I'm due to complete on my first house next week, super excited and I've been coming up with lots of idea's and projects I want to do and one is a music player that's hooked into my AV receiver.
I wanted a wall mounted touchscreen panel to control it, the receiver and other components will be kept under the stairs behind a wall so I've just got speakers on show in the main room.
I was thinking of doing this with a raspberry PI and HiFiBerry Digi board but I seem to be getting more confused by it all the more I search. I'd obviously like to output at a high enough level that I won't get any degradation. Audio isn't really my strong point and I'm more of a PC guy that has everything wired rather than wireless.
Whats the best way to connect whatever the player is to the receiver which will then allow the receiver to do it's stuff without the format being changed?
Now I'm thinking of a small form factor PC with a soundcard that has Toslink, install volumino as the operating system on an SSD for faster boots and then a HDD for music storage and I guess just a switch to turn it on mounted to the back of the wall or something.
Has anybody done something similiar, basically just a wall mounted touchscreen to control whatever is doing the processing which is connected to the receiver if you could explain your setup to me I'd be grateful.
