Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Most of my music listening is done via the various streaming services....

Right now that requires a laptop computer hooked via USB to my Audio-GD DAC/Headphone amp.

I have a Ethernet Jack right next to my favorite chair in the living room and would like to un-couple my laptop from the DAC, even not use it for music streaming at all.

Any of the low-cost streamers will do this including the now discontinued Squeeze Box Touch. Turns out the Raspberry Pi box with a HiFiBerry S/PDIF board attached can do this as well, be controlled by the same software, Logitech Media Server and costs about $100 and is so simple EVEN IVAN CAN DO IT!

OK, had some help from inmate 'bullethead' along with encouraged and discouragement from others who post here.

Seem to work OK so far.




First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
