Of course, still a GPIO keyboard would be a good way to actually control the playback. Looks like most issues are no problem at all and can be solved easily… nice.
(if not please feedback)Īdditional idea B) Using the GPIO Pins to provide a simple “keyboard” with “play”, “stop”, “previous”, “next” function while audio playback (=without the need to use a USB keyboard for this). Once loaded, I believe RaspyFi still will load parts of the OS from SD card, so changing the SD card without the OS being installed upon would surely be critical.
I would be willing to create seperate SD cards always with the core system on them (if necessary) and with different audio files for this purpose. Idea A) Copying RaspyFi System + the audio files I would like to playback onto one (the same) SD card with setting up some kind of automount/autoplay function: so booting up RPi -> auto boot/starting RaspyFi -> auto playback of the tracks on the playlist / on the SD card.
My general thinking/opinion is, when using USB for high quality audio transfer, I don´t want any other external USB device attached to the USB port which I could probably avoid but there´s one catch with this -> how to playback / skip tracks ? I don´t want to use a monitor/lcd either, only for configuration. wav file support (16 bit 44.1kHz is ok for me) – when can we expect this to arrise (RC3 release date probably) ?Ģ) I plan to use Raspberry Pi model “A” WITHOUT(!) a keyboard attached to it for RaspyFi. I´m considering to buy a raspberry pi soon and to use RaspiFy for my battery-powered dac and headphone-amplifier, but there are two issues at the moment I think need to be solved or discussed before I´m actually getting more into this…ġ) I really need. It feels great to be part of such a wonderful community of people searching for a higher goal.My name´s Stefan, I´m from germany a great project you have there. Many thanks also to all the people who post on the forums to spread their ideas among others. Just lately I have listened to classic setups (with turntables and CD-players) again which are several times more expensive then a dedicated JPLAY-server but far behind in SQ. Because of them (plus the many others who support their work) we are able to perform this hobby on such a high SQ level for a resonable amount of money. Their infinite search for better SQ helped us to reach this extreme high level of sastisfaction. The increase in stage dimensions and micro-details are absolutely astonishing.įinally I want to thank once again the guys at JPLAY and Audio-Phil for the brilliant products they have produced. We cranked up the volume more and more but natural instruments and human voices kept being very relaxed all the time. Simply unbelieveable! We got more of everything but still the music is extremely relaxed and flows oh so easily. The result (especially with FORCE32) was once again mind blowing! We thought we had already reached a really high level of SQ but since last night we are really in audio heaven. All items are powered by our custom made HQ linear power supply and the mains are supported with PS Audio P10 power regenerator. USB cable and from the MUTEC to a DEVIALET 800 via XLR-AES. The JPLAY-setup (including AO) is connected to a MUTEC MC3+ USB via JCAT Ref. Yesterday night we re-adjusted our dual-XEON-server-setup and we have tested FORCE24 and FORCE32 (redbook WAV only).
