The contempt they have shown their customers is quite dissappointing and they clearly have either not considered who their market is, or one employee is letting the company down.Īnyway, this is Linux, so we can do what we like right?

Further, HiFiBerry apparently do not know how to make a lightweight image and when attempting to discus with them on their forums, they (quite bluntly) will not consider opening it up, and gave a signal of ‘I don’t know what I’m talking about’ when suggesting I could make a smaller image. I’m not sure what could possibly be going throught their minds, but clearly there’s something seriously wrong here. HiFiBerry are selling a DIY audio board, for a DIY computer that has a core target market of DIY people doing DIY with software and won’t provide username / password to do DIY on the underlying OS. Let’s just think about that for a minute. The second thing that dumbfounded me was for some unknown reason, HiFiBerry absolutely refuse to open up access to SSH. I mean, for what it is, it’s absolutely gargantuan. When I first looked at the HiFiBerry Roon image I was dumbfounded by the size of it. What do I get by combining a Raspberry Pi and piCorePlayer? Because you want high quality audiophile grade sound.Because you want to create an AirPlay target for your iPhone, iPad or Mac.Because HiFiBerry do not give you access to their system via SSH, or any other means which goes against the spirit of Raspberry Pi.Because the system runs entirely in RAM and does not break due to sudden power loss.Because this solution comes in at about 60MB, instead of the official HiFiBerry’s 1000MB solution.Because you want to combine multiple audio transport types (above) in a single hardware solution.Because can include a high quality, low cost Squeezebox receiver.Because this allows you to combine Apple Airplay into your RoonBridge solution.Because this enables the high quality lossless RoonBridge Audio Transport (RAAT).Because the the official HiFiBerry version of RoonBridge is unnecessarily large.Please see the ‘Summary Overview’ tab below for a high level view of the objectives this ‘how to’ will achieve.
