fritzg Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Well, I bought an ifi iPower for use with this streamer. A nice improvement. Makes me wonder if the power supplies in these streamers really are the critical pieces. Is the Sonore MicroRendu only something special because of hate high end power supplies that are used with it?

Richard Dale Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Well, I bought an ifi iPower for use with this streamer. A nice improvement. Makes me wonder if the power supplies in these streamers really are the critical pieces. Is the Sonore MicroRendu only something special because of hate high end power supplies that are used with it? I've got a couple of Beagle Bone Blacks that I use as NASs rather than streamers, and I power them with iFi iPowers. I use Raspberry Pis as streamers to drive USB DACs and power those with iFi iUBS3.0 Nanos as the Nanos can both power the Pis and clean up the USB output going into the DACs. I think it is a really cost effective combination. Maybe not quite as good as a MicroRendu (I've never heard the MicroRendu), but then it is less than half the cost.

fritzg Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 is there a way to regulate the power usage in the BBB a la the reports in this article for the Pi? Link to comment
dikkiedirk Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks for this nice piece of software. I used it daily playing files from my Asset UPNP server through an iFi iDSD portable DAC connected to my Yamaha amp. I experience a little trouble though, gapless playback seems broken. On MP3 as well as Flac files. Is there a fix for this or perhaps a change in configuration? Link to comment
fritzg Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Seems the latest build for either RoonCore or RoonBridge broke my BeagleBone Black. Every time I try to play music the Zone drops for about 15 seconds and then come backs. The BeagleBone works fine as a UPnP device and Roon works fine to other endpoints. Logs show a (502) bad gateway error. It was a nice run with this little baby, but looks like it may be done. Link to comment
