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.....

Reminds me of the album "Hail to the thief". It was introduced in a similar situation.

Uhm, check out paid services like Spotify, Qobuz and Tidal? All 3 play well with Daphile.

Obsolete? How is that? Because the new Intel chips go back to the 15W TPD from the 7th generation, (idea is that lower is better) and have maybe more cores than previous generations (idea is that more is better). How are these small improvements so earth shattering making other platforms 'obsolete'?

So when does the shootout begin?

Contents of the file are: # default squeezelite configuration LOG_FILE="-f /var/log/squeezelite.log" In an earlier version of AL there was a line referring to the sound card. It was something like 'default:CARD=Eitr' that needed to be changed to 'front:CARD=Eitr,DEV=0'. But now that line is not there, so I'm not sure what to enter there.

Thank you for sharing this. On my system the Squeezlite is also stuck on 48kHz. When I go to the Status menu, Audio card status, and type 0, the Playback device is always on 48kHz, even if Interface 1 has rates 44100 through 192000. I can stop all running services, and then type 'squeezelite -o front &' in the terminal to start squeezelite using "front". Then it outputs the correct samplerate, corresponding with the input signal (LMS or Roon). But it does not keep it's setting. This setting is not there anymore in the file at /etc/squeezelite.conf, as in earlier versions of AL. My question is: can I edit AL 0.8 somewhere, that it keeps 'front' as setting for squeezelite?

Yes, I have the i5 version of the MSI cubi 3. Works well.
