Hi - definitely new to all of this. I have ordered a CuBox - i Quad Pro and intend to load Volumio on it.
Here is my setup
CuBox-i Quad
Volumio
Musical Fidelity V-90 DAC will connect to CuBox via optical Toslink connection
1 TB esata drive (currently NTFS file system)
Jolida JD-102B connected to DAC
Questions:
- Is there a technical User Manual someplace? Is any of this documented anywhere?
- What do I have to do use the 1TB disk drive besides connecting it with a esta cable?
- Is it better to reformat the drive to another file system i.e. ext4 (I am new to Linux but know other OSes)
- Where does Volumio store its music library data - I want to have all the music and meta data on the 1TB drive and leave the SD card for software/config files only
As a parting thought/question: XBMC seems to have a much larger footprint - I am interested in high quality audio only (at this point in time). I am “assuming” that Volumio is the way to go. Anyone have experience that XBMC is a better in terms of audio quality player than Volumio?
I thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.
Regards,
Steve
