What
I've acquired a beautiful antique Aristona SA5026A. Plan is to make a nice music player out of it using a Raspberry Pi B+ and a Suptronics X400 AMP/DAC HAT.
Software
WiP
Rune Audio
Tried v0.3-beta (29/10/2014), could not get it stable. It consistently threw kernel panics when rebooting, and the WebUI kept crashing.
Volumio
Tried volumio-2.246-2017-07-31-pi.img. After first boot you should wait while a lot of stuff is happening, like partition resizing. If you reboot it to soon you'll end up with a non working system. Got DAC working from within the WebUI:
- Go to Menu
- Choose Playback Opions
- Enable I2S DAC
- Choose IQaudIO Pi-DigiAMP+
- Save and reboot
OSMC
Got DAC working, needed two lines in /boot/config.txt:
dtparam=i2s=on dtoverlay=iqaudio-dacplus
After a reboot I could select this as default audio output in OSMC \o.
Todo
- Measure power consumption
- If needed, find a way to switch AMP on/off from the Pi
- Check if there is space in the Aristona and decide on how and where to mount the Pi and HAT.
- Decide on speakers.
