The release of Daphile 24.05: A distribution for building music systems

The distribution kit was released Daphile 24.05, based on Gentoo Linux and designed to create a system for storing and playing a music collection replaceable on a computer without a screen. Playback and collection management is done through a specially created web interface. A build with a regular Linux kernel is available for download (329 MB) and assembly with components for real-time operation (319 MB).

The distribution can operate as a sound server, network storage (NAS, Network-Attached Storage) and wireless access point. Playback from internal drives, network streaming services and external USB drives is supported. To ensure maximum sound quality and create multi-zone audio systems, you can connect your Daphile computer to analog amplifiers via digital-to-analog converters with a USB interface.
