Dear list,
I was pointed to a device, which is able to play audio-files of up to
16 channels without the need of a computer as a stand-alone device. It
is basically a SD-card player and I wonder, if this might be
interesting for some on this list. The price is about 200,- Euro,
which makes it really affordable. The file has to be written onto the
SD-card by the use of a computer and a usual card-reader/writer,
though.
The link is here:

I even talked to the person developing it and he said, that higher
sample rates for multichannel might be featured in one of its next
software-updates, as this would be no technical problem to provide
this.
I am quite curious what people on the list might think about this
device and if there are even experiences or test results about it.
All the best,
Jan Jacob
Seems like you have to do quite a lot of work (power supply, a box to
put it all in, connectors to get audio out etc.) to have a usable
unit. Also you need a splitter board and two 8-channel Expansion
boards, and some form of display. So, not quite so 'affordable' as
first appears, and very much for the OEM user.
It's not entirely true that you don't need a computer, as some set up
commands have to come from a computer. If you want some sort of
programmed control this would have to come from and external device.
It seems that it won't loop automatically, which would probably be
required for an installation.
Interesting though.
Ciao,
Dave Hunt
