Stream spdif in

lensteruk

hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to complete my first audio project.

 

The aim is to take an output from my LINN amp via SPDIF (primarily from my turntable) and connect this to the Cirrus Audio Card on the RASPI and stream this audio to a second pi which is configured to receive the stream and output it to a speaker.

 

The idea is to create several raspi enabled speakers around the house and use this to stream the output from my turntable.

 

I now have the receiver all set up and working beautifully using openElec but I am a bit stuck sending the audio from SPDIF in

 

I am sure it's relatively simple and a headless distro with a pre configured daemon but.....

  • Why would you do this? You are trying to do something completely unnecessary and useless. Your Raspi can receive the input with the multi-room in linn kazoo. I mean, since your turntable is first connected to the linn it will digitize the entire analogue input. The rest is taken care off by openhome. Unless I understand your project incorrectly I really recommend you to go the multi-room route.
