The downside is the price - compared to the Raspberry PI this setup already has a external DAC that is not too cheap (same price as C1+ board) and it also needs a case with an increased height due to that DAC.ĭepending on what you want to achieve, both setups might be interesting. The HiFi-Shield (high quality audio with 192Khz) and the touch display work very well together and really offer the best Squeezebox Touch experience. This is mostly recognizable when you are running the Squeezebox Server on this device. This one has a little more power compared to the Raspberry PI, as the C1+ offers USB 3.0 and the EMMC-Cards are a lot faster compared to the class 10 SD-Cards in the Raspberry. Second Setup: new ODROID C1+ with HiFi-Shield and touch display (not having a case yet)
I will link the addon for installer of the Raspberry PI Display on the addons page of Max2Play.
SIDPLAY KODI INSTALL
If you like to build this on your own, you should grab yourself a 3.2" touch display and use the latest Max2Play-version to install Jivelite, visualisation skins and the Display itsself. If you are interested in a bundle that also offers powersupply and SD-card with Image you should have a look at our shop: The case looks quite nice and we already have a prebuild SD-Card-Image that just needs to be plugged in your Raspberry PI 2. This one is the easy, good value for money setup, that has just one downside when using the headphone jack for audio, as it has not the best build-in DAC. Lots of other applications, installable by web interface (Accesspoint, Samba Shares, WiFi, etc.)įirst setup: Raspberry PI with touch display Optional Squeezebox Server with Shairtunes2 addon for Airplay
SIDPLAY KODI SKIN
Visualisation of squeezebox features (latest jivelite with skin addon for 320x240 display) Touch display (3,2" with 320x240 px) with calibration Everything is set up with the latest Max2Play version that can easily install and configure:
An additional important feature is the Kodi (XBMC) mediacenter to play video in addition to having a perfect multiroom audio setup.
I recently tested different setups with touch displays to get Squeezebox Touch feeling together with an easy setup.
