I have discovered that the Tibo speakers have a USB socket at the back. I thought this was for a music / data connection but apparently it is just 2.4 amp power output socket designed to charge your phone. This was not being used by anybody else, so I have sneaked my Raspberry Pi based player (piCorePlayer) into the kitchen and hidden it behind the speaker. It is powered by the USB socket so no extra power brick / wall wart is needed and I bought a very dinky 6 inch RCA cable to connect to one of the two line level inputs in the back of the Tibo speakers.
So discrete I don't think anybody else has noticed yet! Cleverly the Tibo speakers have an auto-sensing function which turns them on automatically when they sense a music signal at one of the inputs - either bluetooth, or RCA. Very clever. Shame the sound quality is rather average. Never mind, it will do for casual listening while I am cooking :-) Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* A *'piCorePlayer' (https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home)* with two Duets, one no longer in active service. *Server:* Synology DS214 (2TB) NAS running LMS 7.9.1 *Network:* TP-Link Archer VR200 router, TP-Link access point *Livingroom:* Duet, Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/110/Headline amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* piCorePlayer, Tibo powered speakers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheLastMan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16021 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108286 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
