Hi all,
Has anyone managed to get Inguz running and working with Linux on SbS
7.6/Touch? I use a QNAP TS-509 NAS which should have the horsepower.
It's installed up to a point! The SbS 'Home/EQ' WebUI is functioning -
including the EQ graphic display and I can modify, save and recall new

One reason not to bother is that with modern cartridges and tonearms,
there's no reason not to just play the Lp when you want to hear it.
