Thanks Supersurfer for the links?
Which is the best oscillator do you think?
I have some boards but I'm not sure if they are the finial version.

Wlowes said it correctly. I only build the 45mhz clock currently. I am waiting for the board for the bigger housing of the 5mhz sc-cut clock from Andrea.
Yes, I have a google account, I do not know if this makes a difference.
Just downloaded your picture and reposted.
Hi guys, finally someone did it! RPI is not needed with this if one wants to stream from computer.

That's a really interesting project. But I would be more interested in a solution that can switch between RPi and USB streamer.
Just hope it works with FifoPi and HATs above it.

So U3 is used only for headphone and SE output? Does that also mean, that U1 and U2 are used only for balanced and not SE output?
Hi iancanada! Please explain, why you did not use Beaglebone Black for your projects?
Balanced uses U1 and U2 only. But SE needs all U1,U2 and U3. That's the standard OP amplifier I/V stage configuration.

Hi Amigo1
Ian will answer your question. FWIW I will offer my perspective on why I moved from BBB to Rpi running FIFOpi. When I started, the BBB seemed like the most elegant solution, as it supported external clocks. Two innovators developed reclocking solutions, (Twisted Pair & ACKO) and Meiro developed drivers. I used it with good results for some time. But there was very little software support, and you really need to be proficient in Linux to support the Meiro distribution. Volumio never kept their BBB version up to date, and it appeared the numbers were with the Rpi. So when I had a hardware issue, rather than struggle to relearn enough Linux to sort it out, I bailed and went to Rpi with FIFOpi. Could not be happier. As a non technical user I find it dead simple and completely reliable. It just works... and the sound is excellent. My take away is, if you have the Linux skills, either are fine. If you do not, the pi is the way to go as there is a huge community of helpful people who are tolerant of non Unix gurus. And, with Ian's FIFO, you get a really flexible platform that allows you to easily swap clocks and it provides LED's that tell you what is going on if there is an issue. I also like the compact form factor with the pi Hat approach.

That would be great. Also if it had spdif input additionality. With toslink input I would connect Chromecast Audio and say goodbye to RPI
at least for Tidal streaming.Ian maybe you could design some I2S switch board. Put it inbetween FifoPi and RPI. With this, one could connect either RPI or whatever I2S source one has. This would cover all users needs, made your FiFoPi platform agnostic and scale up your business

Thank you for your answer!
There is Debian 10.0 2019-07-07 4GB SD IoT image for BeagleBone Black BeagleBoard.org - latest-images and nо need in Volumio now. Moreover, there is new ArchLinux image Support for Botic Linux driver for lazy users

NDK NZ2520SD Oscillators for beaglebone black board
NDK NZ2520SD Oscillators are better!

Yep. That is great I believe like allos Digione signature. My point however is actually to get rid of rpi completelly (use toslink receiver of rpi footprint instead) and then use Chromecast Audio as toslink streamer. With this you get rid of all linux hassle.

Linux distro based on Debian or ArchLinux is a choice for a real audiophile
