Wish I would have seen this earlier, as I just purchased two RPi 4s. One is setup as a headless music server (they are perfect for that) and the second as a pi-hole for ad blocking and will also configure to be an AirPlay receiver. RPIs are great little tools.

I remembered seeing this post a while ago when I spotted this today: https://drop.com/buy/f-audio-am01-headphone-amp As an SP200 owner, I can say there are some definite differences, but the physical resemblance is pretty striking. SP200 only has 1/4” and XLR output, and no 3.5 input either...

I like that solution. It elevates headphones to the level of fine art, which is really where they belong.

Very cool thread. There is a lot of good stuff here to listen to and explore. The love and appreciation for music and sound quality is what keeps me coming back to this forum. I’ll throw my hat into the ring here with a few that I have recently discovered: Tunng - Songs You Make at Night...
