Open source AES67 hardware receiver/decoder

An open source hardware receiver/decoder for AES67 audio-over-IP, built so speakers can connect over Ethernet using an open, inexpensive stack, with a focus on solving the tight timing and synchronization requirements of networked audio.

01 / The problem

What it addresses

Physics and timing are brutal for networked audio — 1 ms synchronization is roughly not enough — and speakers lack open, inexpensive stacks for Ethernet connectivity.

    “an open source AES67 hardware receiver/decoder - based on my friend Jessie's work [0]. I want speakers to have ethernet ports and to use an open/inexpensive stack. it's hard because physics/timing are brutal (1ms sync is ~not enough), but that's what makes it a great problem.”
