Again, I may be wrong here, but shouldn't a class-compliant USB DAC actually be less work? For many class-compliant USB DACs, you got out-of-the-box support in the standard linux kernel made available by Raspian and the like, not just in newer, but also in older kernel versions. (I am aware picoreplayer is not based on Raspian). For a Hifiberry, you may need to build your own kernel, as the default kernel will generally be missing some modules unless you're using a very recent kernel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dafiend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60637 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
