Core Audio is the audio layer of OS X so you can't bypass it. What you can bypass is the system mixer which down/upsamples everything to the samplerate set in audio/MIDI Config. Vox (like most players) has a setting for that called Exclusive Access. This allows the player to send audio in the...

Stick to mechanical drives for a more analog sound.

Does it play 8-track tapes?

Most MP3's are 44khz (sample rate) and 16bit (bith dept). Where they differ from CD is the bitrate: 1,411.2 kbit/s for 44/16 uncompressed audio down to max 320 kbit/s for MP3.

Yes, you can install it as any regular software package on Raspbian: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=128121.0

I had JRiver (controlled with JRemote) on a Mac Mini i5 and now on a Pi4. The Pi handles it just fine with 2 to 3% CPU load when playing music from memory and a 15% load when decoding into memory. JRemote is just as responsive as it was with the Mac Mini. Downside is you have to install JRiver...

Does the parts list make sense or would you pick different components for "the job"? Yes Will the Raspi be able to run the display AND the Topping E30 using the single Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply? Or should I use a separate Powersupply for the DAC instead of pulling the power from the...
