It seems low risk to try out a basic RPi with piCore Player as I already
use IPeng and Orange Squeeze as controllers.
It would appear to be the cheapest option too :)
I'm dreading the day that my SB3 dies, or one of my Radios. Suppose i

Now that the question has been answered, time for a bit of silliness. I
have to admit that when I first saw this thread subject line, I
immediately thought the OP would be asking something like, I love
listening to classic grateful dead, particularly 1969 through 1973.
Please recommend some other

The short answer is I have complete 700 dead shows in addition to the
studio albums. So I can't run out. :p
more serious answer is actually quite hard. The Grateful Dead are part
psychedelic rock, part americana, part improvisational jazz. So which
I'll go with those although Little Feat are a little later than the
timeframe.

My SB3 has died. Well, not completely. But I have tried new power
supply, removing wifi card and other waving dead chicken suggestions.
My choices appear to be:
1. Take it to local hifi repairer. This would appear to have an
uncertain outcome and cost me upwards of $80.
2. Buy a second-hand SB3

If you want a display -- and a nice one at that -- your idea of using an
Android tablet is a fine one. You should have no problem using the
headphone out jack to your amplifier. You'll need the SqueezePlayer and
Orange Squeeze apps (or equivalent); both are inexpensive.
You may also need a
You could go with a cheap tablet or ithing and then move to an RPi
if/when the SB dies. You can use the tablet for the RPi in any case. My
Touch units are still OK but I just built a basic RPi with piCore Player
so that I'm covered when the SB's die.
I'd second the Raspberry Pi solution. I'm running three, all using
piCorePlayer 1.19:
A model B with a USB connection to an external DAC
A second model B with a HiFiBerry DAC (this required a small amount of
soldering, but not difficult
A model 2 with an IQaudioDAC+ (this requires no soldering

Raspberry PI B+ are cheap right now. At least here in Sweden.
I don't think the standard analogue out on a Pi is sufficiently good to
make it a contender on its own. You will hear unexplained crackle and
pops. I think you would have to couple it to either a Pi DAC card or
14 matches
