oh yeah...'s lookin good, many thanks for that Chris... I've been listening all day, particularly like all the beeb 320 streams... the sq seems to have improved but that may be psychobabble cos it's exactly the same DAC as before except, but what I didn't notice was that all the other options in the...

hairshirt is about right.... I finally got some sound out of the pi at 11:30 pm(that's nearly 6 hours of grief, which shows you just how out of touch I am, not sure how 1st timers would cope)...the next big hurdle was configuring the output device to match the behringer usb dac....in my book it's kn...

this is what worked for me...I really don't understand this, and I've spent hours searching for some clue this afternoon...

sassenfrassencursinclaudehopper.......gee maw fetch ma gun.

many thanks Simon...I was going to put the damned thing in the bin.....you're right it makes no sense at all, but it works!

I received the last item in the great chain saga for introducing a pi3 and picoreplayer..it was 3amp power supply with usb micro plug..doh! anyway...I've spent the last 3 hours trying to get the damned thing to work: 1.downloaded and installed picoreplayer and booted the pi 2. loaded squeezelite 3. ...

has anybody got a virgin PAYG sim? I have, and got an email this morning to say they're changing the deal.... it says ...you get up to 200 minutes per day for £2...that's the min charge..if you make 1 call for 2 minutes it's still £2 if you use more than 200 minutes in a day then it reverts to 1p pe...

I had this when I was making speakers: https://www.sipuk.co.uk/sip-01489-14-two-speed-band-saw-1000w.html although if memory serves it was 2hp and it had a stand with a cabinet in it, although that's deffo the same model number. It was a brilliant machine and I was sad to let it go. A word to the wi...

has anybody got a feel for the best value subscription service?
is the amazon music unlimited any good?

my bad...there is deffo midi on the 1820..must have had a senior moment when I last looked.

thanks..I will definitely consider it again cos it looks like it's got identical capability to the echo i/f.

If you are using a USB DAC then just connect the Pi to the DAC via USB and don't bother with the extra DAC. Unless you want to spend more money. yeah but no but yeah...I was thinking the behringer dac is getting very old now and it was super budget when I bought it. Wouldn't one of the newer dacs b...

caution to the wind..what a little tinker.... I ordered a pi 3 yesterday. will buy a hat dac to go with it...been looking at hifiberry dac+ or iqaudio are there any recommendations for a hat dac(budget)? I currently run the BBB and behringer usb dac off a linear supply I knocked up with lt1083. I'm ...

OT Chris, apologies have you got or used an 1820? I looked at it a while back as a replacement for my echo layla 3g, which is getting a bit long in the tooth and the phantom power has gone down. I got the bits to fix it from echo but never got round to fitting them. The reason I didn't follow up on ...

thanks Simon... I did a bit of research yesterday and it seems that picoreplayer now contains jivelite which is the goto screen support for pi so I don't think there is any setup shenanigins to be followed for this....... I could just get a pi and use my netbook as I am at present and just add cosme...

Most of my music listening these days is via streaming radio, although, as you can see, I haven't looked at the BBC for a while. Most of my listening has been Paradise lately. Looks like I'll have to get a bit more up to date. I'm currently looking at a Pi3 B+ with a 7" screen and some kind of DAC p...

looks the bizz Mark, you should be good to go with something like audiotester v3.0. it's very similar to my other system which I used with an acer I5 laptop for outside measurements: ls measure1.jpg it's a steinberg UR22 with a presonus PRM1. This also will be on ebay shortly. The UR22 setup is good...
