Lots of comments from people unsure what this actually is: It's an operating system primarily designed for single board computers that turns them into audio player appliances. It has some proprietary components that I don't like but there are alternatives, such as Moode, Picoreplayer, Roon, Rune, and so on.
- nextaccountic 6y agoThe page says "Free and Open Source Forever.", what are the proprietary components?
- LeoPanthera 6y agoThe "MyVolumio" parts. https://volumio.org/my-volumio-overview/ https://volumio.org/my-volumio-overview/
- h0nd 6y agoThats a different product, afaik.
- kiririn 6y agoThe whole concept is questionable - single board computers, even x86, commonly have flawed USB implementations for isochronous devices (used for high quality audio). Each individual setup will be rolling the dice on whether it works and/or is free of dropouts, in ways that are unimaginable for people who have only used USB audio on full fat PCs
- LeoPanthera 6y agoIt is mostly commonly run on the Raspberry Pi, for which "hat" based audio output devices use I2C, not USB.
