I recently built a Rasberry Pi2 with a HiFiBerry DAC+ and PiCorePlayer. And it works great. Thanks to everyone involved in the PiCore project.
I started out with a CanaKit from Amazon which includes a Rasberry Pi2, 8GB SD card pre-loaded with NOOBS, and USB power adapter. I learned the hard way that the included WiFi dongle uses the Ralink 5370 chipset and apparently is not compatible with PiCorePlayer. I bought an Edimax EW-7811Un ($9) and it mostly works great. See below for the one issue I am having. My next project is to build another PiCorePlayer, but using HiFIBerry's Digi+ (digital) output. It turns out that the Marantz PM6005 amp has a built-in Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC and I think it would be interesting to hear what it sounds like. I can always use a couple of Squeezebox players around the house. A couple of times yesterday, while streaming some albums from my collection (Apple Lossless), I experienced droputs. The music stopped playing and when I went to the PiCorePlayer, the music was still playing, just nothing coming out of the speakers. I was wondering what might cause something like that. Also, is there any way to tell what the signal strength is? I looked at both the Squeezebox page and the PiCorePlayer page and can't see anywhere that shows signal strength. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ghulse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13636 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
