Is it possible to somehow have 1 x Pi and 2 x  AMPS?

Is this a crazy idea?

 

It would be great for MultiSqueeze

  Hi Konrad,

  while the idea is not crazy, it is not feasible. The Raspberry Pi I2S sound interface supports only 2 channels. You can't use multiple cards on the same Raspberry Pi. This is a limitation of the SOC and the GPIO design.

  Best regards

  But would it be possible to keep 2 channels and bridge each of the amps for driving inefficient loudspeakers?

  No, this is also not possible. The Amp+ isn't designed for this use case.

  Best regards,
