MEASUREMENTS

measured the Volumio Primo with my Audio Precision SYS2722 system (see the January 2008 “As We See It”). I used test-tone WAV and AIFF files on a USB stick inserted into one of the four USB Type A ports on the Primo’s rear. I selected the appropriate directory on that stick with the Volumio Settings page that appeared on my iPad mini after I logged on to the Volumio Wi-Fi network. The Primo is specified as being able to decode PCM data with sample rates up to 768kHz.
