ok cool.... but why should i not build it? did I miss something? that was not the info i signed up for.

@Thatoneguy23906 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely build one. I own multiple different HifiBerry products (Dac+ Pro, Dac2 HD, DAC2 XLR) and they have all sounded great and been fun to build. The HifiBerry / Volumio combo is an excellent combo and a great way to get hifi sound vs easily spending 10-20x more for a pre-built dedicated hifi streaming device.

Clickbait. I come in for the same reason, and nothing being said.

Wondering if you have ever run the pi 4's U sb out ....into your Zen dac2? ...And how that compares to your regular setup? Thanks G.

What du you think about HATs and external DACs? What is your opinion, take a hat with digital outputs and hang it to a DAC or use the USB of the RPI to a higher rated DAC like the SU-1 maybe?

@SeanLozano 2 жыл бұрын

why would you use a 128GB MicroSD card when all you need is about 16GB if that... it's a streamer with a very small OS

I have the same configuration (pi 4 + NAS+ tp-link + volumio 3.xx+ KLH model 5). The sound is fantastic, but Volumio has many cuts and stops ramdomly. I have the last version, but problems going on. The only solution for me now is Jriver Media Center + Volumio (as player), but PC is on. Thanks

@jungtarcph Жыл бұрын

Volumio is so frustrating ! I will try PiCorePlayer that works with Logitech Media Server, because Volumio is so unstable

How does Allo compare to Hifiberry? I have the Hifiberry Digi+ Pro. The Allo devices are considerably more expensive. Although I typically just use the USB out on the Pi4 into my Denafrips DAC.

@audioarkitekts 2 ай бұрын

I would continue using the Denafrips. Those DAC hats are cool but they don’t replace something like the Denafrips

@frankj.mendelson5526 2 жыл бұрын

new to this- I have the Allo digione connected to rpi 4, but the only cables that will connect via Volumio to my DAC are the USB (or HDMI cables). Q- should the 3.5mm cable work from the DigiOne hat? Currently, If I set Volumio to DigiOne it doesn't work. It works w/Volumio showing my DAC (Gustard)- connected via the USB cables. Thanks!

@audioarkitekts 2 жыл бұрын

The Digione has a coax out, use a digital coax cable to your DAC. That should work for you. If you are using USB, you aren't using the DIGIONE, you are using the PI direct.

Yeah I'm on the fence, I'm leaning towards the 3b+ and allo digione, but I'm wondering if it's really worth the extra cash

@G-rig6969 2 жыл бұрын

That's what I did, kept it simple, rpi4b no hats. the audio out of the USB of an RPi 3 was particularly poor due to the shared ethernet and USB bus and thus the Allo SPDIF HATs (and others) do a fantastic job of mitigating those problems.

When connected via Toslink the wifi connection should not be an issue, right?

@audioarkitekts 2 жыл бұрын

Depends if the WiFi connection is creating unnecessary noise. It happens sometimes.

Thanks for a great video. I have a very similar set and would like to know what was the best connection for you to your dacs. I assume you use the spdif and for the zen dac you can only use usb? Do you even need the digi hat if the usb is good quality?

@audioarkitekts 2 жыл бұрын

Many people will go straight through the USB. I feel the Zen Dac is better than any hat offerings out there

@joaquinbarreto9398 Жыл бұрын

How much would I have to spend on the retail side to have an equivalent streamer? First please answer that question and then I can make a decision if this is worth doing. Any thoughts folks???

To play tidal with volumio you have to pay! Volumio is freezing, lagging or died while using…. That's crap! Load libreelec and install. Steering via yatse (free) and tidal via mconnect (free too) and now be happy….

@milanmihajlovic8569 2 жыл бұрын

You need to normalize the sound level between your voice and effects. Your voice is low and the volume of the effects is high. Terribly disturbing to watch video. Need to change the volume every time you stop talking and the music starts because it gets really loud.

Thanks for the hint, tested picore with 1.2+ TB data, worked fine (with the material design), gonna check out Moode next ... guess no point to try out Volumio, since its mostly paid. BTW, do you know a guide to setup my toslink x208 out (from Douk)? Bit lost with all the USB settings in Picore lol...
