Hi,
I was staring at my 10 year old Mac pro (tower of power/cheesegrater) and my ability to keep it relevant all these years by swapping out cards and upgrading ram and hard drives and wondered "Is there an equivalent project for AV pre processors? Maybe an open source OS for AV pre/pros that would allow me to build and upgrade my own pre/pro over time by buying and swapping in the appropriate AV cards, DACs, etc?"
I mean, this is now commonplace for audio/Video streaming with the Raspberry Pi and various OS builds like Volumio, Rasplex, and Moode.
I did a quick google search and found this project from 2017: https://hackaday.io/project/20469-modular-open-source-av-receiver
And lo and behold it was done with a raspberry pi.
It doesn't seem to be active anymore and I wondered if others have gone down this road or think there could be potential here.
Since there are enterprising folks building and selling amplifiers and media streaming boxes I thought this might have merit.
Anyone already travel down this road?
