CuBox Project X

[Kunter]

Hello Kunter,

your system is very powerful. I don't target yours because of lack of money but i will try to customise best as possible.

A friend will build specific power linear supply to deliver 2x5V/2A to feed SSD and hummingboard.
He is also working on specific box to welcome everything (SSD, Hummingboard, EMI shields, heat dissipation, ...). The hummingboard cpu temp can be very high, so the box should be designed to evacuate heat.

You compare to Aries but wich one, the LE or femto/LPSU one?

What do you mean about cores isolation? I read in your previous posts that you dedicated 2 cores for MPD and 2 cores for USB, why USB? I will not use USB, just mSata and SPDIF coax.
But i would like to install XBMC upon on Volumio to be able to watch movies. What do you think about? I read in solid-run forum, someone who did that.

Have a nice day
Fabien

I compared Aries with Femto/LPSU...

Since I do not use this device for anything but music, I cannot comment on the XBMC issue, but Rufus covered the topic quite well...

Playing around with software optimisations, it is just funny how this little device improves on performance.

MPD has 4 threads while running. 
Player, Decoder, Output and one other. 
I dedicate 2 cpu's to MPD, increase their priority to Realtime, and they chose which of the 2 cpu's they run on. 

Sound is great.

Cheers.
