Hi Michelangeloz
Is Cubieboard3 / Cubietruck implementation within Volumio planned ? There is I2S capability, I do not know if useable. It is priced 96,5 € in France which seems competitive.
Anybody has an experience with this board ?

For udoo user I suggest to use the hidden usb port with your dac.
The connector is in the udoo starter kit but I thing it is avalaible also in udoo shop as single cable.
Pheraps it is only in my imaginary 🙂 but I thing this is the more musically usb port in udoo.

I have a CuboxPro and Cubox-i4.
I am not aware of an I2S output, maybe internally (if you open and break it out).
For sure, there is a TOSLINK (optical S/PDIF) output.
I have tried:
- works but "strange":
- my TOSLINK receiver tells me: "signal with Emphasis" and
- I have to lower the volume drastically (SW Loudness), otherwise just distortions,
audio is not very loud then
BTW:
My Cubox-i4 comes with Android. I do not have found a way to configure TOSLINK audio out. I have installed XBMC for it, works, and I was able to configure once the audio to have TOSLINK working).
To try Volumio on Cubie would be nice.
Best regards

The release for Udoo was ready, then I discovered a bug which required mpd to be recompiled (and for some reasons, it didn't recompile on my dev environment) so it is a little delayed.
After that I'm making the cubietruck porting, which is complete, exept for the kernel which I have to recompile, and throws errors which I have to further investigate...
So sorry pinocchio if I'm making you wait so long... But sure it will be worth it...

Yes, I can confirm this. Also, for a really strange reason, it is the USB port which can be handled by jack audio server in pre-emptive mode...
Maybe if we look at the schematics we can understand why...
Hi mikelangeloz,is that the version for cubietruck will be compatible with Ibox (Allwinner Technology A20 Dual Core) https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ibox-mini-multi-function-single-board-computer
Thank.
Thank.
If you want Volumino to run on other Hardware please send Mikelangeloz the inventor diyAudio - View Profile: mikelangeloz
the original hardware or the amount of money he needs to buy this hardware plus shipping plus other necessary hardware items.
So he can test it on the hardware and build in some tweaks.

+1 too, as well as for other releases incl BBB
For sure multi platform is a challenge for a single man !

the cubietruck onboard DAC is actually really good apparently, this seems the ideal choice for building your own PMP. with 2.5" HDD And battery, one can have 2TB of songs carried around with them.
Tracking down noise sources on a Raspberry Pi | Crazy Audio
I run the Raspberry Pi as a high-end network player directly with Ethernet cable via a power-line adapter.
I was initially a little sceptical, but after I have tested different USB with external Jitterkiller and Isolator on the Laptop, I changed to the Raspbi.
Sounds good. The DAC hardware is also just the finest.
I do not need special drivers, because the DAC has its own controller. Just one input configured as I2S for Raspbi .
There is no problems with Noise, although my quick and dirty measurement set-up is not really beautiful. I was really surprised because I had expected more noise.
The test signal (2 kHz WAV with-1dBFs) was played over the network.

Thought it could be better to continue on a Volumio topic, instead of going on with RaspyFi's one:
