Good morning All!

Just found TAS via a link on Art Of Sound where I visit as well as Pink Fish Media.

My current system is a Sonos Connect, Lehmann Linear headphone amp and Sennheiser HD 600 headphones.

My current project is a Raspberry Pi and IQaudIO DAC, hopefully to improve on the Connect. Hoping to get lots of help and guidance here with set up.

Also I'm a keen biker, having passed my test last year and currently riding a Triumph Bonneville.

Cheers for now,

Bill.

It's nice to see you here. We like the Pi and there are a couple of very informative threads about it. Cheers

I've made a start this evening using Martins fantastic instructions in the 'How to' section. I now have Volumio (downloaded from the Iqaudio site) on a micro SD card ready to plug into the RPi once the DAC arrives.
I'll move over to the correct thread now with any Pi related issues.

Cheers,

Bill
