

...for the software, NB use Triode's version of Squeezelite
Neat, robust, and the SQ is significantly better than the SBTouch/HiFimeDIY U2 combo it replaced...
It integrates seamlessly with LMS, and I've had it synced with my Touch/MDAC combo (living room) without any issues for the whole period
FYI I'm about to experiment with this pi DAC alternative...

...again I'll be using piCorePlayer, only problem is that there is no proper case just yet, it's still in development :)
That's Will that's what I wanted a tested route. I will report back.

Hi John, one further tip, I'm using piCorePlayer version 1.19 for Pi2, I tried 1.19i and reported the below issue...Quote:

Having said that 1.19 is excellent ;-)"
...I've not tried k or l (not sure what happened to j), as the base 1.19 works perfectly with the IQaudio DAC
Everything else is well documented in the IQaudio .pdf, including building the case etc.
I think your only issue will be IQaudio's stock levels...;)
I use 1.9l and it works perfectly for me. There is a major update soon to be released as well.Quote:
