Hi all
I have been testing volumio for some time and I like it a lot.
My key objective is to create a UPNP Renderer with WiFi connection.
I am using Cubox-i2. WiFi stick is Edimax EW-7811UN (RT-2870 chip). My UPNP server is Jriver MC19 running on a Windows PC. DAC is a USB dac based on XMOS chipset, capable of 192-24.
I have tried the above setup with Squeezelite, running over Geexbox distro - works perfectly.
I have tested so far:
- version 1.4 official beta - doesnt boot.
- version 1.4 beta cuboxi - runs well, UPNP works nicely (tested with 192-24 files, both FLAC and M4A), wifi doesn’t work, airplay works but makes horrible sounds.
- version 1.2beta, with upgraded kernel - boots ok, wifi works well, UPNP doesnt work, MPD shows USB dac but doesnt make a sound.
- Eventually, I found a patched Kernel for cubox-i, that supports wifi as well as other features, and this is it - Volumio V1.4 beta-cuboxi, with Kernel 3.10.48, and everything works perfectly !
Please keep up the good work, I’m a fan already !
Thanks, Yair
