Volumio Introduces Motivo Flagship Streamer, Transport and Headphone Amp

Volumio, the Italian company that created the popular free music player, continues to invest in hardware and now announced the launch of a new flagship streamer and music player with a focus on user interface. Crafted to redefine the music experience, the Motivo streamer stands out with its 8" IPS multitouch display, being an integrated streamer\headphone amplifier based on the established ESS Sabre 9038 DAC and offering multiple I2S, USB, and S/PDIF digital outputs.

Microchip Technology launched a new maXTouch Knob on Display (KoD) controller, the first automotive-grade touchscreen controller family to natively support the detection and reporting of capacitive rotary encoders, as well as mechanical switches on top of a touch panel. Unlike traditional mechanical rotary encoders, this new technology enables the mounting of the knob directly onto the display without an opening in the panel or any customization of the touch pattern, increasing design flexibility.

Keysight Technologies announced the new Infiniium 8-channel oscilloscope technology. Keysight's Infiniium EXR-Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes include eight models ranging from 500 MHz to 2.5 GHz and either 4 or 8 channels with wide-ranging upgradeability. The EXR-Series' waveform update rate is >200,000 waveforms/sec., allowing it to quickly build eye-diagrams capturing 5.7 Million UIs. Powerful and intuitive, the new oscilloscope series reduces test bench and workflow complexity.
