It's a friendly tease / critique... change anything in the test volumio and the you'll get invalid audio device... re-imaged at least 5 times from stock to get it working.
I'm an LMS / piCorePlayer -- and sometimes MooDe ('cause it has squeezelite, choice of the advanced kernel, and it is so refined) guy. Never use volumio, so this is my fresh take. The database (Moode/Volumio) being on the pi & having to scan just does not seem like the way to go (IMO) compared to the LMS layout.
The stable volumio may be great!
...and only works on pi2/3 grrrrr -- no piZERO

Driver will be available Monday on our github and we will submit it to mainline.
Meanwhile , please let your Boss burn in for at least 2 days and then listen to it.
Sweet setup you got there. 🙂
We have 2 SMD film caps, the bypass to the analog is film as well.
Hi 🙂
Whats that driver you speaking about? And when will the Boss be avalible On youre EU website ?
Good work, regards; Jesper
We used the supercap because of the Joe Rasmussen thread. First time we fired it up, our team has come back and said that something was wrong , we got too much bass. We checked on AP machine, its not that we had too much bass, its finally we had enough power for the bass not to be distorted/under powered. This is how bass should be. Not some fake booster , just enough electrons.
Thx you Jesper.
We expect to start mass production next weekend. Then it will take 4-5 days to arrive in EU.
Can the boss be combined with the piano 2.1?
I don' t get the master slave thing with i2s... slave devices use the pi's clock
and master devices bring their own? Is that all?
I would like to use the two together to have 2 DSP'ed outputs and one plain output with the same sound source obviously.. is this possible? I2s is one-way, right? Piggyback is possible?
(master) Clock is passed through?

Boss cannot be combined with Piano 2.1. I2s is not one way, can be master and slave. Master DACs send the clocks to RPI and received data. Slave DACs received clocks and data from RPI.
Input data rate
Will The Boss accept (and actually use) 384K input? That's a direction I'm interested in trying. Thanks,

Exciting 🙂... But what is it with the driver? Are you missing some kernel driver (buildin or module) from current ARM kernel???
If i must care to say, best playersolution must be some build around the tinycore distribution, here everything is loaded into RAM so unplugging power means nothing, and makes no harm (picoreplayer uses this distribution). But if one build its own tinycore-player, smaller loadtime (very small!) can be archived 🙂
Jesper.
Thanks...
I was looking at the allo.com website, and didn't find it? ( proberly i have been looking the wrong place 🙂 )
Anyway, i am interessted in compiling it for the tinycore dist.
Jesper.
