Build guide

Build a Waxcode DVS box

A Raspberry Pi with two audio boards on top. About £200 in parts.

What to buy

Steps

  1. 01

    Stack the boards

    The DAC8x onto the Pi's GPIO header, then the ADC8x onto the DAC8x.

  2. 02

    Write the card

    Download the image. In Raspberry Pi Imager choose “Use custom”, select the file, and write.

  3. 03

    Boot it

    Card in, power on. The first boot takes a few minutes.

  4. 04

    Connect the audio

    Turntables into ADC8x ports 1 and 2. DAC8x ports 3 and 4 into two line channels on your mixer. If your turntables are phono level, run ports 1 and 2 into the same channels' phono inputs too.

  5. 05

    Pair the app

    Put a USB stick of music in the Pi, open the app, and tap your Waxcode DVS.
