Hello seeking advice on a Hardware Platform.

Hello,

I am new to Volumio but not so new to audio. I am considering making the switch from a windows based player (Jplay) to a Linux based system and Volumio seems to be a perfect fit. I am considering using an Intel NUC with an i3 or i5 core. Is it safe to assume this will get the job done? Is there a preferred Intel processor and or NUC / Raspberry equivalent to use?

Anybody with previous experience using these products, that can share comments and or comparisons etc, would be very helpful.

Enjoy the music!

x86 is at first glance a great base platform for Volumio, however there are many more variables to satisfy compared with a SBC, and some hardware is not supported by the standard (older) kernel provided by Volumio. There is a lot of development work going on, and you might like to have a read of this thread if you haven’t done so already.

Welcome to Volumio btw :slight_smile:

Does anybody use an Intel NUC? Please share your experience.

Enjoy the music!
