Euphony OS w/Stylus player setup and issues thread

[mentt]

I have compared Ephony with Volumio on the same HW and I like sound from Volumio more...

Interesting. Is volumio including it's own OS or u need a separate OS to run on.

You don’t need separate OS. You can even run Volumio from USB stick

I have also used Volumio on Pi and allo usb bridge and never had any issues. I think only recently they introduced PC version.

 

 I have never tried Gento player so it will be my next one to test

This is interesting.  I have used Volumio on small board computers like the PI I have never tried it on X86.  In my testing on the Allo USBridge Signature I found that Moode and Gentoplayer sounded a lot better.  The UI on Volumio is decent, but on the PI and other SBC devices it seemed hampered by speed.  The Volumio Primo is a neat little streamer!

 

The MyVoumio subscription service is both interesting and bothersome; but, they have to get paid for their work.

 

Reading the short notes on the last couple of releases is interesting:
