I thought of using my old iPhone 4 with a Tascam IXJ2, but my main issue is not having a way to auto-connect when a connection to the server drops with KoalaSAN, at least this was the case last time I tried. I have used KoalaSAN with AudioBus and Boss Jock Studio for processing for mobile streams that needed it. Works pretty well. I might try some other processors that are audiobus compatible, but so many of them are not useable with VoiceOVer (a big deal to me since I am totally blind.) The Boss Jock dev put a lot of time and effort to make sure that was the case.
The IXJ2 is pretty clean at line level, gets a little noisy with lower output mics, such as the AT-822. The hotter your mic, the better off you are. I've gotten the best SNR with a set of Sound PRofessionals MS-BMC3's.
I also have a Zoom IQ5, which is a little sizzly on the high end, but has a pretty nice image especially for this kind of thing, but only works with lightning devices.

hi there,
my PI filesystem (on a HQ class 10 SDcard) is totally corrupted again, though i have put write intensive stuff into ramdisks. just after an update/upgrade. what does that mean... try another mini pc with a dedicated usb/network bus? cubox or so? any experience anybody?
i love this pi and i hate these unpredictable crashes without an obvious reason.
we'll see. since i sort of need a very mobile setup, i've bought a used iphone 4s and a tascam ixj2 preamp, where i connect my okm or primo mics too. works really nice and is the most lightweight setup i've used so far. a tiny but useful detail of the tascam preamp: it has a mini usp port for charging the phone while streaming, i.e. with an external battery.
i've tried the fancy €180 rode ixy mic too, but that needs a lot of gain, which the streaming apps (koalasan, icast pro) can't deliver. so the audio signal is very low, unusable. a pity, since this mic sounds quite nice and has a good build quality.
bests, udo
