Aune X8. My overview.

did you compare the usb cleaner to DAC from pi vs the Ian Canada setup? Iam considering to get a Ian Canada reclocker

Yes, they sound similar, maybe the streamer is slightly better. But take it with a pinch of salt, as my amplifier and speakers are not very good. The dac itself is pretty basic I'd say.

yeah, if you have an ian canada transport with clocks and power both the Pi and the Aune with LPS, I think you probably maxed out the DAC. I am alos looking at my room and building some speakers. you can see here https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/building-slowly-troels-gravesen-discovery-861.430707/
