Audio_ELF Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Is there any way to make this wifi-capable without hogging up the USB port? It'd be a really nice little music server if it wasn't restricted by ethernet. You could attach it to a Wireless bridge via its Ethernet connection. An Apple AirPort Express works well in this role. Also is there a way I could share [music] files with the BBB and another computer? I don't actually have a NAS so this would be extremely convenient as well. You can set up a Windows Networking share on any Windows or Mac OSX computer. Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The BBB is a computer that connects to a DAC via USB. It's the same concept as the CAPS Lagoon. All storage is on a NAS. This unit doesn't do upnp and doesn't compete with any upnp /DLNA products. The way Chris set up the Beagle Bone Black doesn't make it a UPnP renderer, but you could install different software to allow this (you'd have to Google and research). Equally you could install software to create a Squeezebox compatible renderer. Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience...
