    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    Hello, I hope this is the right thread to ask this question. I am using UAPP to reproduce music that is (physically) located on my NAS drive. The NAS runs a Twonky DLNA server, that I am able to connect to via UAPP. Everything works fine except for the (not so) special case of multi-disc albums...

    Post pics of your builds....

        One channel of my Project Phono box SE II suddely stupped working, i opened it and found a pcb half the size of the whole enclosure stuffed with all smd components, nothing easily serviceable, so i decided to build something new and went for an Hagerman Bugle.   I tried to fit both...

    Lets Talk Metal

    It's always difficult to directly compare vinyl and CD as recording media, as you can never be sure that the same exact mastering and mixing has been used in the different releases, and that can make a lot of a difference, for example i have that Ride the Lightning remaster on vinyl which is...

    What's your foobar2000 setup?

      It's a ColumnsUI layout that i found on the internet, with some adjustments. What i particularly like is the cover art preview in the bottom panel, makes me feel like i'm browsing my real vinyl or CD collection.

    DIY amps

    For around 350€ i built an M^3 with Sigma 11 power supply and i'd recommend it to anyone, i've not heard anything commercial priced above 200$ or so, but the M^3 is far better than that with both high and low impedance headphones.  Both the documentation and the PCB provided by AMB is top...

    What Speakers Do You Own?

    Quote: I just made them out of some wood, then painted them black and applied those spikes on the underside with drive-in nuts. Some kind of stands were necessary because the speakers are bottom ported.

    What Speakers Do You Own?

      Finally painted my DIY speakers, i chose a textured finish normally used to decorate furniture or walls, it' s made of three layers of different paint and has a metalized look, may not be everyone's taste but they look much better in real life and i believe something original is better than...

    Lets Talk Metal

    Just got two reissues on fancy 180g colored vinyl of the first two Candlemass albums on Peaceville records, awesome stuff, i love the main riff on this one

    Lets Talk Metal

    That's an awesome album by one of my favorite bands,  i've also got "Ashes" and "Marrow", which are great as well but the heavy folk overtones on "The Mantle" really make it special, instrumentals as good as "The Hawthorne Passage" are rare to find.

    Lets Talk Metal

    That's not bad at all, surely better than the average material on their last album, however i don't particularly like the guitar work on their later material, it has become a sort of hybrid between the heavier riffing of Train of Thought and their first works, this track is a tiny step in a...

    Post pics of your builds....

              This is a four channel LM1876 "Gainclone" amplifier, it's just the recommended noninverting schematic with a minimalist power supply consisting of a diode bridge and a pair of 3300 uF caps per board, each fed by an 80VA toroid. It's a cheap and compact design, right now it...

    What's the first song that plays when you hit shuffle?

    "A Sun That Never Sets" by Neurosis, from the same titled album.   My shuffle must have a really has good taste
