hello, I was going through some things, trying to clear out some space and become more minimal since quitting my job and taking some time off, I sent the Pi 3 to Jeff Starr, and the Meridian DAC 2 to Ivan303. I wish both of them luck with that. And look forward to helping Jeff with it, Ivan seems to have the same reaction I did to the Meridian, which is "meh".
I found additionally under my bed a RASPBERRY PI 1 MODEL B. Is that still relevant for anything? I remembered buying it in 2011, and if I recall correctly it couldn't play FLAC over USB. Does anyone have any real world use cases for that old machine?
For example I like listening to podcasts, I'm sure I can figure it out but was wondering before I look if anyone was using this older model.
thanks in advance for any help.
Follow Ups:
For what it is, a small, cheap (relatively) USB powered DAC, it sounds pretty good even without an MQA coded file to decode.
As far as the MQA Master stuff on TIDAL, it's QUITE good. Haven't had the time to do the Apples to Apples comparison as my DAC/Headphone amp requres a bit of fidddling to go from Meridian DAC with MQA decoding in the DAC to Audio-GD DAC with MQA decoding in TIDAL.
without any content what good is MQA? Listen to the same Bjork album over and over?
We have to see how this pans out, it did sound "good" to me, but not enough to make me spend $30k for top of the line meridian.
Nn
Meridian Ultra DAC is $23k
In regard to Bjork, yeah what that 1 MQA album on Tidal, yes worth $23k, and don't forget the Black Sabbath self titled too, so it is a bargain.
I use mine everyday in my Backroom shop.... I mostly listen to Liberal internet radio.BTW - Yesterday, I just loaded the latest release of PiCorePLayer on it.

Thanks for the recommendation for that player.
I listen to interesting shows where the guys interview authors of books, legalize freedom is one. These guys out there are all good. I am politically agnostic myself.
I had to quit my job because I couldn't deal with the fact that political advertising was supporting me. Made me vomit every morning.
And soon all of your internet history will be up for sale.

Internet history up for sale.....Porn, News, Porn, Audio Asylum, Porn, Amazon, Porn.
Not worth much.
But I get your point, we all knew this was coming in the back of our minds and we all know worse is yet ahead too.
As we can see, ignoring it won't make it go away.
what are you guys talking about really?this history is all known that's the purpose of the internet, that's why they gave it to us.
the goal is to remove any dissidents, eventually by force.
Or not assuming one can continue to feed the system. TAX
I don't like the fact that we kill people overseas to get resources for corporations.
I haven't voted in 12 years.
be good guys, let's not get this deleted.

Thats why I said its going to get worse.
Everybody knew this was coming and I really believe we all know the real purpose for the interNET, yet some people choose to think otherwise.
The erosion of Freedom has been gradually going on for a very very long time, since before we were born.
Political stuff aside, enjoy your freedom from corp America...hope you can find a way not to go back
I want a Federal Job next, I feel a duty to help the country :)
You got my vote!!
you got to be what we used to call at work batshit insane to want that job, too much travel and it doesn't pay enough :)

Yeah you have a point...POTUS's do turn grey quick
As for myself and wifey, the plan is to go back to Japan. I feel like Carlito in the movie Carlito's Way. Just need to save up a little more and we are out...unfortunately Carlito died before he could reach his dream.:-(
So what area of Gov are you thinking about?
I am thinking Census, I have lots of experience with big data.
Will that require you to move to a different part of the country.
Sounds like something you can do remotely from home.
Sometimes a change of environment is good.
I got no clue, I am good maximum for 1 year with no job, I am still trying to recover from the corporate PTSD.
be good,
Do you need a Pi 1 model B? I feel sad you didn't win the contest for the Pi three. Send me a note if you want it you have my email I can ship it out this week.

ok thank you. I am warming up a spinach calzone, i appreciate you.
please let us help Jeff Starr should he have questions about the pi 3,
You can help me old buddy. Assembled the hifiberry3 in 10 minutes. Things are looking up. Figured out how to burn SD card and embed Volumio software. Then all goes to Hell. Cannot get Volumio software back on Mac to continue. Fuck all of this. Way too Geekoid. Fortunately I Fedexed the Sonos Connect this morning and Greensboro is a hub. Will be at Wyred 4 Sound Monday morning. I see you and the rest here setting up RP and I must have missed something. Are y'all tech school grads or Navy enlisted guys. RP is way above my pay grade

I think he needs our help, he gave up too quick!
All he needs to do is ask..... and have some patience.... Load PiCorePLayer and a couple questions and you're done in less than a hour or so.
Cut-Throat
I'm guessing we are DIY types. I warned others, lots of reading involved,
That is a great little dependable machine, I am listening to the modded Sonos now, what a wonderful system. You'll love it.
Will do.
