JoseL Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks Chris! I do not have a NAS and wonder if this device can be configured to be used with just an external USB HD containing the music files, streaming to an USB DAC while being controled with an iPad/iPhone app like the Auralic Aries does. If so, could you or anybody else point out to a link with instructions on how to do achieve that? TIA, JoseL JoseL Link to comment
Account Closed Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Not currently because none of the UPnP servers support sending TIDAL audio to a renderer. If JRiver could integrate TIDAL then it would be game on! LMS 7.9 on server getting Tidal from Ickstream and sending it to the BBB with a Linux version of Squeezelite as player. I use this configuration right now with two Windows computers very successfully and as a bonus Tidal is very stable coming from Ickstream. Just a thought. Link to comment

TIA, JoseL Hi JoseL - of course anything is possible, but the features you're looking for aren't a good match for this specific device ( the way it's setup).

stevem2 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 This is great, Chris. It looks like even a simpleton such as myself could do this as you've made it all extremely easy. If you wanted to connect with a USB dongle, how would you go about configuring it to connect to your network (if, like me, you have no Linux experience)? I suppose you could connect it to a monitor and keyboard but then what? Link to comment

stevem2 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Hi stevem2 - What do mean by USB dongle? Something like this that they sell for use with this unit (it was mentioned in a prior post): UWN200 b/g/n USB wireless adapter | Logic Supply Link to comment

You can SSH into the device and use en editor like nano to make the changes. If this sounds like I'm talking in another language, then you'll need some very detailed instructions. Because I don't have this adapter right now I can't provide those directions in the detail you'll need. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
stevem2 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Fair enough (and yes that is not my native tongue but I get the drift). Thanks Chris! Link to comment
BobSherman Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Chris, Nice project. What are your thoughts regarding sound quality? Did you listen in your main system? regards Bob Link to comment

If JRiver could integrate TIDAL then it would be game on! I have BubbleUPNP installed on an old Android phone as a control point, pointed at my CAPS as the server and a BBB as a renderer and am sending Tidal to my Volumio/BBB/Dragonfly combo ethernet in from a wireless range extender. Working like a charm. Link to comment

TIA, JoseL Assuming you have a computer of some sort; you can utilise this without a DAC running either J.River or another UPnP server - I would recommend Minimserver - on your 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
agillis Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I believe this is how the SOtM sms-100 operates. Yes it is. The SOtM sms-100 also has MPD/DLNA and NAA for HQPlayer. You can select which player is enabled from the web interface. So it has the best of all worlds. agillis Small Green Computer http://www.smallgreencomputer.com/ Link to comment
agillis Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The specs say there is a miniUSB port and a microHDMI port. I assumed that the one on the same side as the LAN port was the HDMI and the one below the USB was the miniUSB. Hard to tell from the photo though. There is a miniUSB port on the BBB but this is a client port. You can attach the BBB to your computer and see what is on the internal flash drive like a USB key. This can not be used like a HOST port to attach a USB device. Use HomePlug or a wifi access point if you want the BBB in a remote location. agillis Small Green Computer http://www.smallgreencomputer.com/ Link to comment

Got the idea to try the Bubble control point from reading a post of TedB's on the Sonore Signature Rendu. Link to comment

rhmmmm Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just wanted to express my appreciation, Chris! I went and bought the parts from MicroCenter (BBB for $49 there, btw) last night, followed the instructions and it works great! Awesome and thank you! Link to comment
