Thanks, 3 question:
1) If I'm using Spotify Connect exclusively for my streaming, do I need to mess with Play Fi at all if I take the raspberry pi out of the loop? That is can I just go from Spotify on my phone and choose PlayFi running Spotify Connect as the output and stay in the Spotify app?
2) How do you switch to the analog turntable input? Is this using the Play Fi app?
3) What happens to music that was hanging off the Raspberry Pi on a usb connected drive I was accessing through Volumio if I take Raspberry Pi out of the loop?
Seems like the suggestion to get one and play with the various scenarios is a good one, given the flexibility of analog and digital inputs.
I have a similar setup and only use Play-Fi to switch input between analog (phono preamp) and optical (WiiM streamer) inputs
