sometime ago I raised a thread about replacing my squeezebox with a bespoke unit from scratch...as usual nothing came of it...but then my squeezebox died and although I'm quite happy with the beaglebone doing a similar job I thought I'd revisit the idea...
times have moved on and now there is this for not much more than £5. A bit ambitious I know, but the idea of a streaming client without an OS in the way might keep my calcifying brain cell occupied:

this is just an example of the cortex M4 boards out there, and I know it's reinventing the wheel, but it's a tad more interesting to me at the mo than building another amp.
I say more interesting because the last latfet attempt was the simplest and cheapest amp I've ever built and I can't fault the sound...so where can I go from there, except sideways....
