MiniDSP have announced new streamers - SHD series. The include DIRAC processing and also have an ethernet port. Volumio will come installed. Link.
Given that Volumio can be installed I wonder if RoonBridge can be run (I’ve run both RoonBridge and Columio on a Raspberry Pi). If so, might make for an interesting ‘DIY Roon Ready’ streamer?
Haven’t see any pricing yet. MiniDSP forum reply says that they might do a non-Dirac version (which could load FIR filters) but that will depend on demand.
Thanks for that, how does the internal player sound (compared to?)? I had to use a better power supply than supplied, the Meanwell seemed to introduce noise, dimmed the sound.
Is squeezelite working with 24bit? Can you see which local interface squeezelite is sending output to? Maybe if RoonBridge used the same interface…?
EDIT: I followed your link to the minidsp forum and found your posts about it there. Seems RoonBridge needs code tweaking to work with 24bit on Volumio for SHD.
Squeezelite shows no problems with 24-bit. I believe they are using the same interface snd-sun8i-i2s-dac because RoonBridge complained about not being able to access the audio device until I turned off squeezelite.
I’m fine with squeezelite. Don’t tell anyone here but I switch back and forth between LMS and roon.
Thanks! I agree, squeezelite and LMS is great! I used LMS for years before Roon. Main reason I use Roon is convolution. Easier to do room correction in Roon than LMS.
