HiFiBerry DAC+ and Creative USB wireless transmitter

gianpaoloracca

Hi,
I'm using RuneAudio with HiFiBerry DAC+ on a Raspberry PI2 and I would like to be able to stream my music via http or some other ways.
I know I can add an http stream to the mpd configuration by hand and it should work, but with some lag, so I thought I might buy a Creative SoundBlaster Airplay transmitter http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-Wireless-Transmitter-Receiver/dp/B002BDU95A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 , which seems to work under ubuntu linux, and add plug it via usb. Do you think the raspberry can handle the HiFiBerry and the Creative at the same time?
It seems (accordingly to this http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Multi-Room-Music-Player/?ALLSTEPS) that even under linux ARM distro this usb device can work...

Hi ,

as far as i know "Creative SoundBlaster Airplay transmitter" is recognized by the kernel as a USB-DAC.
So it should be no problem to get it working with Rune Audio.

Do you think the raspberry can handle the HiFiBerry and the Creative at the same time?

This should be no problem for the PI2 at all.
The only thing you should know is, that Rune Audio lets you enable only one output at a time.
So if you want to use them both at the same time, you have to tweak the system a bit.
