in the forum there were some posts about how to play DAB+ with Volumio. With various hacky solutions like SDR sticks( which consume a lot of CPU power). But nothing that sounds like a good solution.
I thought about it and had the idea to create a dedicated hardware DAB+ receiver board that would fit on SBCs with I2S connector like the RPi 2,3 or the Odroids Cx +. The benefit would be that also the DAC hats can be used as output.
So the question: Is there a general interest in such a receiver board or do you feel fine with mp3 and audio CDs (as soon as the CD Player plugin arrived in a bug free version )?
Epic, I would definitely order a few from you. I looked into DAB+ when I was planning my initial all-in-one radio build, but found no good out-of-the-box hardware except for crappy USB sticks. I even looked into getting just the plain chip, but the circuit design would have been slightly beyond my capabilities, so I scrapped the idea.
Is there still some interest in this ? I have the ugreen dab+ board, but its proprietary tuning software is somewhat painful to use. Happy to help prototype a plugin if it might be useful across the volumio community…
