Update: I found a nice offer on Amazon, and bought the Topping D10S. The idea was to try it, and return it back if I could not hear any improvement. Well, yesterday, right after dinner, I installed it with my Raspberry/Moode audio setup, configured it and started to play music. It took not more...

Hello all, Few updates: a friend of mine gave me a DAC hat for free, since he doesn't need it anymore. It is a PiFi DAC+. I know this has been reviewed here, and got really bad scores; but there is also few post and a site that explain how to modify it to improve its SQ. Actually it sports a...

Stupid question: What about using a USB-C Dongle as a DAC for my amplfier? I mean, could I connect a USB-C Dongle to my Raspberry PI4, and then route its output to my Amplifier? I just read the Amir's review of Apple USB-C Dongle; it happens my daughter owns one, I still have to search for it...

Thank you for the suggestion, I checked it. Nice system, but you need a separate device for the Roon Core; since you cannot run it on a Raspberry, the only other device I could use for the Roon Core is my Linux Server. Unfirtunately, I don't want to install Roon Core onto my server, since I'd...

In the last few days, I tried Volumio and Moode Audio, and I decided in the end for the latter. It has everything I need: - Local and remote media library management - Integrated NAS (I can use the spare part of the USB disk as a networked backup volume) - Can work as a bluetooth renderer...

I really like the topping D10s, I already read the amir's review. But, is it supported by Moode Audio? I can't find it in the supported DAC list in the GUI; but maybe the list is only for I2S DACs. Are the USB DACs supported natively by Linux (Raspbian), so Moode Audio sees them as system audio...

Hello, Thank you for your answer. Yes, I'm in Europe, I'm Italian, to be more specific. I will check Audiophonics for sure, thank you. I will also evaluate the WiFi route for the media library; I already have a Linux Server running om the home net, so I could use that one as a media server, too.

Hallo all, I'm a new member, but a long time reader of the forum. I really appreciate what Amirm does here. Chapeau! Well, I decided to register and write here because I'd like your help. I have a Raspberry PI4 (and few Raspberry3) I'd like to transform into a music player. I intend to use...
