RayCtech,

There is a new stock of Cuboxes, its a new revision with the following changes:
<rabeeh_> Kiranos: the rev2 board is almost identical to rev1, except changed some circuitry for better EMI, FTDI instead of Prolofic usb to serial
<rabeeh_> there is newer features and fixes like SD card ...

Resampling to 32/176.4 has also made great improvement (thanks RayCtech)

Does that actually has an effect on the 24bits wavio aswell? I remember reading something about spreading out losses so it was beneficial anyhow? Are you resampling RT or did you upsample your collection offline ...

Nice results multiblitz!

Will be interesting if the sotm card still makes that big a difference when the alix is powered by a decent lineair psu. What are you using as linear psu's?

Did the bios tweaking/downclocking have a big effect?

What part of Germany are you located?

Hey multiblitz,

So Id say you would prefer the alix Next up installing mpdpup on your W7 machine (or boot from an usb stick)? and compare?

Do not waste money on the boards without GigaBit network.
The boards without GigaBit network have a completely crippled I/O system.
Everything is connected via a USB HUB - so the USB 2.0 Audio adapter must share resources with network, SD / CF / SATA etc..


Yeah only the beaglebone (not its ...

Hey edbk,

Can you throw a couple links up for the mobo's you mentioned please?

Drew.

Sure Drew.

This is with supplying power by a lineair high quality PS in mind so powerusage focused.

Can buy these ...

Ooops... I have discovered some potential issues with Intel platforms that I do not have on the CuBox...
In the ARM kernel I have also disabled USB HUB support (disabled printers, wi-fi, OSS etc.. etc.. mostly everything except USB 2.0 Audio and ALSA and proper storage devices), and that may be a ...

Ah indeed that RayCtech! Ok ill deffo signup on the CuBox prebuy now since this guy is borderline crazy/brilliant

I do not have the proper setup to evaluate the audio quality at the time being. In three - four weeks time my new music room will be finished and proper galvanic isolated USB -> I2S boards supporting all samplerates and formats, both a Light Harmonic Da Vinci DAC and a new (own design) DAC and the ...

Really very nice work

I cannot persuade you to disclose quickly perceived audible differences with your cubox setup with all your own custom work on it vs your previous downclocked i5 setup, even if its comparing apples and oranges?

Haha ok, so I guess ill endup ordering an atom board and something like that cubox aswell. The cubox has many unhappy customers but it seems most complaints are directed at videoplayback performance and lacking or no support at all but that does not really concern us. Also seems very unsure on how ...

Very nice find, a little pricey compared to the others but the I/O sure makes up for that. It's out of stock currently hmm.. My waveIO is shipping this week so I have some time.

But one big important question, sounding better then your i5 setup?

Does it perform on par with your intel setup then? What linux distribution are you running?
I was thinking of ordering this one:

My main reservation with these boxes is most run ethernet off the usb bridge and most ...

Hi everyone,

Cool effort! I'm just about to order some hardware for jumping in on this. Read this thread and its interesting to see people's experiences regarding sound quality vs processing power. I've ran into that before on different platforms, I've done linn, pc, mac streaming and its ...
