But I figured out a more simple way , I just connected the Boss to my power and Ethernet connection I have to my USBridge!
When I could open the app I have to my iPad for Volumio, connect my wifi dongle to my network and making the setup for Spotify, NAS, Air Play etcā¦
So now Iām having music in my bedroom as well .
It was simpler to just move back to v155. I just flashed it on the Micro SD card. Shairport is now working fine !
I could not locate v156 though - the non-GUI version. Maybe the problem is some incompatibility between the GUI and Shairport - so Iām not keen to try that.
Iāll stick to v155 as the upgrade will again corrupt Shairport. I could do an experiment to just upgrade Shairport to the latest version. Will this command do the trick?
It appears you are running WiFi connection on the device. Please can you change this to hard wired LAN and re-test Youtube + Shairport stability?
We believe WiFi instability/performance may be a factor in the issue you are experiencing. We highly recommend hard wired Ethernet/LAN on the device, to ensure stable audio streaming experience.
Hi @Gurpreet_Kohli
Like @Dan_Knight is writing, so shall you avoid to using WIFI on all āimportantā device.
Not only on music products but all important things, when itās coming to hifi, surround systemā¦
Because as @Dan_Knight saying: hard wired Ethernet/LAN on the device, to ensure stable audio streaming experience.
Itās so easy that WiFi is just missing a little, little bit of connection to the source and the problem is a fact!
Okay this can happen with hard wired Ethernet/LAN, but if you have a good/great Router and using at least cat6 ethernet cables and a good switch.
So is it more stable than WiFi every day in a week, and if itās getting you some kind of problem itās showing on your hole network system!
Okay Iām using the Allo WiFi dongle myself for the moment, on my Allo/Rpi Boss player and Dac, but itās only because I havenāt put in my network to my bedroom yet! There Iām using the Boss and amp to getting music, itās working great for the moment, okay itās taking a little more time to get it to starting up and if Iām making some changes, but itās working. Iām using Volumio on my Boss player/dac, I havenāt used it before but Iām surprised that it can do! If I want to play music from Roon I only have to run the Core on my computer. So does it play music from Roon, TIDAL over Air Play and if I close my computer. So can I play music from Spotify and my NAS, web radio!
DSD music files from my NAS are working and sounds incredible great , well everything works and sounds incredible great.
Much better than I thought and itās easy to setup and use, the Volumio app for iPad and iPhone is also great .
But I now that it will work and sounding better when I have put in my network there, and itās hard wired Ethernet/LAN on the device, to ensure a much more stable audio streaming connection.
So use only WiFi if you donāt have any hard wired Ethernet/LAN in the room, until you get your hard wired Ethernet/LAN Network on place to the device, to ensure stable audio streaming.
Okay, many people or some are saying that itās no difference between WiFi or Bluetooth against hard wired Ethernet/LAN on the device, to audio streaming!
But itās depends on what quality of products and sound, people are satisfied with and itās like everything else! A matter of taste and if they who claiming it are satisfied with it itās fine for me .
I hope that the hard wired Ethernet/LAN on the device, to ensure stable audio streaming experience, solve your problems.
Thanks for your inputs. The community on Roon has really been helpful!
Actually, iāve had no issues with the Allo wifi dongle so far. Works like a charm with Roon.
My issues only started with V157 (Allo GUI version) and that too only for Shairport.
Iām now using V155. Everything works (but no Allo GUI - but frankly, i can live without it) - esp Roon and Shairport.
On ethernet, I have multiple rooms and i cannot lay cables all over the house. So, i need a wifi solution. I would rather change the software which works well with wifi - Roon is really stable with all Dietpi versions. And with V155, i have a stable Shairport link too.
I do want to upgrade to the latest Dietpi version and so, will keep evaluating how to get Shairport to work with V157.
Itās so little and I like to share my experience, to people who want it .
When you describe how you have it at your house, so does I understand why you using WiFi!
But as I wrote itās more stability with Ethernet cables, but if you have a great/good router and extenders that is covering your hole house!
So you donāt have any blindness that makes your WiFi signals, loosening anything between your different extenders, so rather to many extenders than to few . So you get full internet power to each of your WiFi dongles! I think itās possible to buy a special device that makes so you can check, if you have any weakness on some spot and itās not expensive! Check with your internet provider (the company that you get your internet from), if they can come home to you and check it out!
But ask them how much they take for that service!!! So can you compare that is the cheapest way, you can always talk with your friends or work colleges and if they donāt have any equipment for it, well maybe they now someone else that can help you out with it .
But honestly ābetween you and meā well everyone else can read it as well but I donāt care!
A update version of a product, shouldnāt make things that work great before stop working so āwe users shall have to make a lot of different things, so itās working againā. But itās my opinion on stuff like this !
Hi Jacob,
I have it myself, the Allo USBridge not the Dragonfly!
But I have the Meridian Explorer 2, thatās also needs power and I havenāt had any problems with it.
So itās shall working just fine.
Are you intended to use power to the USBridge and Sparky, each to one another?
I have tried and testing the USBridge in many different ways, and Iām getting better sounding by only feeding the USBridge with power and itās feeding sparky. Itās not so important if the āJ28ā jumper are on place or removed!
But if you have ordered one extra 5V PSU, so try to use both and listen to thatās configuration works and sounds best for you!
If you shall use a ifi 5V PSU do only use it, or if you have any other PSU.
I use the Allo PSU and some Entreq products, so my Allo USBridge works perfectly and sounds amazing. I have compared it with both the microrendu and the ultrarendu, but my Allo USBridge sounds much better .
Good luck with your Allo USBridge itās cheaper than many other products, but itās working perfectly and sounds amazing!
So itās just have a great price, but itās not working or sounding cheap itās the other products whoās, having a way to high price!
The Mytek Brooklyn natively supports DSD256. So is it the case that the DietPi/USBridge and the Mytek are not compatible at this sample rate? And, will the USBridge passthrough MQA unhindered?
One of our customers is testing the 256 DSD with the latest release. On previous releases there was some type of noise at 256 native DSD with the Mytek Brooklyn.
How do I update?
Please check the web interface > System settings page to update your system.
NB: DietPi only checks for new updates once daily. If the update is not showing as available, you can force a recheck by rebooting the system.
Thanks Johan, I appreciate this. I will hold off purchasing the USBridge for now. But Iād be interested in hearing more about the compatibility issue with the Mytek Brooklyn. I am currently outputting DSD256 via. a microRendu to the Brooklyn without issue.
Like Johan @allo.com
Wrote so is MQA working perfectly with the USBridge .
I donāt have the Brooklyn yet, unfortunately!
And I only have DSD 128 music and my DAC doesnāt take higher anyway, so I havenāt had the possibility to try it!
But the Allo USBridge is absolutely great and I never have heard or noticed any dropouts etcā¦
