Post an internal photo of it without the cover if you get a chance.
That's one thing that I dislike about most of these single board
computers - that they don't have all of their connectors on the

The issues are not with the playback driver, but there are input drivers
loaded by the overlay that are dependent that may need to be added to

It looks nice, but just to ensure that everybody reading this realizes
the obvious - the case is made of aluminium, so it shields from
radiowaves, i.e. you can't use wi-fi or bluetooth. Since the USB port is
there, you can plug in some external wi-fi or bluetooth device, if
needed.

Tip. Once you have assembled the sub frame try it in the case both ways
around. It appears to be either / or but the faceplates sit slightly
proud if you have the sub frame upside down. On first fit the Torx

A new pCP release is always good news. 4.19 is said to be a big one,

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Play native DSD on piCorePlayer 3.5 (Raspberry Pi 3B+) and Chord Mojo DAC = no sound

2019-03-18 Thread soundcheck


Hi there.

A small update regarding bullet 1. of my last post.

On the 3B+ I do run onboard Wifi nowadays. The Wifi part has been
seriously improved on the 3B+.
If you'd then run a USB DAC, you'll get rid of the shared use of the
USB-ethernet interfaces. Which is really nice!
Wifi connects straight to the SOC. That should work quite well.

Since I'm running mostly i2S Audio HATs, I'm getting rid (turn off) of
USB altogether, 
which saves a serious amount on the 3B+ current consumption.

Enjoy.

[SlimDevices: Unix] A nice Pi case !!

2019-03-18 Thread d6jg


Perhaps like many I find the cases available for a Pi to be a bit ugly,
very plastic and I particularly dislike the ports being all on different
sides.

I have just built a new Pi based player which is going to use a USB DAC
using this new little black aluminium case which features a clever add
on card that puts all of the ports on one face of the box (the back).

Its quite well built but lacks any feet (easily sorted)

There was this new DAC announced and is already on sale: 'HiFiberry Dac
& ADC'
(https://www.hifiberry.com/build/documentation/datasheet-dac-adc/?utm_campaign=website_source=sendgrid_medium=mail)


Might be an easy solution to streaming vinyl from my turntable, if I
read 'this'
(https://www.hifiberry.com/build/guides/integrate-analoge-audio-devices-into-your-multi-room-system/).
So I have some questions about using it with PCP as it needs at least
Linux kernel 4.18 and drivers. PCP seems to be on 4.14 and the DAC will
not work with it. Also it misses the input drivers I think.

bpa pointed me to this thread for answers regarding the implementation
of input-drivers into PCP and updating the kernel.

I quote him and ask: Will there be a solution for this DAC to use with
PCP?

The drop down is the list of OUTPUT DACS - just because the DAC is
supported does not mean the ADC is also supported.Sometime there are
two sets of drivers one for input and one for output - sometime
combined.  I don't know the current availability and level of support.
These are questions for the pCP developers.

BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE - I THINK YOU MAKE A POST ON THE PCP THREAD 
HTTPS://FORUMS.SLIMDEVICES.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?109404-ANNOUNCE-PICOREPLAYER-4-0-0
(ALL THE PCP DEVELOPERS READ IT AND THEY HAVE MANY DACS WHICH ARE USED
WHEN TESTING PCP RELEASES ) AND  ASK WHETHER THE INPUT ADC IS SUPPORTED
?  YOU SHOULD GET A DEFINITIVE ANSWER  YES , NO OR PERHAPS A SET OF
INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO INSTALL A DRIVER.
As PCP 4.1.0 was released in Nov 2018 and the ADC card was only release
on Nov 2018 - I think this new HIfiberry DAC+ ADC card was not tested.

PCP - used a RAM based reduced version of Linux called Tiny Core Linux.
This means if playing internet streams or  accessing files over network
- no "disk" activity.  It also means after "installing" items such as a
plugin or a driver  - you need to check on the PCP way of making it
"permanent" - otherwise it will be goine after a power down.  This is a
well known task and many instructions for it.

The Input ADC will need a device driver.  The device driver needs to be
built for the PCP version of Linux - IIRC you just cannot take a driver
suited for Raspbian or similar Pi based Linux.   If you're lucky it is
already included in the PCP build. If not the PCP developers may be able
to provide the driver if Hifiberry provides a single driver module for
all their boards and it needs to be updated to keep PCP support current.
I would think your skills would not be up to building your own driver
for the ADC.

Maybe I got it wrong, but will the PiCore-system recognize this new DAC?
Is it the same HiFiBerry DAC+ that can be found in the dropdown menu of
PCP? Will it be set up if my IQaudio DAC is removed and replaced with
this HiFiBerry?

There is nothing complicated here.  If you havce installed and got PCP
running I think you probably already have enough skills.
* The Waveinput based solution requires the Pi with the input to be
running LMS. PCP can do this.
* Waveinput is only a plugin - most of which is automated in LMS -
posting on PCP thread can usually provide required help as PCP is ram
based and so has a few additional quirks compared to standard LMS.
* Creating a menu for Wavinput is just creating an LMS Favorite. 

The main issues is making sure the input hardware is supported by PCP
(i.e. has the device drivers inlcuded) and to test it beforehand with
"arecord" as Waveinput uses arecord.  As a start, you could buy a very
cheap $5 USB audio input  device as a test that you can set up
Waveinput.

A bit more expensive but good value is a 'DacMagic+'

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] New HiFiBerry DAC+ ADC with analogue input

2019-03-18 Thread d6jg

I have a Pi that is already dedicated to that role but mine streams in
FLAC using a Liquidsoap script and an Icecast server. It uses a
Behringer UCA202 as it’s ADC.

I am sure you can add this in to PiCorePlayer but it’s not trivial and
why would they do so now just because Hifiberry have built an ADC? There
are plenty of others that already exist and work with Linux.

[SlimDevices: Unix] New HiFiBerry DAC+ ADC with analogue input

2019-03-18 Thread bluetdi

There will be soon this 'HiFiberry Dac & ADC'
(https://www.hifiberry.com/build/documentation/datasheet-dac-adc/?utm_campaign=website_source=sendgrid_medium=mail)
to buy.

Might be an easy solution to streaming vinyl from my Turntable, if I
read 'this'
(https://www.hifiberry.com/build/guides/integrate-analoge-audio-devices-into-your-multi-room-system/).

The DAC must be recognized by PiCorePlayer and the analogue input needs
a menü in Jivelite probably. Installing something like this is beyond my
capabilities I presume. Might this be incorporated into PiCorePlayer?

What do you think?
