What Board for Multi-room audio?

[Carlos Rodrigues]

Need a little help.

 

What board do you guys recommend for multi-room audio?

 

What a need:

 - Something small like OPI zero or a bit bigger (that's the space i have inside the wall)

 - I2S for connecting a DAC

 - Onboard WiFi

 - Maybe a Micro and onboad flash

 

I have an OPI Zero but it has no I2S

The only ones that i know are C.H.I.P and and nanopi Air

That would be surprising if true (I honestly don't know).  However, if you look at the FriendlyElec NanoPi Neo or NanoPi Core, you'll get the same size and I2S (even a DAC if you aren't horribly picky:

I did a write-up on using these with MPD, so I know for a fact they and the DAC work, but I don't think you'll need it.  (actually linked on the FriendlyARM device page somehow...)

 

I don't think anything else is that small, so you already know.

Thanks for your help

 

I just read your blog, and i guess that in the new kernel version we just have to go to armbian-config and enable the I2S and that is it.

If so, i'm convinced.

The device tree is a beautiful thing.
