Hi folks,

Have any of you tried using the Raspberry Pi for playback of audiophile-quality music? It seems like an attractive idea if it can be done. I'd be looking to play 24bit/96kHz stereo FLAC files. Will J River MC run under the Linux OS? Any information would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

MC doesn't run under Linux yet and if it did, its not going to run on a Raspberry Pi until its compiled to run on it. And even then, I don't expect it will run due to memory and cpu constrains. I think its a safe to say it will probably never happen.

I also fail to see how a raspberry pi could work in an audiophile setup, its the very cheapest, low end hardware on the market. But you know, I could be wrong wouldn't be the first time

Hi IM,

Thanks for your reply.

I just didn't want to miss an opportunity. If the Pi was up to the job, it would be worth getting to grips with it and Linux.
