I was kidding, I'm not so sad (just a bit), only very impatient to test it. My project is to build a high-end Squeezebox based on a BBB with Russ hardware and Squeezelite software.
Thank you, Russ.
Congrat for your good job !
Is there a message somewhere which summarize the different possible configurations (i.e. : with these clocks, you can handle those bitrates, etc) ?
Pascal

Thank you! Brian and Miero deserve a good bit of the credit too.
With 22mhz 24mhz clocks you can do up to 192khz - the clocks need to double as sample rates double. 🙂
Cheers!

We have opened up orders again since this boards I am ordering will be arriving about the same time the first batch is being built the delivery date for the second batch will be a bit later (check the site) to give Brian time to build each batch.
Any chance of a BOM in the near future, since there is the offering of the lone Hermes-BBB boards?
Yes - there will be a BOM on the site soon. Actually all of the PCB design files will be public too once we figure out where we want to put them. 🙂
Just for you to wire them up. 🙂 There are two I2C headers - one is isolated (normally used for controlling a DAC) and one shares common GND from the BBB (for things that don't connect to the DAC - like a display, port expander, etc).
I mean I2S' BCLK and LRCLK, to slaves. If I enable the other channels (only need 1, maybe 2, of 4, for DAC use), will the clocks be going out regardless of audio data, as a way to do it?
My mistake - for some reason my tired brain read I2C instead of I2S. 🙂
I2S is I2S you will treat it (Cronus) like any other I2S source. There are two PCM channels per data signal and you have up to 4 data signals - so 8 channels. You will want to use an 8 channel DAC if you want to use all 8 channels, or rig up your own signal distribution scheme.

Woot! I just got TIDAL streaming to my BBB/Cronus combo (as a DLNA renderer) with lossless flac!
Ahh OK thanks.
Just checked prices. $20 per month in the US, but £20 per month in the UK. Typical.

Pretty easy too - I just used BubblePNP

What I'm looking to do is have it mix a digital input. At a minimum, it looks like will require a Metronome (also an input, but PC to I2S out I already have several options for), output slaved to the shared I2S, and possibly a MiniDSP Ministreamer also slaved (that may require an extra S/PDIF conversion, instead, though), to provide the input to ALSA, matched to the current output (being digital to digital, jitter should only be a real issue at the Metronome input).
The BBB itself just has one set of clock lines shared by all 4 data channels. Can very close daisy chaining be done without causing problems (like just enough room to fit an earthed metal plate in between them, stacked)? If so, any particular needs, as far as the cabling goes (I see twisted 28+ga, and tiny antenna coax used a lot, for example)?
Finally high quality streaming is getting available for us demanding audiophiles!
Would it be possible to integrate a tidal/deezer elite client on the miero distribution? Just like spotify on volumio?
Regards,
Supersurfer: here is the generic scheme for answering similar questions
Q1) does it work on desktop Linux?
Q2) does it work also without graphical user interface on desktop Linux?
Q3) can it be controlled remotelly?
Q4) is there someone who has time to program/setup/integrate this?
For Spotify: there is either Mopidy (MPD alternative with Spotify support) and also SqueezeOnArch player should IMHO support it
For Tidal/Wimp: Even the Q1 is not reliably satisfied (if playing using google-chrome)
