Hello

[HebRob]

   
   

I live in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Been a Fedora Linux user since Fedora Core 3, which was released in 2004.
I have a music library of some 15,000 tracks, around 40% being Classical.  Already have a Pi4b running mpd (Bookworm os), outputting "bitsteam" to an AVR.
I bought a Pi5, cooling, NVMe HAT and HifiBerry DACx8. Now I want to understand Camilla DSP. The ultimate aim is to get rid of the AVR because it's too ugly but in the meanwhile I'm going to bi-amp my front speakers with better quality amps and use camilla to make a crossover if I can work it out. Later, I hope to connect my centre and rear speakers and look into room correction.
I've installed Moode and Bookworm/Camilla on different SD cards and intend to experiment with them and if one is a better solution than the other.

Still waiting for the NVMe drive to be delivered.

Hi, and welcome to the Forum.

I'll let the Camilla DSP experts speak to crossover design but it certainly sounds doable.

I may have you beat in the Linux department; I started with the first broadly distributed kernel, back when Internet at home was a pipedream and folks like Walnut Creek were distributing SlackWare Linux and tons of other software on CDROM. In my day job, I had a lab full of workstations running competing flavors of Unix.They weren't the focus of my work but my work depended on them. Had to depend on a Walkman for my music fix.

Regards,
Kent

Never been a computing professional. Nearest I got was the person troubleshooting problems with people's tech before calling the help desk, weekly/monthly back-up onto tape as part of my job. When I started work my job was calculating payments manually and preparing data-types for other people to use to punch paper tape and feed them into a transmitter to send to the mainframe computer in another city. This was early 80's and we were a bit behind the times. The next installation of IT put us on the cutting edge, input with green screen monitors, which only took a few years to become outdated. Things went a long way in a very short time. Pace of change has slowed considerably now.
