Having been interested in Do-It-Yourself audio for some 35+ years now, I decided it was time to introduce some of the great audio components I have come across in the DIY world, to those who aren\u2019t so DIY inclined.<\/p>\n

With a love for cutting wood, I thought speakers would be a good place to start, and being well familiar with Mark Audio wide-range drivers, and their quality, I decided on the Alpair 6P for the Wertheim Audio Classic and Retro range.<\/p>\n

Soon after completing the first few sets of speakers I realised some form of matching amplifier would be needed to help make a marketable product. Being a fan of the Squeezebox Server, I was thrilled to see that a Raspberry Pi could be used to run the open source Squeezebox Server software. Delving into the Raspberry Pi \/ Squeezebox combination I pretty soon realised that my non-existent computer programing skills were going to hamper the projects progression. Searching the internet for information on the combination I was delighted to come across Max2Play. Suddenly, my problems were gone.<\/p>\n

Deciding on the Raspberry Pi Cirrus Logic\/Wolfson combination became an easy choice after discovering Max2Play. Thanks to Heiner and the gang, I now have a little wooden box that contains a wireless music server with built in DAC, analogue and digital outputs, a D-Class amplifier able to power a pair of small speakers to reasonable sound levels, and all happily running under the well proven Squeezebox Server software. Thanks Max2play.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\nMore information on gapmedia’s project<\/span><\/a>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_single_image image=”22700″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”yes” link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”] [spb_single_image image=”22702″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”yes” link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”last”]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
