Thinking about adding a #dab+ dongle to my #raspberrypi #hifiberry device which connects to my stereo via rca. Does anyone have experience of this? Chatgpt thinks it's doable with dablin on the command-line.

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!

Kann man mit einem alten #RaspberryPi noch etwas anfangen? Auf einem Gerät der ersten Generation (1 B+) mit höherwertiger #HifiBerry Soundkarte kann über das Webfrontend #Mopidy Musik ausgewählt und über den #Snapcast Server abgespielt werden. Alle Geräte mit dem #Snapclient geben die Musik synchronisiert wieder (Multi Room Audio). Hier ein Test mit drei Geräten, der Speicherverbrauch liegt deutlich unter 100 Mbyte und die Anzahl der Prozesse passt auf einen Bildschirm. Das System basiert auf #Dietpi

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. 😹

It's an adventure to get a #HiFiBerry to work with #MOC. Had to apply a patch to a 9 year old alpha release and compile it myself plus a bunch of other hurdles. I guess it was fun...maybe type 2 fun. Is it beer o clock yet?
