@spockfish do you have any advice / experience about how many Roon endpoints can be safely connected to a RoPieee running on a Pi4?
I’ve been running a Pi with an allo DigiOne and two USD dacs connected for a couple of months which has worked perfectly.
I have another Pi4 with a an Allo DigiOne Signature which has also has a USB DAC which was running fine, but connecting a second USB DAC it wa producing pops every few seconds. Switching DAC and cable didn’t make a difference, but connecting to another Pi and the pops went away.
All the DACs are musical fidelity v90s.
The DigiOne Pi is a Pi4B 1.4 with 2G ram, the Signature is a Pi4B 1.1 with 1G ram.
I’ve had two separate ropieees with two separate usb endpoints for some time, but they are different brands/models. I had issues using two of the same cheap SPDIF devices with ropieee, but I think that was because they are a cheap generic and it never seemed to create a second endpoint at all (but both work fine on separate ropieees and a third on a minipc).
On a more serious note: this is asking a lot from the Pi: keep in mind that asks 3 times the bandwidth when playing to the 3 of them simultaneously…
One more thing: your logs show some network activity every 2.5 minutes… do you have a very short DHCP lease or something like that? Never seen that before.
Thanks Harry, I’d assumed that was the case but good to have confirmed. Both my Pi3 and Pi4 cope just fine with two running simultaneously (wired of course)
The family was away this weekend and I had a day straight of streaming to 11 zones (including the 2 shared Pis) while I pottered about the house doing stuff
Side note, I now need to reboot the bedroom pi because I can’t switch the display back to the correct zone (after it auto-swiched when I grouped it with others).
