Thanks for the reply Frank!
At least I seem to be on the right track. I went ahead and ordered the following:
1. 7inch Touch Screen with moulded ABS housing (official RPi type, I'm hoping it has enough room for the DAC, if not, Dremel, here I come ... lol)
2. HiFiberry DAC + Pro (I wanted the gold contacts more than anything else)
3. Logitech Z333 2.1 Speakers
I know the speakers are the weak link here, but I plan to put this in the kitchen/dining room area of the house, as my mum likes to listen to the radio in the morning while having breakfast etc. The speakers have a remote volume control and I wanted to make it easier for her to use.
It's a bit overkill for that, but I think the speakers will deliver 'good enough' sound quality for the old chook ... lol
If they don't live up to my expectations, then I can always replace them with something better.
Speaking of radio, I have been having a devil of a time trying to get some radio stations working. I found a list of all Australian radio stations and while some were obviously not going to work, they were using Windows based systems that are simply not compatible, but others that seemed to be able to work, don't.
Would you have any hints or tips on discovering the correct URL's to use, assuming they exist?
Most of the stations that failed have online players that run in a browser, but they refuse to work in Rune Audio.
So far, I am really liking Rune Audio, but I did come across a bit of a trap for young players, and that is, if you are updating from a network share and you decide to shut down/reboot while it is still updating, it can corrupt the SD card. Found that out the hard way of course ... lol
But I am really really liking it so far.
A big Thank You and hats off to the developer/s.
