'Analog Dinosaur' succumbs to the joys of FBA : enter Raspberry Pi 2/IQ-Audio DAC+!!

Hi Simon,

I was looking for a usb to 2.5mm plug.
Could't find one so I went for a pair of these. You will need to solder them.

Quick update for those that are interested. Pi-DAC+ boards are currently in manufacturing at the factory in Scotland. I should have them in the next few days at which point they will be tested. If no major screw ups (with the physical boards) then they will be made available on tindie.com shortly after.

Best regards,

Excellent news!

Battery or Linear PSU?

After a lovely evening listening with my Pi connected to a MCRU power supply, it's a no brainer for me. I'm just loving it.

Good stuff Rob, Nick knows how to make a good PSU I'm just in the throws of tweaking my DIY version, I need to drop a few more volts and will do that with another stage of regulation...

Fantastic reading (been here for the last two nights) but well worth it !!!
I am going to dip my toes in the water too but i have a question regarding the Volumio interface, which is can this be controlled on my tablet via an app? If so can i see all my albums and select just one to play,also can i see all my tracks as a complete playlist and play them via random playback?

Thanks again

Anyone got Spotify connect working on the Pi yet ?

Yes. Mass wisdom suggests it will only work on a fresh install.

Wow. Why not dip those feet and you will see. Yes you can select one album and random play. I do not use it like that. Get those feet wet

Not so here, unfortunately....

Does anyone control the RPi with a tablet device other than an Apple? There are plenty of other makes out there. I'm just not an Apple person you see.
