You're right - I must have gotten my links mixed up.
This one: https://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-78...rd_wg=IFUJj&psc=1&refRID=9CJJ4W5G6Y7T41N62Y8T
Do you want me to send you one? Adafruit have them and I have your address.
Edit: no they don't 🙁 anywhere else in the US sell them?

Hi Mike,
That would be great. I have an IQaudIO Pi-DACZero ready for testing 🙂 The W is gonna be a hot seller so best of luck finding "in-stock".
My address has changed so shoot me an email and I'll give you the new one.

intermittent stutter on wifi with flac
I am enjoying RPi0 + PhatDac and sounds wonderful. I have USB stick with flac files mounted on my wifi router with latest moodeaudio.
It occasionally skips and I have tried buffer size to 16384, and buffer size before play to 30%, but still stutters. I have a fast fiber optic network and I am wondering if there is any more settings I should try.
I am wondering if my USB stick with 128G is too slow??
thanks,

Hi,
Could be an I-O bottleneck in Router file sharing service.
I use a Pi3 + USB attached SSD connected to my Router via Ethernet for music NAS and no issues whatsoever. I just run Moode (moodeOS) on it for convenience and not a special NAS OS.

Hi,
I have a Pi3 + hifiberry dac+pro. Sound is good, but the board is not fully populated and I need headphones output.
Someone can help me with the missing parts, like U5, or schematic ?
Thanks.

Really what is the point of buying the Zero W to save a 'couple of bucks' when somebody is going to stick a DAC on it!? And you need to do some soldering for crying out loud
A Pi3 is not exactly big! The world has truly gone mad, don't support it man! 😉
Hi Tim,
No WiFi with stock 3.1, but works after that rpi-update.
Still clocked at 700MHz instead of 1GHz, though.
Attached - pre- and post- rpi-update dmesg outputs.
In the first case, I pugged in a WiFi dongle at the end...
Second case was updated kernel, not a dongle in sight.
Cheers,
Phil
I have a really small psu housing in an old 1940s Bakelite radio. Fitting the pi3+ switch mode psu + dac + amp was difficult, the Pi W makes things a lot easier.
Whatever you need to get it done, I guess.
For home I'm sold on the pi3 + IQ Audio dac's
Forgot to say I used
sudo rpi-update 52241088c1da59a359110d39c1875cda56496764
in my test.
Cheers,
Phil
Sadly I've never been to NZ but over here the psu 'body' for a micro-usb device attaches to the wall socket, it doesn't live inside a wooden box 😛
One man doesn't make a market; my advice to Tim stands 😉
Hi Phil,
Ah that explains it 🙂 When I looked at both dmesg dumps I saw
wlan0: link becomes ready

Hi Phil,
Thanks so much for this test! I was hoping that a kernel bump would provide the necessary support for the Zero W's WiFi adapter.
For 3.5 release timing-wise I may not be able to get 4.4.50 Advanced kernels made so only the Standard kernel will support ZeroW built in WiFi.
More to come.

Grrr... the only place in the US with stock charges more for shipping than the board costs. Seriously, $12 to post a tiny box...
SparkFun charge less than that to ship a small box full of bits to SE Asia
You're going to have to wait until the less usurious outlets have stock.
Not sure if the update below works with our kernels, or not.
"firmware: platform: Treat Pi0W like Pi0 w.r.t. clocks and voltages"

Hi Phil,
I think thats in the new 4.9 branch which is really a WIP at this point and not very stable. I think the only option at this point is 4.4.50 which worked on your 0W integrated WiFi and is looking good on my end.
