I'm hoping someone with more expertise in this matter will be able to give thoughts/feedback on my idea.
Ive already had great help from you guys so I'm crossing my fingers that someone can help. I've got picore player set up and running perfectly via HDMI and aux to my tv + big Bluetooth speaker. I've gutted a retro stlye radio and have plans to fit a pi3b inside. I've limited space and I'm trying to find a cost effective way of getting decent sound from this. I plan to repeat this with different retro radios to create a multi room experience. So my idea is to use something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-External-Aluminum-Headphone-Microphone-Black/dp/B000R5NJD8/ref=pd_aw_lpo_147_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=B53XJKE4Q25BAHTCSR2A Then connect a speaker to it using aux. (I've not found a speaker yet that's ideal - I need it to stay powered on, and it needs to be a reasonable size as I plan to house this in the radio. That brings me to my last problem... Power...I was thinking of a usb power source, with 2 usb ports (to connect the speaker and pi) I've also looked at DACs etc but I've never connected one before and I'm hopeless at soldering ... Would love to hear 1. If my plan would work 2. Speaker suggestions (I'm guessing they need to be powered if running from the pi) 3. What you'd do differently 4. Any other suggestions. To give an idea of space I have a pi on one side, and room to connect cables to power the other side (where the speaker was) I've room to put a pi sized speaker, possibly a little bigger Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jste84's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68885 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110095 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
