OK, that's the kind of information I want to know about. Can you elaborate, please? I'm happy to learn.
erland, thanks for your hardware suggestions. I take it all on board, but to clarify my aim; I consciously want to build and configure my own system, and I'm under no illusion this will save me time or money. It's a matter of satisfaction. I have already partially built up my own hifi system, and I'm fortunate to have the assistance of some technicians who are more clever than I. erland;562949 Wrote: > Are you looking for really great sound quality ? Yes, the very best audiophile output. snarlydwarf;562944 Wrote: > If you have a single player and think you can find an off the shelf ARM > embedded machine with decent sound output, then go for it. Off the shelf, no. Modified/hacked off the shelf product, yes. Initially I will configure the device for USB audio output to a high end USB DAC, with asynchronous clock and good power supplies. -- audio1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audio1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80521 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
