Hi, I'm looking to purchase a Topping E30 DAC and want to hook it up to a RPI2 that I have laying around that will be connected to LAN and probably will be running piCorePlayer (but am willing to switch if other streaming programs will run better in combination)
I'm hearing contradictory messages about the pre-RPI4 USB connection ICW a USB DAC. Some say it works fine, others say the USB is insufficient.
Maybe it depends on the bitrate of the files playing? Largest bitrate files will be 129/24 Flac.
Anyone have any experience using a RPI2 with a E30 DAC connected by USB?
I've seen people recommend the Allo Digione for the RPI2 but to me it seems cheaper just to get a RPI4 then.
Anyway, I'm curious to hear people's experiences.
Thanks in advance.
