Introduce Your Volumio Setup

Volumio Community Forums Vox Populi

Figured we should have something like this…where forum members can talk about their setup. Would be interested to hear what other users have. I will start with my budget setup:

[Old external drive connected to USB & USB drive ] => [Volumio 2.041 / Raspberry Pi 2] => [HifiBerry DAC+ Pro] => [Marantz SR5500 - bought used off Craigslist] => [B&W 601 S2 - also bought used off Craigslist]

May not be the best but sounds good enough for me.

Here is mine:

  • storage: 2x 500Gb 3,5" hdd in dual USB enclosure with JBOD configuration (each unit is mounted separately), power managed with hdparm (which spins off drives after set timeout)
  • source: rPi B+, Volumio v2.114
  • USB transport: Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100, also used to channel TV audio out to alternative (better) chain
  • amps, cables & speakers: 20 years old radio/CD/tape player I had already at home, with multiple AUX INs and OUTs :slight_smile:
  • remotes: Volumio WebUI and Audioward (Android apps), Web browser frontend

Also I plan to add a Transmission torrent client and a Calibre server to the setup

Here is my setup:

WDMyCloudMirror NAS
Asus Tinker Board USB output
OPPO BDP-105 USB DAC input
Onkyo Integra P-304 Pre Amp
McCormack DNA-125 Amp
Vandersteen Model 2Ce Speakers

Volumio gives me an addition way to access the music stored on my NAS. And I get to play with a single board computer. The iphone app supplied by OPPO has been quite disappointing.
