My homemade raspberry pi streamer

Love the new class D clock. where is it connected to?

It’s connected via an Ian FifoPiQ7ll and an Ian SinePi.
In addition, I also have a ReclockPi on top, whose mclk 2 goes to the TransportPi mk2.
There is a difference in sound with the standard clocks and neutron star.

I am also big fan of the Neutron stars. Use them for DACs etc, but did not change the PI clock as such yet.

I haven’t used Volumio on this streamer DAC in a long time.
I’ve also built in a lot of extras, such as an Ian Canada DDC, 2x i²s over HDMI in and output and a 7.9-inch HDMI touchscreen. Everything works fine, except for a very long boot time with a Raspberry Pi 3…but that shouldn’t spoil the fun.

Try using a very fast microSD card (Samsung Evo Plus or Pro Plus). It helps a bit. Volumio’s slow startup was also annoying me.

Very nice project by the way…

Thanks I’ll will try that :+1:

I tested with an RPi3B+. I switched from SanDisk Ultra XDHC to Samsung 128GB EVO Plus 2. It made no difference. Boot time ~175s with Volumio4. More details @ Volumio 4 Feedback Thread - #226 by AndrewHeard. Please no flames, I’m simply reporting my experience. I’m not complaining.
