You do have a DAC!?

Yes, I have an Audio-gd R2R1 DAC, hence my question here.

 

[Elder]

I am thinking of trying to boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick. And I am wondering if these stripped down versions will support my R2R1 DAC?

Thanks!

I use my R2R 11 with Volumio. It even works with DSD 256 with Amanero firmware update. An x86 version of Volumio can be downloaded, flashed in a thumb drive and run from USB boot. You should try it. Volumio runs on a stripped down Linux. Works well on a Raspberry Pi. Even better on a PC.

Thanks for your suggestion. However, since I am brand new to Linux and I need this PC for regular work, I can't dedicate it to run a "headless" music playback system.

However, I will definitely keep Volumio in mind. I've been thinking about picking up a Raspberry PI for some time but had no idea what I would do with it. Now I know.

Thanks again

Anyone on R1/R2R1 who has tried it?

 

[ToddRaymond]

@maellen I have the R-28, which has the same DAC as the R2R1. I love mine. What sorts of questions do you have?

 

[maellen]

@Turdski Oh. Just want to hear some feedback from those who upgraded from previous firmware revision

 

[ToddRaymond]

Ahh, gotcha. I've come close to updating mine beyond the 'V3A' version, but I'm slightly hesitant, as I'm already quite pleased with the sound I'm getting. Also, from reading on the R-7/R8 thread, it seems some were more happy with the 'dsdclk' one than the 'DOP' version for the R-7, and since there is no 'dsdclk' version available for the R-1/R-28, I'm wondering if I'll like the presumably more dynamic (but potentially rolled off highs) sound of the DOP.

But, I really should just try and hear for myself. Mostly I've just been avoiding the minor hassle of installing a Windows 10 virtual machine on my Mac in order to perform the update.

The fw on the da-8 needs to be flashed as well if you own a dac using the first version of them. This is done using a xilinx blaster and sw.

I flashed with a blaster
already did so before

Gents, has anyone tried the new TDA1541 emulation? I'm using it with my R-28 and love the sound, but then I haven't compared it off. Also using NOS mode. Feedback welcome.

still there are clicks ((
