    Hello everyone,
    I´m a proud owner of a Udoo quad, because i thought it´s pretty simple to build a stand alone musik server. But after reading a lot i still have some questions that might sound funny for you, but i´ve no experience in programming etc. so, please considerate...
    I like to build a stand alone musik player with usb dac, musik from external usb hdd. Not sure yet if i use Volumio or XBMC. Any tips are appreciated.
    Does Volumio really sound better than XBMC?
    To install Volumio or XBMC, does Linux must be installed first, or do i have only the desired program on my micro sd?
    Can i use any usb dac?
    I ripped my music with dbpoweramp as flac and copy it the hdd. will that work?
    As a stand alone player i would like to have one switch for on and off, or do i have to shut down everytime like i know from my pc?

    I know there are a lot :roll: and :lol: now, but please help...
    Thanks in advance

    I can reply on stuff regarding Volumio:

    - Yes, Volumio sounds better
    - Just download SD Card image
    - Not any, but 90% of USB DACs are supported
    - Yep, copy them to USB Drive, plug into UDOO, turn it on and rescan database
    - You can turn it off via WebUI or simply unpluggin power

    Let me know!

    Hello,
    got it running now with a new router...but...
    ...on my usb drive i´ve got about 20 albums, when i rescan the device, volumio shows only 3 of them in the library.
    all albums are copied the same way by dbpoweramp to the usb drive.
    anything i can try?
    thanks in advance...
