I'm using it headless. That's what SoA is all about. I needed a display for debugging only. I managed to get it working without display. I didn't follow up on it any further. ssh is therefore sufficient.
I tried SPDIF earlier. The driver was a mess. 16bit and limited samplerate support. Not sure if they improved that. Beside that I wouldn't expect a great SPDIF performance from such a board anyhow. PI vs. CT. It's IMO not about the USB quality. In the beginning my tweaked PI B+/2 sounded better then a stock CT. In my case it depends on the tweaking level which of the boards sound better. I had the CT sitting idle (ran as server) for quite some time, because the PI was better. That changed again. No idea if that's because improved kernel(-drivers). I e.g do full file buffering on the Pi. While the track is playing there's close to no load (some signalling) on the ethernet. Therefore the combined ethernet/usb doesn't really hurt. Regarding device-tree handling. Yep. It's not 100% in line with the fex version. It's IMO a step back - at least from a readability perspective. You can change some but not all the features. Bottom line. I do not intend to make a huge project out of it. For now. I'm fine. ::: ' Touch Toolbox and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
