Hi Mick. The general idea is to combine a RPI and a USB sound module the same way we can use a computer and a sound module, but specialized as a multichannel player. The RPI can be replaced with many ARM based computer, including phones and tablets. The advantage of using a USB sound module is that the driver is the same for most (if not all) of them. The disadvantage is a higher cost than a dedicated/embedded sound chip, but for DIY/prototyping, I think it's the easiest way.
I don't know how feasible this project is; there are limits in terms of channels, performance and quality. It requires Linux and/or Android development skills, time and patience... -- Marc On Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:40:11 +0000, mick ritchie wrote: > Any links to this pi and usb sound module options? > > mick > On 14 Dec 2014, at 13:04, Marc Lavallée wrote: > > On Sun, 14 Dec 2014 07:30:17 +0100, David Pickett wrote: > > At 00:54 14-12-14, Louis Mustill wrote: > >> Not used it myself but this might be of interest. > >> They make lovely kit generally. > >> > >> http://www.sounddevices.com/products/970/ > > > > I should hope so at $4,629.00! > > > > http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1044277-REG/sound_devices_970_64_track_dante_and_madi.html > > > > David > > A lovely DIY kit made of a Raspberry Pi and a USB sound module (8 > channels, 16bit/48Khz), with a wifi web interface, would cost less > than $200.
