Stream music from daphile to AirPlay device
Hi, I finally got shairtunes working and with it, I can stream music from an iOS device to my daphile devices via AirPlay. Is it also possible to stream from daphile to an AirPlay device? Hopefully from the daphile web ui. Thank you.

Daphile on USB Stick
Can somebody explain me exactly how can I manage to get an installation on a USB-Flash which is possible to update via Web UI?

I would use unetbootin as suggested from the daphile website. You can add there the ISO image, select the relevant stick and et voila it's ready. The installed stick is able to get updates.

I found myself asking if the AK4399 DAC is working on daphile?

Thanks!

The main USB interface chip there is PCM2706.
I would be shocked if the Linux kernel does not have support for PCM2706. That's all that matters. Linux doesn't care what happens to the signal after that.
By the way, if you plan to use that board through the USB interface, your max sampling rate will be limited to 48K buy the PCM2706 (regardless what DAC chip comes later in the chain).

You would be better to buy an AK4399 DAC board with I2S input and then a separate USB-SPDIF-I2S board (XMOS or CM6631A). Then connect them together via I2S. You can buy both these boards on ebay for about the same price as the one you linked to.

Daphile likes it.
Regarding DAC boards, there are many at different price points. If you are interested in AK4399, you could try this one: AK4399 I2S Decode Board Operational AMP NE5532 Encoder Board FOR Amplifier DIY | eBay
There are several other that are almost identical but with different opamps. Most of the opamps are probably fake. I have a selection of opamp "samples" direct from the manufacturers that I can try in various boards.
If you want to try ES9023, here is one that I have just ordered: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/24Bit-192KHz...Ultra-Low-Noise-Regulator-24192-/331188401465 Time will tell if it is any good.
The sky is the limit. Once you have USB-to-i2s, you can just get more DAC cards with i2s input and keep trying them. It is very important to provide all these boards with a good clean supply of power, of course.

PCM5102 DAC with i2s input. I might try one of these, too. Assembled PCM5102 DAC Decoder I2S Player 32bit 384K Beyond ES9023 OR PCM1794 | eBay
This might be fun to try, too. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/DAC-NOS1-Non-Over-Sampling-DAC-TDA1543T-I2S-Input-/331064227245

Hi Siginitz,
the USB stick where you want to permanently install Daphile needs to be completely empty. Meaning not even formatted!
You can completely erase a USB stick in Computerverwaltung / Laufwerke under Windows. Afterwards the USB stick is listed in Daphile as installable device.
Just did it a few days ago.
PM me if you have problems if you want 😉

Dave,
Sorry for the very long delay in replying.
For some reason, I'm not getting notified of new messages on this thread even though I keep subscribing.
Thanks very much for your help.
I'm up and running now.

Hi, thanks a lot! I managed it, I used diskpart from win 7 ( it is hidden in win 7) to make an unformatted USB-Stick. Then used win 32 disk imager for installation on another stick. worked fine!
Question: do you know of an Wifi-USB Stick compatible with daphile

WiFi USB Stick
Hi,
for those who are searching for a compatible WiFi USB stick, I today found one by accident who works fine as wifi, also as AP. Without any problems!
Test it: Fritz!WLAN Stick N
Cheers

For the first time in many, many months, I am considering going back to a default Mint installation and using Clementine (with Android remote app). Why? Well, I often find myself frustrated with some things in Daphile. Lack of availability of plugins is one of them. Then there is the fact that Daphile relies so heavily on tags. If something is not correctly tagged, it simply doesn't show up in the list. There is a file/folder browser mode, but it is slow and cumbersome.
I really like many aspects of Daphile, but I think I need to switch things up to remind me why I deal with these frustrating things.

Certainly not! Sorry if my post gave place to missinterpretation. I just wanted to share my experience for those who want to connect to Daphile through a wireless adapter or an access point. I have tried many WiFi USB adapters without success, therefore my post.

working usb nic on daphile
I have found from my experience, not that it is extensive, but at least 3 usb wireless dongles are recognised and work with Daphile. They are;
(a) D-Link DWA-123 version A1; I think. Note that this is not the current model.
(b) Aztech WL552USB
(c) Aztech WL562USB

Hi,
I couldn't find a shop that sells them. It seems that at least in germany they are outdated.

I agree that it is better to fix your tags than try to avoid dealing with them. Beets is another good tool.
