Giveaway Week – Vana Player Linux Based HiFi Audio Player

After giving away a virtual reality headset on Monday, and a TV box on Tuesday, I’ll offer a very unique device for the third day of this giveawat week with Vana Player, an HiFi audio player based on Allo Sparky ARM Linux development board.

Beside the development board the kit includes two audio DAC boards, a 30W amplifier, a reclocker board, a capacitance multiplier board, and accessories like an acrylic “case” and a power supply. The system is running Ubuntu 12.04 with Max2Play web interface to configure the system running a SqueezeBox server, Kodi and more.

I found a few bugs during my review, but the company has now released a new firmware update that should fix many of the issues I encountered.

All items shown above will be included in the package. Note that you’ll also need a 19.5V power supply, for example from an old laptop to power the system.

To enter the draw simply leave a comment below. Other rules are as follows:

• Only one entry per contest. I will filter out entries with the same IP and/or email address.
• Contests are open for 48 hours starting at 10am (Bangkok time) every day. Comments will be closed after 48 hours.
• Winners will be selected with random.org, and announced in the comments section of each giveaway.
  
• I’ll contact the winner by email, and I’ll expect an answer within 24 hours, or I’ll pick another winner.
• Shipping
  • $24 for registered airmail small packet for oversea shipping payable via Paypal within 48 hours once the contest (for a given product) is complete.
  • If Paypal is not available in your country, you can still play, and I’ll cover the cost of sending the parcel by Sea and Land (SAL) if you win.
• I’ll post all 7 prizes at the same time, around the 10th of November
• I’ll make sure we have 7 different winners, so if you have already won a device during this giveaway week, I’ll draw another person.

Good luck!

Vana Player can be purchased for $169 on Allo website.
