Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

Would these Intel 64GB 2.5" drives (some listings below) be a cheap SLC option to use with this project? They now sell typically in the $30 to $50 range. Also available in 32GB. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-SSD-SSDSA2SH064G1GC-2-5-64GB-SATA-II-3Gb-s-/222943318604?hash=item33e875124c https://...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

I'll take the next side around John - underneath where it says "ARM" in the image above. I got my flashair card yesterday, and after some figuring out (I can't believe how poor the interface is on this from the company) I have it working for transferring files over tonight. So as proof of...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

Just to progress this somewhat - how about doing a group effort to trace the STM pins & develop the schematic for this board? There are 4 sides to the STM chip & 4 of us could take one side each & trace where the pins of that side connect to Anyone with one of these SD card players want ...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

It seems that it's mainly Tubelover2 promoting the Panasonic 4GB m-SD SLC cards on that forum & that is plugged into a USB 3.0 Startech USB hub it seems (so there may be power quality considerations heere) On Jplay forum we see (I don't know what hardware the SD card is plugged into) http://jpla...

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

According to this mega thread linked below, the only SLC storage that sounded much better than the rest should be 4GB Panasonic micro SDHC card http://www.usaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1172 OK, good info - didn't know that - will look into that thread.

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

If it helps keep this alive John i am willing to stump up 1k of the cost seeing i cannot contribute much by way of software or hardware input.

Re: Computer Audio Blasphemy, nige tries Another SD Card Player

whats the advantage of option A over just using the installed software ? am i missing something? We would have the source code for a working SD player with excellent sound !! Far easier to & can enhance/modify it ourselves than write it from scratch So, we could change the existing functionalit...
