Hey !
I've been a fan of music since my teen years (yeah - that's quite a bit of time ago) and have accumulated quite a bit of audio gear 🙂
After being an early adopter of slimdevices/Logitech squeezeboxes I found that building my own streaming devices was more fun - first with recycled PCs, then mini-ITX boards, and nowadays with low power embedded boards paired with good DACs/soundcards and rotary encoders, oled displays, in self-made metal/wood enclosures, etc.
I've been experimenting with camilladsp, room correction, etc for a while now - still using LMS to stream my collection of albums around the house.
I used to think of myself as an audiophile but this term has become pretty "loaded" - So let's say I simply like good sound; as a down-to-earth EE I appreciate fine gear but I can't stand vastly overpriced 90% marketing snake-oil *phile stuff (hopefully I won't get too much flack for saying this lol!). Good sound is good enough!
Cheers!
