I'm using very low jitter clocks, very low noise voltage regulators, and

Well, it does have the virtue of not attempting to explain all its
functions in the name (and it's not Vuvuzela!), but Phoenix is a very
popular name. There are at least a couple of Phoenix Audio companies
out there already.

You'll need to access the Web gui on the vortexbox to set up scanning.
It's normally on port 9000 with a standard install of LMS but could be
different if other programs are using that port.

Are we reasonably sure the wandboard is going to be used in Gen1 ?
Or does more testing have to be done in Gen0.5 before we know that's the
case ?
I'm just asking to know if it's a good idea to order one already now or
if I should wait for the 0.5 testing to continue a bit further first.
I apologize for jumping in here with such a basic question.. however I
have read through most of this thread, but am still confused.
What will this project accomplish better (differently?) than what people
are doing with the VAMP solution + USB to SPDIF converter?
