Any thoughts on Volumio primo vs Allo digi one signature as a first time go at streaming.

2

I gave up on volumio as it was a bit flakey, easy to install and setup with a nice interface for tidal and Qobuz but the USB kept throwing wobbles causing the DAC to freeze/lock. Even tried it with a USB > SPDIF converter and the volumio Pi still had issues.

Personally I’d go with LMS on a Pi and another running squeezelite as the endpoint (or even better buy a secondhand SBT)

Are you streaming your own ripped music or not?

Please could the OP or a mod please decapitalise the thread title. Thanks.

I feel what the op is really trying to say is recommend me a turntable or R2R.

Personally I would recommend the Technics SP-10. Lovely turntable that is. Or a Gyrodec, as I think they are pretty.

Hope to do both although all my cds are already on my pc and onto my i-pod which only gets used on long walks.Main reason is to listen to albums before i buy them on vinyl,brought to many disappointing ones over the last few yrs.

Is that better?

I’ve been using volumio for years with no usb issues. You don’t need the primo, just build one yourself in a nice case. Takes about 20mins tops to set up.

I’ve got a squeezebox touch in the garage somewhere. Didn’t really realise they were still relevant. Is there anything worth knowing regarding updating or remote apps etc before I dig it out?

It’s worth getting the latest beta (“nightly”) version of the server software, which has many fixes, and has all the excellent Qobuz/Tidal/Spotify integration.

I use an Allo Digione Signature as a Roon endpoint. Very happy. Tried Volumnio but after a trial of Roon couldn’t go back. For the same sort of money I would consider a S/H Auralic Aries mini or Bluesound Node 2i as they have better UI without the cost of Roon, and I imagine would be easier to set up.

I’ve got a Synology nas, squeezebox touch and a Mac mini that I don’t use in a cupboard so I guess I could install it on there? Sorry this is all new to me. Newb alert. :tired_face:

Looking at your link I could stick it on the Mac. I’ll have play tomorrow hangover situation dependant.
