But does Dietpi have Spotify connect then? I've used both with LMS+squeezelite and the Spotty plugin. Works fine on both, (though with some occasional no discovery in the Spotify app, but I have that also with Volumio or Chromecast).

The second and third pictures look a lot like each other, just the scaling on vertical axis is different. The second picture shows the frequency spectrum up until 176kHz, while the third picture only shows up to 22kHz. The first picture is interesting, it shows the aliasing effect, when a 'leaky' filter is used for upsampling. The major difference between the first and second picture is that the first was created using a filter that allowed aliasing, and the second had a steeper filter with no aliasing.

Upped the lifetime membership to 699???? 🤨 For getting a bit better recommendations, and easier liveradio? To be honest, with Roon 1.6 liveradio was not optimal, you needed to add the URL by hand. Dor instance Euphony, Volumio and LMS have selectable stations, no need to search for the URL's yourself. And they dare to ask 200 euro more for this added functionality???

My trial code arrived in my spam mail. Took me a couple of days to find that out.

Could you give us some more details on what Audiolinux 2.0 actually is? At the moment my audiolinux is running OK, can I continue to use it as is? I understand that after Oct 30 there will be no more updates. But what will upgrading to 2.0 bring us?

On my system with 8GB, when I don't activate ramroot, I think 2 GB could even be enough. When you check RAM usage in the menu, it's incredibly low, especially when used as endpoint (airplay/squeezelite/Roon bridge). Mostly there is something like 400MB in use. Also LMS is not very big. It's mostly Roon server that uses a lot of resourses.

You mean something like the Naim hydra, that is only available as UK mains plug, or the Current Spyder. Find these interesting too. Never bought one, nor made one in a DIY way.

It was also once stated that the prime reason for using Optane was that the latency was comparable with RAM (and the noise comparable with USB).

Thank you very much! This was what I needed. I've added the folders, and can now access them over the network. Great support, thanks Piero!

I'm trying to figure out how I can mount a USB stick on AL, and then share it to the network. I want to try using my NUC as a single box solution, with AL on an octane drive, running Roon, and having all music on a USB drive/stick. I managed to mount the USB stick, it needs to be formatted in NTFS, or in EXT4, and I can access it in the terminal. There is also a network drive showing up, named "audiolinux", with the folders "audiolinux" and "Downloads". In "audiolinux" are the subfolders "Downloads" and "Music". So I can drag and drop music from my computer into the Music folder for instance, but the space on the optane drive is limited off course. How can I share a mounted USB drive with the network? I tried mounting it at /media/samba, but that does not seem to work.

Not sure about the trial version, but there are some other distributions that are 'similar', that you can try and that are free. Volumio and Daphile for instance, both for UEFI, or for pc with BIOS you can try Dietpi or Snakeoil OS. For Euphony OS there is a trial available, and that is also based on Archlinux.

As far as I know, the mini doesn't have an LPS (Linear power suply), it comes with a standard smps. (Switch Mode PS)

What about simply the Remote app for iTunes??

That is pretty far off from what a similarly priced high end server looks like, for instance the internals of a Melco, Pink Faun or Innuos look much better.

Again the product (etherregen) already turn legendary before the first ones are actually sold. I quit well remember the first usb regen, which would clean up a usb signal so good, that everything upstream would not matter anymore.....
