I've forgotten how good a TDA1541A DAC can sound! Eliminating the CS SPDIF interface chip is a great step forward. I've ordered a second RPi as this one is going to be permanently mounted in the TDA DAC case. I'll make it self contained with access to the USB ports and add a linear 5v PSU.
I'm not a fan of Volumio in its current version, I'm finding a few bugs and the radio station management / interface is clunky IMHO.
Is this any better? http://tcmods.org/ & http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pc-ba...erry-pi-4.htmlQuote:

Yes, tcmods looks to be a Volumio fork. Had a quick butchers inside the image file and it is debian jessie based with systemd, where as "rune audio" is arch linux based.Quote:

I like the album art and library views also the audio info box is useful.
I have a few sd cards that I swap around.

Ah, it's very interesting. I haven't this album art on my volumio and the interface is a slightly different. I'm using version 1.55, are there any special settings or tweaks for that?Quote:

Ah, I see, thanks, maybe I'll try it :)
Yes, it looks much better. I'll clone my Volumio and install moode over the top. In the mean time though I've got max2play up and running over I2S into my TDA and it sounds just as good as Volumio but now allows me to use iPeng and gives me access to way better Radio station management plus access to BBC iPlayer, happy days!
Is that a new version of Volumio, Dunc? The one I have doesn't have the album art and the screen colours are different. Where did you get it from? :)Quote:
