Card Sound
Plenteous audio from a tiny micro SD Card
With a smartphone or an MP3 player it’s easy to play audio files, but generally not at room strength or if you can, only in wretched quality. The Card Sound project makes it possible to fill the room with music and have excellent sound reproduction! This lightweight and compact player also stands out for its modest quiescent current consumption and desirable extra features such as I²C and RS-485 control.
