Again - BIG THANKS to the entire piCorePlayer team. What a great contribution.
My goal was to replace several Dell DAR players, looking for good (not fanatic) quality, with an integrated amp in most cases. I have a LMS running on a server in the basement. I didn't care much about the display or remote, but I can see how those features can easily be supported. First try was from a Google AIY Voice kit, pi Zero WH + Google voice hat. It worked easily, but I wanted more. #2 is a Allo miniBoss hat on a pi Zero WH in the Allo miniBoss case connected to an existing SMSL Q5 amp . About US$65, and other than the ALSA setup (which required going far to the right to set some parameters) it was very to put together and setup. #3 is a Merus 40w amp hat on a pi Zero WH. The hat sits right on top of the pi Zero (makes me uncomfortable, so I will get an extender header with proper pins to put it 5mm or so higher). Again, just follow a little configuration (see this post: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111787-ANNOUNCE-piCorePlayer-6-0-0&p=993971) and follow the ALSA limiter setup instructions, connect speakers, and away you go. About US$52 and good quality and sound power. I still have a few things to try, but I wanted to report my success and to say very nice things about the piCorePlayer team. -- BHA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [email protected]'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70824 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113279 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
