was directed here from Reddit, always wanted a Pi project, looks like this is it.
Want a streamer to output to DAC at highest quality, least RF / power supply issues. Money’s not an issue, but prefer compact and simpler.
I’m not up on the details, especially connections
Toslink vs USB audio
S/PDIF vs AES/EBU vs AES-3id
BNC vs RCA
and whatever this is called
? PCM 32bit vs DSD256 ?
exactly which Pi version and HAT is the best?
Can the same Pi run the NAS-DLNA server? If not I assume wired Ethernet should connect them? My WiFi environment is very crowded noisy.
Can the same Pi host the DAC and pre-amp / headphone amp?
What about full power amp output?
I’d like a physical volume knob or button at the speaker, not just at the phone.
How best to do multi-room distribution, both syncing and / or independent streams?
Sorry for all the Q’s, feel free to be be terse, learning links would be great.
