DIY Airplay or DLNA on Phantom (Raspberry Pi) - daibaron - 25-Aug-2016 Hi, i am a Silver Phantom owner. Unfortunately, the Spark app turned me into a Devialet hater... and this is not going to change so far. Devialet is really pushing us to buy an Apple Airport router (expensive with poor features) to get Itunes as a music player instead of the crappy Spark which is only good to play FLAC. I've been able to find a solution working with the Raspberry PI 3 and HiFiBerry Digi+ (TosLink out) This is not an out of the box working solution... but once it is set up and working you can turn a non wireless speaker into an airplay speaker. Basically the RPi 3 is connected to your home network and will work as an Airplay server. The RPi 3 is connected to the Phantom Dialog using the Toslink input. Your music app like Itunes on desktop computer or Ipod Touch / Iphone with see the RPi as an Airplay client/Serveur. This solution can be extended to every non wireless speakers with Toslink or 3.5 audio in capability. what you need is : * Raspberry Pi 3 * 8 GB SDHC card * a power supply... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vilros-Raspberr...berry+Pi+3 * HiFiBerry Digi+ std. https://www.amazon.co.uk/HiFiBerry-Digi-...ry+Digi%2B * Raspberry case https://www.amazon.co.uk/HiFiBerry-Unive...ry+Digi%2B * TosLink cable. * the Airplay client/server (software) http://www.pimusicbox.com/ http://www.runeaudio.com/ (highly recommended) and very new to me the next step for me is to use MusicBee to organize my music (Flac & MP3) http://getmusicbee.com/ I can get you more explanations if you guys show a little interest in this thread. Have fun ! RE: DIY Airplay on Phantom (Raspberry Pi) - Gaustabl - 25-Aug-2016 Hi, this is very interesting, how do you control the volume in this setup? best regards Lars RE: DIY Airplay on Phantom (Raspberry Pi) - daibaron - 25-Aug-2016 Hi Lars, you can control the volume with your Ipod/Iphone physical +/- buttons or Itunes/Spark You can also control the master volume on the RPI3 web interface.

RE: DIY Airplay or DLNA on Phantom (Raspberry Pi) - tennisinme - 08-Apr-2018 Hello, I am having trouble installing an OS onto the Raspberry Pi. I have gotten as far as flashing runeplayer onto my SD card but I can't access the Raspberry Pi and can't create a separate network (SSH problem I think) for the airplay to activate. Could you help out here? Thank you so much! RE: DIY Airplay or DLNA on Phantom (Raspberry Pi) - daibaron - 10-Apr-2018 Hi, I'm glad you found this thread... that was not popular at all. My current setup is this one : I bought a DigiPi (L2S driver is Hifi Berry) and now i use the Optical output. Musicbee player>(over dlna)> Volumio+ DIgipi>(over optical) speakers MusicBee is not compatible with my speaker over DLNA but works well with Volumio (DLNA client over the local network). That's why there is an extra step by adding the RPI DAC to make it work. maybe SSH is now disabled by default that's the case with Volumio |
