  1. Chris, well done! Very informative and instructive. I appreciate your perspective, informed by your experience and passion. Chapeau!
  2. My system works and sounds great. But I'm not sure how I fixed it (if fixed is the right word). Most probably I was not using the software correctly. Sorry to bother the list. - David
  3. My Raspberry PI 2B and HiFiBerry DAC+ arrived last week to build Device 2 Configuration: Analog output. The WiFi works great and I can communicate to the RPI via the Volumio web interface, but the DAC+ powers down at the end of the "on sound". That is to say that it's green light extinguishes at the end of the sound. Following Chris' instructions, the RPI was set to the HFB DAC+ under the I2S setting, and the Audio Output was set to sndrpihifiberry. Everything seems normal as it reboots: the DAC+ green light comes on, the RPI shows up on my network, and the "on sound" comes out of my speakers. Then the light turns off and silence ensues. The player seems to play a webradio station, but because the DAC+ is off, no sound. Funny thing is that last night after messing with many setting variations, I got lovely music when I set the I2S choice to "generic". It played for a few hours like that last night; at the end of the evening I powered it down via the Volumio web interface. Today, with the same settings, the green (DAC+) light did not come on. Switching back to the DAC+ choice for I2S, I got a green light and the "on sound" but then the light goes out. Have rewritten the SC card a few times, and rebooted a few dozen. Any thoughts? suggestions? Do I need to purchase another DAC+? I've never had these problems with the BBB/UPnP system Chris suggested a few months ago. It sounds great. Would like to get my RPI/DAC+ up and running as well. - David
  4. I would like to thank Chris, Richard and K-Man for all their contributions to this fantastic project, and all of the members that contributed questions. These questions (and the answers) helped me assemble my BBB system successfully: and I am thrilled with the result. My system is modest: WesternDigital MyBookLive as my NAS, the BBB and a Twisted Pear Buffalo II DAC, and remote is via MPDroid on my Samsung Galaxy SIII. Streaming radio is also supported (much to my delight). Launching ncmpc and in the playlist screen I typed <a> for add and then the URL of the audio stream (not the website of the radio). For the jazz station in Denver, Colorado (KUVO) I entered: http://kuvo-ice.streamguys.org:80/kuvo-aac-64.m3u - then I hit <return> and scrolled down to the entry and <return> again: bingo. I also hit <S> to save the collection of URLs as a playlist. This shows up on my Samsung. Still can't believe how cool this is. Sometimes I fail to discover the actual URL of the radio station stream. In iTunes, choosing 'get info' from with a radio station highlighted sometimes yields an workable URL but sometimes it does not. Regardless I've collected a dozen or so. Super fun! - David
