Re: Tinker, Tailor, Streamer, Pi.

The Pi3 attached to my DigiOne was dead. No idea what happened to it, but I moved the DigiOne board to a Pi4, configured Ropieee and alles güt.

Sounds great. Will keep me going until the Pi2AES 2.0 arrives.

Re: Tinker, Tailor, Streamer, Pi.

Does anyone know if the Allo DigiOne will work with Ropieee? If so, is any additional configuration required within the OS, or is it P&P? According to the Ropiee site, the Allo DigiOne is compatible. https://ropieee.org/audio_hardware/ This streamer in a headphone setup does benefit from the If...

Re: There & Back Again: A Hobbi...Headphone Lover's Tale

Hello folks, It's been a while without updates, but system developments have been on hold pending delivery of my latest DAC in the seemingly endless search for headphone audio nirvana.
