Title: Dummies Guide to Pi2AES!
Post by funch on 03/25/20 at 04:26:44

If there's anyone like me who is completely clueless to the coolness of the Raspberry Pi, here's an article that I followed to set one up for audio.

+1 on this.  It replaced my bluesound node 2i for streaming Qobuz, Spotify and Tidal.  Dummies like me were able to follow the instructions.  It is so versatile and I am currently using it with Denafrips Pontus II using all sources going to it. The best part is that is very affordable!

Take a look at allo.com, pi based system. Plug and play with operating system of your choice. I have used digione streamer, which is very good for the money spent.

Agree.  Any Pi based streamer are a great value and IHMO great SQ.  As a newbie, I was somewhat hesitant but it was really easy to set up. I am currently using Volumio with no issues thus far and may be venture into RoopieXL in the not too distant future.

Thanks for posting. I've been using an old Windows 7 netbook to play hirez files via USB and I just started thinking about replacing with something pi based.

Very nice!

I just tried booting my netbook with Volumio and didn't like it nearly as much as Foobar2000. My "problem" is that my music is organized as a directory structure and my impression is most software wants to organize it all in a database. You can access the files directly in Volumio, but it isn't as easy as Foobar. I have no love for Windows but the more I look around the Piverse the more it looks like it might be my best option.

Sadly the Pi2AES is no longer available, but Michael has an all-in-one unit in the works.
