They provide a very nice piece of gear for a stand alone solution and decent responsive support via the OTC forums. I requested a change to the BIOS and they did it for me as an update. I have had one for several months as a head for my home entertainment center and it is working very well. Yesterday I did some edits with ardour2. All I had to do was "apt-get install ardour". It's not $50 but it is less than $300 for a complete 64 bit x86 solution including RAM/HDD/SSD. The case is brushed aluminium and it is very robust. If you get an SSD it is nearly 100% solid state apart from the CPU fan which is almost noiseless. My (cheap) home stereo speaker system generates more noise than the fan and I have it running 24/7 for net streaming to TV with full 1080p over hdmi. Saves all the hassle of learning how to cross compile and the general issues associated with developing for ARM. I tried several other options before settling on this one. They were cheaper but also more frustrating. Intel are catching up on ARM these days with the 16/14/12nm fab process. > That's one of the cheapest I could find with an Allwinner A20 chipset. > Better would be to get something like a Cubieboard. > -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
