For anyone looking for an alternative to Hifi berry that still uses a pi:
USB Dac (eg. from schiit, or toppings). You can get great ones for $100 or drool-worthy ones for thousands... the input is digital so (with some exceptions) they all work well with a cheap pi connected to internet.
- dTal 6y agoI use a cheapy USB soundcard that cost about as much as a soup and sandwich. Sounds totally fine, but it has TOSLINK output too so the DAC hardly gets used anyway. I don't understand why anyone would spend hundreds or thousands on media players and soundcards. Save it for the amp/speakers!
