Can't match $30, but another alternative is the CuBox: http://www.solid-run.com/products/cubox
I got one this morning and the sock firmware will run squeezelite and supports usb audio and async hifi dacs. It's about 3 times the price of the Pi, but its doing what I envisaged Squeezelite could do on an arm like device. Plus there's an hdmi display and ir port which could be made to do something useful too... Anyway if anyone wants an alternative to the SBT with async usb support which supports mmap alsa (which gets the best our of squeezelite) then this looks an option for a roll your own squeezelite box. As with the Pi its really targeted at developers rather than end users so is really only showing what a diy solution could give. Note for people who followed EDO on the SBT forum: it needs an external high speed hub if you have an async usb audio class 1 dac. [looks like the "missing" silicon in the Pi is common on embedded arms - they don't support full speed async dacs correctly without a hub] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97721 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
