Hey Dudes?
I recently developed an
obsession interest in streaming audio devices as my Logitech Squeezebox is getting a bit old and I was looking for a replacement. Its an interesting area of hobbying, as long as you steer clear of too much of the "Audiophile" guff.
I started out with max cheapness and turned my very old (and largely useless now) Raspberry Pi Model B into a streaming device with dedicated DAC using a
Crappy £12 addon board from ebay.
I then bought a Raspberry Pi 3 and a
HifiBerry DAC plus to use in the kitchen, sounds nice. They both run
Volumio, which is nice and doesn't require any backend / server software. This setup sounds really nice through my Kitchen Hifi :
And now, I am trying to improve my very bad soldering skills and am building a
CMoy headphone amp. My soldering is very bad, so I am probably going to have problems - but its all for the learning experience tbh :
I wince at my own soldering every time I look at that photo
An RPi Hifiberry DAC can be bought super cheap second hand on ebay now and they make pretty cool streamers with very decent sound quality for much cheapness.
