What setup are you considering using with the pi and speakers? I'm also interested in doing this, but haven't found a good OSS solution (yet).

- Qerub 7y agoI’m using a Raspberry Pi with shairport-sync, a SPDIF HAT and a Maestro-50 amplifier (that I got for cheap) and am really happy with it. I even route TV audio through it and have a IR sensor for remote control.
- sk5t 7y agoFor the moment it's a Pi 4 + Hifiberry Digi+ Pro with Volumio software. Volumio provides a pretty decent web UI, automatic scanning of connected USB storage, Airplay (v1), and a Spotify Connect plugin. There are also other plugins but I haven't looked into them too closely. I also liked Roon Bridge on the Pi (and felt the audio output was slightly improved, although made no effort to counter the placebo effect) but couldn't quite justify the cost.
- microcolonel 7y agoIf you have a Linux box like a Pi, you can expose that machine's audio device over the network with PulseAudio, and if you have that enabled, it'll autoconfigure and work like any other PulseAudio device. I used to share my DAC between my laptop and my desktop this way. Whenever I plugged my headphones in, it'd default to them on the local device, and the remote would default to the network device. I could walk away from my desktop while playing something, and it'd continue playing on whichever I had my headphones plugged into.
