Orange Pi would be interesting. The Allwinner H3 at least has an audio codec built in. I think the audio IO is exposed at least on some Orange Pis. Maybe the audio isn’t as good, maybe it is, but I reckon few people could tell the difference. It would save a lot of hassle and money potentially. I know the minimal Orange Pi Zero has exposed line out and microphone pins, but no line in.
I have a pledge in for the raspad. but i do not think there would be room in the stock casing for a hifiberry or similar. perhaps if it was mounted via a ribbon cable instead of direct on the pins…
The performance is utterly horrid. I’m running 44.1KHz 1024 frames 2 periods and it’s still xrunning. I have qmidinet running to so I don’t have to suffer Jack Keyboard’s 5mm wide keys.
Are you otherwise happy with the pinephone ? As a phone ans for other use liké browsing the Web, listening music (without jack server) , sending email or SMS … ?
None of the os’s have full functionality a the moment, ubports lacks account sync and camera, mobian has the camera but no dav support, GoDroid has the account sync but not the phone. It’s pulling together though. Give it a few more months.
Ok, thank you. This sounds like what i’ve read here and there about the pinephone. I was planning to buy me one, but as my very old smartphone decided last week to jump into the sea, I bought another one.
But i’m si borred with Android and all that Google stuff …
