Moodeaudio as computer speakers

[Tim Curtis]

Yes sorry , maybe I didn't explain well enough

My idea was to make a MoOde powered set of compact speakers that would also serve as an audio system for my Mini Pc
My monitor has dreadful built in speakers 
Also I like the idea of using it as a sound system/radio when the PC is off

I have the Pi3 and Hifiberry Amp 2 lying around and hoped there would be a way of using USB SPDIF I2s HDMI or network connection to get low latency audio from the MiniPC

The MiniPC has digital line out , USB /C , and HDMI

I have tried Bluetooth in the past but was a bit disappointed by the lag - maybe it is better these days ?

is it possible that a USB dac hat would work with the Hifiberry Amp ?

Interesting about the USB-OTG work - Tim - any idea when that might be available ?

There's a thread in the diyAudio Forum that tracks USB OTG. @phofman is a major contributor.

You could also check on the HifiBerry DAC+ ADC Pro. I think it has a S/PDIF input. There is no integration block for it in moOde but it could be added if someone with the device wants to put in some work with me. Otherwise the input switching has to be done via ALSA commands or something like that.

You prolly won't have any lag whatsoever with a wired connection.
