Thanks Michael, impressive summary, as usual.
As a bit of background, while waiting for the minidsp flex to be in stock again i decided instead to go all in with a Motu M4 + camilladsp using your instructions including the flirc remone and the display
I also decided that i dont want to have a black box anymore on sight and this is something that the Motu allows me to do: I can put everything in a cabinet and hide a little display with the volume and the flirc receptor behind a little panel of dark glass. The only "problem" is that i find the display you use a little bit too big and the glass pannel solution would not be that small anymore and i am afraid it ends up looking like a DIY Frankenstein.
btw, to my surprise, i found someone here in ASR that did exactly the same i want to do (+ the flirc receptor). I would like mine to be even smaller.
MiniDSP or NAD M10
I went through your post carefully but the thing is that DDRC-24 can’t route output signal to it’s USB port. USB is used only to for configuration or acting as usb DAC input. I wish I could use it like you described :) no it's not it's bi-directional. like an audio interface. I have access to...audiosciencereview.com
My problem is that i cannot program anything, and the moment i need to change anything to troubleshoot or modify something, it becomes a no go for me, so i guess i will go for your solution as i dont think i will find what i wanted. I have searched a lot and i could find some other displays with the same specs and a bit smaller, but just a bit (2.8" instead of 3.2")
I have also found that Audiophonics sells one that seems to match the requirements, ships from France and is cheaper, so this will be what i will probably order:
White SPI / IIC 256x64 OLED 3.12" screen - Audiophonics
Here is a very elegant 3.12 "256x64 OLED screen with superb brightness and excellent readability. It is already mounted on its PCB with a soldered connector.www.audiophonics.fr
When i set it up and see in real how it looks like, i might ask you how to "erase" some of the info your code makes it show (i.e. sample rate).
Lets see how it ends up
That display looks pretty much identical as the buydisplay.com (has same exact dimensions of 100.5 x 33.50 x 6.30). Only thing I am somewhat unsure on is SPI vs 6800 8 bit. On the New Haven Display switching between them was just a matter of pulling certain pins high / low, however with the buydisplay.com display they have you select whether you want SPI or 6800 8 bit when you order. The Audiophonics says that it is SPI, probably worth inquiring if it is possible to switch to 6800 8 bit.
At this point modifying what the display shows is pretty easy with a bit of guidance. Let me know what you want to change and we can work through. Will be a good addition to the tutorial for others that may be interested in a modified display.
