Hi, new owner of PI 2 + PI-DAC+. just thought I would share my experiences, including router setup.
I got sound ok from the PI-DAC+ after editing the /boot/config.txt file, (using the PI 2 image found on this forum) but had problems streaming from the USB port on the router. I have a hard disk in a usb enclosure formatted to ext3 with my flac files on. I could not get runeaudio to see the drive. After a lot of head scratching I updated the router firmware with Merlins latest version (RT-AC66U_3.0.0.4_378.51_0 at time of writing - a google search for asuswrt merlin should do it) .
This firmware has built in NFS functionality, and once this was set up, runeaudio found my drive. Working perfectly.
Hope this might help someone.

Hi tobyl,
I just got a new pi 2 and Hifiberry DAC+. Can you tell me the detail to let it work with RUNE?
I couldn't found the pi 2 img for the DAC+.
I am not a Linux programer and I just want to get the music out of the Pi 2!
If you know how to do, please show me the way!
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Jack

Hi Jack,
Looks like Frank answered your question in your other post.
In my case I had to edit /boot/config.txt. The way I did this was to ssh into the PI 2 from another computer to change the config.
You need to find out which IP address your PI 2 is on, the easiest way is to log into your router to find out.
then from a linux cosole type
ssh root@192.168.1.25 (or whatever the IP address was that the PI is using)
passwword: rune
nano /boot/config.txt
find the appropriate DAC entry, and uncomment it (remove the #)
ctrl-x, and y to save
reboot, and you are done.
I have not tried, but from Windows I think you can install putty which can do telnet or ssh.
Let us know how you got on
