why don't boot anymore??

Hi Hurka

 

 Can you PM me your email ? I will send you instructions on how to properly flash and configure both Volumio and DietPI.

[allo.com]

Yes possible...but should be the other way arround. Sparky needs more current (A) and USBridge needs less A but quiet power. Please refer to manual on how to do that.

[allo.com]

How many A can your power bank deliver ? Sparky needs almost 2.1A on booting

[allo.com]

Yes. Max 5.5v

[allo.com]

Then yes

[allo.com]

That looks impressive.

 USbridge can do wifi (with a WIFI dongle) and dlna/upnp is available under dietpi

Hello

 

I just received my usbridge and a sparky. I have too a urendu.

 

And I no hear the difference. Perhaps more define with the usbrdge. With the urendu, I connect an HD Plex 5V - 9 V.

 

I have one issue with usbridge. How to open the J28. In my house, I have a battery for 5V. So I want to try supply energy with the allo psu for the usbridge and the battery for the sparky with usb. But I don't find any picture to explain me, the open position and the closed position. So I see the allo community manager read this feeds, I hope a respond.

 

I based in France near Paris so excuse my us non style.

 

I will post the review when I can compare the urendu and the usbridge with 2 energy input.

 

Best regards

Here you go.

Please refer to Kali manual. Jumper is to feed (or not) SBC

32/64 bit does not matter .

LAN is best.

Noise on USB ports was measured using an oscilloscope . I will try to see if we have the captures.

A new patch was successfully  applied to let many DACs play native DSD. We should release the new image next week (Monday/Tuesday)

Can you tell me if you're talking about noise on the power or data line?

I am talking about noise on the power.

 Regarding noise on the differential data signal  (d+ and d-) thats also filtered for common mode noise.

[allo.com]

Patch was applied , Amanero board connected and shows 256/512  DSD ready.

 

 We are testing the audio quality up to 256 today. (limit of our DAC) and will report back

[allo.com]

DSD playing native at 256 using an Amanero combo + generic 9018 DAC.

 

  Preparing the image , we will release it soon.

[allo.com]

Another short update, we are also fixing a few bugs in the new release (like losing network connection once in a while )

 

   Dan and our team are working on it.

[allo.com]

We will make it as painless as possible...if you are unable to do it we will ship free SD cards with the updated image.

Hi,

 

  we are working as fast we we can on the new image . A real team effort .

 

    Dan has updates the OS to Stretch . We are turning off the GPU for less noise and power requirements . DSD patch was applied .

 

Please have a bit more patience , we want to do it right.

Great!  Looking forward to trying this.  Thanks for the quick response to making this happen!  

This is also great news as I've had this issue very intermittently and was on my action item list.  Glad to hear I can cross it off.  

 

Will the update auto update?

 

  No autoupdate , sorry , since the OS has changed

 Usbridge will work with any LANs. LMS is installed on USBridge not your MAC.

 

 So yes usbridge will work on your setup.

Thanks for the breakdown.

 

The $10 question for me is if I can run both LMS and Squeezelite with Diet Pi on the USBridge without it needing to be on my computers which don't support the latest LMS.

 

If anyone knows for sure, please chime in.

Yes you can run both LMS and Squeezelite in USBridge .
