dont worry tony the raspberry pi audio accessories could be expensive tootony wrote:That company I think purposely picked that name. Have heard their headphone amps at a Cloney show. They are very nice. That is some name for a dac(well for any product)
Fingers crossed the Raspberry pi turns out to be crap. A bit like having bought a betamax we need it to fail. What would we do with all that power supply crap we have all shelled out on.

Re: Build a dedicated Audio PC
Guys,
I am preparing myself for attempting to implement some of the madness I read on this board & this trhead in my own CAS build. Oh my...
Step one is the parts-list. I cannot seem to find the wire (3.3V / 5V / 12V) you guys use for your stuff. I recall Nige putting it up someplace (brand, /shop?) but cannot find it...
Any help on the wire?
Also, any of you guys have any hands-on experience with Headway LifePo4 cells ? They come in BIG sizes, with caseholders and with screws at both ends (no soldering)!

Re: Build a dedicated Audio PC
I did.. :-) I took the coward route (awaiting my Teradak 275 ATX).nige2000 wrote: i thought you ran for your life from this stuff :)
But that does not solve the getting the OS drive and USB card seperate rails thing. So that is what I'll be doing.
OS drive (SSD) will be on a plain USB battery pack, still don't know about PPA card. I might try feeding the PPA 5VSB direct from the Teradak (it's 2.2 amps max, coming of an LT1084 regulator; no clue how good that is). Alternatively, I'll need some battery config for the PPA than for the SSD (don't want to run the PPA of a USB battery pack), involving charger and regulation..
Thanks!nige2000 wrote: this is the sort of stuff

I found some relais b.t.w. that should do the trick on the switching on/of of the battery power:

All screwdriver stuff !
Plan to use the 5V sata/molex coming off the standard ATX loom to switch.

Re: Build a dedicated Audio PC
Has anyone considered the worth of UEFI for music computers?
Just wondering?

Re: Build a dedicated Audio PC
hmm
mobo clock mods
the cause of much hair loss
I was working on Adam's mobo trying to figure out why it'd been unstable with only just one clock
I'm starting to believe that I could buy 10 identical mobos and only a few would be stable with clock mods either mine or the ppa mobo clock as I've tried both
I pulled an old mobo out of the shed with two clocks on it with a fried internal usb header otherwise perfect
plugged her in and it's stable no issues whatsoever
go figure....
maybe there's a mobo model that will work everytime?
