    MINIBOSS DAC For PI ZERO Review

    First little surprise trying to use a modern dongle with a pi zero (any model) is that it only has microusb host ports, and most cables the C side is the host side... yes, there are solutions, but it can take a couple of iterations to find the right one if you don't pay attention from the start...

    MINIBOSS DAC For PI ZERO Review

    That's how I used to use it: moode with camilladsp connected to the back of a topping L30 and there you go, EQ'd headphone setup that you can place wherever you want

    MINIBOSS DAC For PI ZERO Review

    It makes indeed a cute tiny and very decent streamer with a small pi zero. I have one, together with a pi zero wh (the one that comes with the header already soldered) that i don't use anymore. If someone in Europe is interested in buying it, feel free to send me a pm.

    Who is doing Linux / DSP / multi-amplification (multi channel) ?

    1 or 2 years ago i would be very interested on this. I have since found a good deal for a motu ultralite and i am settled for many years, hopefully. What i think could be something very neat to diy is a USB (or is2, tdm whatever) to multiple spdif outputs. Something like the minidsp udio-8. My...

    My first PCB - a micro streamer - advice welcome

    Something i realized with while doing all this, is how necessary stand-by leds are. I always hated them, but when it is the only way to know if your system is on... Luckily, the oled display that i use (thanks to @mdsimon2 ) has pin3 free, and pin3 happens to be just besides a ground pin. That...

    My first PCB - a micro streamer - advice welcome

    And after a few weeks more, i am almost done with the project. I 3D printed an enclosure with PETG filament. I chose PETG over PLA because i was concerning about the enclosure getting too hot in the summer. The PETG that i used has a Tg of 78°C vs ca. 60°C of common PLA. The difference is very...

    Macro Photos of Record Grooves

    if you refer to the less dark areas in the grooves, they look like wear, but i wonder if they could be dirt or even some lubricants or plasticizers blooming out of the pvc. Have you tried washing one with a bit of soap and retaking the pics? thanks for posting.

    With so many sources available now, does anyone make a multi-source auto-switcher?

    If you like tinkering and have some tiny notions of microcontrollers and programming and can solder a chip, it makes a very nice and relatively cheap diy project. I am finishing mine (9 digital sources, but could be more) and it works better than expected. And the best is that you can make it...

    Project Rectonics aka Kamu M1: Powered streaming speaker

    Thanks for the feedback. Agree with petg not being ideal in my limited experience so far. However bear in mind that you don't need the whole enclosure to be above the Tg, any part of it going above the transition temperature (i.e. the parts closer to the amp modules) will become rubbery. I would...

    Project Rectonics aka Kamu M1: Powered streaming speaker

    Hi @KamuDesigns , amazing project! I got my first 3D prints done a couple of weeks ago and learning on the go. For electronics enclosures i am using PETG because I am afraid that PLA starts to soft if electronics get a bit hot and don't have a dedicated area to print ABS. But I am not finding...

    a hi-fi purchase of over 150 euros (Aliexpress, EU VAT & Import duty)

    @DeepSpace57 are you sure you don't need to pay the VAT when you order at aliexpress? Since a couple of years ago, as long as I am logged in, AliExpress shows me the prices with the VAT of my country (LU) and i am not aware of any setting to avoid paying the VAT at origin, that is, to AliExpress...

    RPi4 + CamillaDSP Tutorial

    A diy countertype of the original Digi+ i made myself. Initially thought that i soldered the chip badly (i hand soldered it) but the fact that it works in Raspbian and that in Ubuntu the i2c address shows locked by the driver tells me it might be a software issue. I know some hifiberry hats have...

    RPi4 + CamillaDSP Tutorial

    hey Michael, i think you mentioned that you had some of those hifiberry hats... did you ever tried to use a hifiberry digi in ubuntu? i have tried everything i found online but seems that the overlay somehow does not do its task. I am confident that the driver is loaded but alsa does not see the...

    Troubleshooting the sub (PB1000) after AVR change

    Thanks for the feedback. Mine were purchased ca. one year ago. Hm, i don't know if it is related to the quality of the electricity supply/installation or not, but i have other audio devices plugged to the same and other outlets and they all are dead silent. If the svs is extremely sensitive to...

    Troubleshooting the sub (PB1000) after AVR change

    Hi @connta The rumble you are describing is exactly my experience with my two SVS SB1000 subs. The rumble is there whenever the sub is on, be it connected to a source or not and independently of the volume. The only setting that reduces it is the crossover frequency: the rumble gets lower when...
