        I just came across Rune Audio today, I really like that one.

          I've been looking into https://volumio.org/
          Not exactly a jukebox, but it's a prety cool audio play. I'm thinking of using this to breath live into a Pi B+ with cheap DAC

              That Volumio looks AMAZING!

              Would be ideal if we could get it to launch on boot and quit back to ES (this would make it DEAL for cantina entertainment).

                I got myself a cheap DAC off ebay to see how good it can be. I'll let you know when it arrives

                  @Ekstreme Please do, I was looking at those DACS myself the other day. I may get the one with the RCA outs.

                      @plasmah77 THis is the one I got. Not idea how good it is yet though: eBay DAC
                      I'll get a better one once this POC works

                        I finally had time to try this out. WOW even with the 3.5mm audio jack it's a damn good application. Can't wait for my DAC to arrive now so my pi B+ can come alive again!

                          @Ekstreme Wow! So just using the jack is better? Great news, I'm going to be building a bartop for this pi3 I got and am going to use a VGA monitor with a HDMI to VGA converter. This is why I need to use that 3.5mm jack cause I know that converter loses the HDMI audio. Good news!

                            I'm not sure about better. I don't have my DAC module to compare against yet. It does work through the 3.5mm jack perfectly well though.

                                @plasmah77 Hey mate. Finally got time to try it out tonight. Putting it simply, I would not build an amplified system without a DAC. Sounds great!!
                                I did have to change /boot/config.txt to dtparam=audio=off to get it to output properly though. Keep in mind, this is Volumio
