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!

kulafu Seasoned Member Posts: 207	Re: Dummies Guide to Pi2AES! Reply #3 - 06/03/21 at 14:28:09 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. Bob

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.
