Andrew. As we are still in the pre-production stage... have you thought of adding something like this
Wolfson Audio Card onto that air. It would then make it a multi media powerhouse as it could be integrated into a higher audio system, and allow for external devices to stream into it.
Just a thought as it's already designed and built.
Hi Matt,
Well, there are a few reasons why we won't use this or any other existing DAC, and I'll detail them below. But first, what do you think it would bring to the table to make AxiomAir into a multimedia power house? The digital input?
On to why we won't use this solution:
Our dedicated DAC is already designed, tested, and prototyped and it offers excellent performance.
The Wolfson solution does not use ultra low noise power supplies.
The Wolfson solution is only capable of 24bit/48kHz.
The Wolfson solution is only compatible with Raspberry Pis that are now two generations old.
And finally, Wolfson has little to no support of the background Kernel changes required to make this board/chip work correctly with the Pi. Check out comments on various forums.
Thanks,
Andrew
