It's been a month since I set up #piCorePlayer with Lyrion Music Server (LMS) on my old Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ with #HifiBerry DAC Pro. Via the digital audio converter, the Pi is then connected to my stereo amplifier.
There's not really anything to look at. It's just a small box with cables in my combined bookcase/record cabinet.
At the same time, it's pretty great. 😍
Since I have no #streaming service subscription, this is a great way to play all the #FLAC and #MP3 files that I received with #record purchases, bought or received from #Bandcamp, and ripped from the CD's that I own. It also connects to Bandcamp, so you can listen to Bandcamp Weekly etc., or radio stations that broadcast online (, too).
Attached to this toot some screenshots of the desktop web version of LMS.
Submitting plays to #ListenBrainz via #WebScrobbler does not seem to work, so when controlling LMS via my laptop there are no scrobbles.
Gibt es jemand bzw. einen Hackspace in der #raspberrypi Bubble, der/dem ich Freude mit einem #hifiberry DAC+ machen kann?
Dann gern dm.
Keine Reseller!
2025, another great year of music.
Onto one more, in 2026!
Digital music played on computer and phone, number of listens recorded via #ListenBrainz
On my to-do list for the upcoming weeks: set up my old #RaspberryPi with #HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro again to listen all of this at home, on my stereo.
Big amp vs mini amp 🙈
From a power perspective it’s no comparison, but the HiFiBerry MiniAmp along with PiCorePlayer lets me use AirPlay 2 to play music which is useful in my office.

A couple of weeks ago I got some of my AV equipment out of storage and set up my old amp and rear surround speakers in my office. The 40lb amp was complete overkill though (9 channels @ 140W) so I decided to replace it with something smaller.
Yesterday my HiFiBerry MiniAmp arrived so today I set it up with a RPi 0W. Sounds great driving the B&W M-1 speakers, and has far more power than I’ll ever use in the office. Really impressed!
Phew, terug van vakantie deed mijn "bakje", een #HiFiBerry met Kodi/OpenElec niks meer.
Gelukkig simpel opgelost met een nieuw geïnstalleerd SD-kaartje en nu kan ik weer bij al mijn muziek, films e.d. 😹
