thanks. Interesting. I've been able to find the data sheets for the A20 and A31, and they look mighty similar except the A31 seems to have improved audio over the A20. I wonder if the Banana Pi M2 (running the A31) and the Banana Pi (running the A20) are going to end up best of breed SqueezeLite platforms? I can't wait to get my hands on one! A20 datasheet; https://dl.linux-sunxi.org/A20/A20%20Brief%202013-02-27.pdf A31 datasheet; http://dl.linux-sunxi.org/A31/A31%20Datasheet%20-%20v1.00%20%282012-11-06%29.pdf - Two audio DAC channels - Stereo capless headphone drivers - Up to 100dBA SNR for DAC playback - 8KHz~192KHz DAC sample rate - Support analog/digital volume control on the A31, it says; "Two sets I2S/PCM interfaces for baseband and Bluetooth" which I guess could be of interest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ashleyw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58923 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
