raspberry pi

Hi everyone! I have a Pi 4 on the way and I have been looking at different DACs to use with it. Originally I was going to go with one of the HiFiBerry HAT DAC chips, but after looking into it I found that the external USB DACs are actually better quality for less money, and that with the Pi 4...

Hello Everyone, I am posting on this as people have been messaging me about how to use CamillaDSP with a Pi4 or any linux based system to turn the Motu M4 or any other audio interface into a very powerfull DSP. I use this for a 2.2 system with Genelec 8030s and two 8" DIY subwoofers. This...

Hi, I hope I'm allowed to post here. If not please notify me and delete my post. I've been looking around the internet for solutions but could not find anything, that's why I'm trying to find some help here. I would like to build a streamer (Qobuz) that can EQ the music and output via usb to a...

You will note from this simple question that this is all new to me. I have an TU-8200R tube amp with a DAC board: https://tubedepot.com/products/elekit-tu-8200-optional-dac-module-ps-3249 I want to get music on my hard drive to the DAC and be able to control it through a tablet or phone...

I'm not sure the following is even possible due to how high-frequency sound is perceived in off-axis listening configurations. In any case, here are the 'concept parameters': hardware/audio optical or coax digital input single speaker configuration available (maybe something like a sonos play...

Hello. How are things? I hope well I don't know if this is the correct place in the forum to ask my question. This was discussed in various topics but since I never used PI, I have some doubts. I have Topping E30 and Topping L30. An external hard drive with 750GB of music. Subscription to...

Hello ASR people! I'm working on assembling 2.0 speakers kit + diy stereo amp. And I'm thinking if I can extend this setup to use it as a home cinema system. I want to make it wireless splitting it to from speakers and rear speakers synced between two raspberry Pi + some fancy soft like Volumio...

Hi All, I'm soon to invest in an extra HiFi setup for my Corona Home Office, so I'm loosing some time on the forums trying to figure what my next DAC will be. I have a bunch of old Raspberry Pis rotting in the basement, and I thought I could re-use one of them to create an audiophile DAC. I...

One way the Pi4 is better than the Pi3 is the USB and Ethernet are now on separate buses. That was a problem for the Pi3 that created issues when using USB DACs. One popular solution was to use a SPDIF hat to feed a DAC and an excellent example of that was the Allo DigiOne Signature that Amir...

Hi. First posting on here, but have been reading for a while and finding the reviews and forum very informative. So thanks for the education so far. I'm looking to build a bedroom streaming setup without spending a large amount of money. I have an old but decent analogue-input-only integrated...

Barely used this, put it on the shelf a year ago, and now all I'm getting is the red power LED when plugged in. I've tried multiple SD cards to no avail. Obviously, selling it as is. Includes official RP white and red case and AC adapter. $20 shipped and Paypaled (Friends & Family please) to...

I realize running BOINC distributed computing projects on a Raspberry Pi is not particularly exciting for most folks given the ppd values are so low. That said if you have a Pi that has some unused CPU bandwidth you might be interested in donating compute power to Rosetta@home. Normally the work...

Details on implementation are light, to say the least. But it appears Folding@home (and Rosetta@home) will now support ARM64 and work on Android phones and Raspberry Pi devices. https://www.engadget.com/foldingathome-rosettaathome-arm64-support-121508788.html...

Hi there! I'm about to set up a solution that should look like this next week when the Topping E30 will finally arrive: Tidal/Qobuz -> Raspberry PI (3 for now but will change to 4 if there are issues with the USB) -> USB -> Topping E30 -> NAD Amplifier I'm wondering which OS to use best for...

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and want some advice. I am thinking about putting together a device so that I can play the high quality music files on my network drive and stream audio to my stereo system. My price point is up to about $200. I am thinking about using a Raspberry Pi with a...

Hi, I want to use my RPI4 as a media streamer. The media streaming part is easy - Kodi, but there are some acoustical issues in my room that need some dealing with, namely a 50hz boomy peak (and some other smaller issues). Currently I deal with it rather effortlessly with Equalizer APO on...

hi all, my name is marcel and i am from germany. i really like the amp reviews that amir and the other members are doing. the objective measurements without all the voodoo surrounding the hifi scene. currently i am looking for a new stereo setup for my living room. i am running a rasperry pi +...

Khadas has changed the VIM3 slightly from when we previously reported on it earlier this month. The single-board computer (SBC) now features a more powerful Amlogic SoC, the hexa-core A331D, which can output up to 5.0 TOPS. The VIM3 now starts at US$99.99 and will ship worldwide from August 10...

Hallo, i am thinking of switching my Arcam irDAC, Squeezbox Touch and NAS for a one box solution. Raspberry Pi with a DAC. From my research i end up leaning towards Khadas Tone Board but notice the less known Audiophonic Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC on the internet. Can anyone tell me whats the...

Meet the PecanPi DAC and Streamer Improvements over previous generation DAC include: Fully linear ultra low noise power supplies Re-clocking with Crystek femtosecond jitter oscillator Built in HW volume control (no Volume-Clocker needed) Built in high performance headphone amplifier Full...
