I didn't own a USB DAC so I bought one of those USB->SPDIF converters based on the TI PCM2704 chips you can buy from Hong Kong on eBay for about a tenner. This is the one I got: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190709814201?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. According to the TI datasheet it's a USB 1.1 device, and is a 16 bit DAC.
Hooked it up to an old QED Digit I had lying around and it worked like a charm. It also has an analogue output which works OK - certainly with a much lower noise floor than the Pi's onboard analogue audio. > The upside is that I've put an arm hardfloat binary on the squeezelite > page.. I've tried both your soft and hard float builds - both work equally well and use about 5% CPU when playing 16/44.1 FLAC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
