I didn't know where to post this thread, feel free to move it if there is a better location for it. :) Is there any technical limitations that would be a problem for using a Pi zero, building a HAT that accepts a number of spdif inputs and output the digital audio through USB? Basically using a Pi z...

I finally got everything up and running.
Me being a no0b both with Kodi and openelec didn't make it any easier. I ended up ssh'ing in and editing the necessary stuff manually. And configuring Kodi isn't trivial either. Too early to comment on system performance but it seems to be working at least.

I'm waiting to get my psu any day now and then it's time to hook up my rpi2. I feel like I need a "dummy's guide to..." in order to set it all up. Slightly intimidating to say the least, lol.

Yes, most likely any limitations will be in the source and the receiver as long as you stay within the limits of the module.

I just received mine and it is a beauty. Very professionally done, impressive to say the least.
In the documentation for the Pi 2 it says it's compatible with the B+ but it would be nice to hear confirmation from IRL trials.

Awesome, PM sent.

Ooh, I want one of these, it's exactly what I've been looking for. Is it possible to get one? I'm new to the forum and don't seem to be able to pm yet?
