Rune support for Digi+pro

[MichaelL]

Last week I put together a new Rpi3 and Digi+pro board.
It appears that Rune does not support this new board from HiFiBerry and consequently I have no output.
Hifi Berry gives instructions for the new board - https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/ ... /210788909
This is my first foray into Rpi and Rune but I have received feedback on my post to their forum - Quote
...you need to contact the Rune audio developers and check if they already have a new image with an updated kernel. As Rune isn't based on Raspbian, updating the kernel with the normal Raspbian tools might break the system.

It's a slightly disappointing response in view of the statement on your 'About' page - quote
Take an inexpensive, silent and low-consumption mini-PC and make it perform as an high fidelity digital source.
Well the new HiFiBerry Digi+pro board will be the 'must have' item for anyone using an external DAC i.e. the majority.
It would be great to know that said Hifi enthusiasts will be able to use Rune without poking around in software especially when the majority probably have no programming knowledge like myself.

This is actually my first foray into the world of RPi and being newly retired with the benefit of free time I planned to learn the basics of programming so that I could experiment with different peripherals with future RPi/Ardruino purchases.
A friend told me he had changed from Digi+ to Digi+pro and I assumed this would indeed be plug and play. It may be that he was using other software.
It is well known that contributors to these forums assume some level of prior basic knowledge when suggesting fixes. I encountered this with Squeezebox problems. I am a little frustrated in not being able to use the new toy especially as my LMS on the Mac has screwed up yet again, but following the guidance here I will have a go. Hopefully once it's sorted it will be more reliable than LMS has been for me.
Many thanks for your help. If anyone could guide me towards resources for learning to program I would be grateful.

Hi,


Does anybody succeed to make the Digi+ pro board working with Runeaudio? Is there a significant improvement in sound quality compare to the Digi+ board?

Thanks.

Yes I have both the Digi+ and the Digi+ Pro

All you need to do is update the Kernel. The instructions are around this board somewhere I found and followed them with no problems.

Once the Kernel has been updated you can do a aplay -l and you will see the "Pro" show up in the list.

Sound wise the Pro is smoother and silkier. I purchased a BNC connector and have used it as well.....no difference in SQ from regular coax.

Hope that helps
