Hi all. I've just installed piCoreplayer on a Raspberry Pi 3, pretty much aiming just to prove the concept for when the day comes that my slowly dying Squeezebox Duet finally dies and has to be replaced. Frankly, I'm astonished that the team who run this project have produced such an outstandingly good piece of work. The GUI is very well put together, the software works like it should, and I've now got a complete Squeezebox alternative with LMS running on my network. I dug out an old Soundblaster USB DAC which is hooked into the hifi, all my music is on an external HD (>1.2TB), SMB share available for updating and backing up, and all so comparatively easy to do! Huge thanks and congratulations to all involved!
Not everything was totally straightforward, however, and I have kept a note of the various steps where the user guide might benefit from a little "Tweak". How would I let the team know about that? And yes, I'm quite prepared to do whatever is needed to improve the wiki if that would help. The concept is now proved, and I'll soon be shopping for a DAC to replace my Duet receiver. Is there a thread somewhere that I should be using to pick up wisdom on what's available on the market? I've got some minimum requirements - ethernet or USB in, high quality analog out, digital out, and a second analog out would be a bonus. Last words: Great job, team. And I'll be off to PayPal very shortly!!
