Hi, Was curious to what this $500 device was, just a quick correction, it turns out it has its own built in power supply (115/230V 50 - 60Hz, 2W) and cable that comes out of it. Info gleaned from here but still $500 seems expensive for what it is:

Hi, I took the one that I have apart, if anyone is interested. The main chip is the TI PCM2902E It also has 4 op amps, they are all TI 2353UA's I admit that I'm a little surprised that this interface doesn't have S/PDIF connections. The PCM2902E can handle S/PDIF (as opposed to the PCM2900

I haven't tried a Raspberry Pi 2, but I did get Rivendell to run on a Hummingboard, which appears to be an Israeli clone of the Pi. IT works very well. I want to use these to build 1 RU boxes I can deploy to World Classical Network stations. The only stumbling block is getting broadcast

If you're building 1U boxes anyway, might be worth putting a balanced audio driver chip or transformer in the box. That's what I ended up doing for a little embedded Pi "codec" I built. Ended up being far less costly than a balanced USB card though admittedly more fiddly to build. Regards,

Hi. A while ago, I saw a post about running Rivendell with succes on the Raspberry pi 2. There was some talk about uploading the image, so a lot of people could save a lot of work :-) I can't remember the person who has the image, but maybe the time has come to upload this image? Would be great!
