Hello all, I'm new to this forum and want some advice.
I am thinking about putting together a device so that I can play the high quality music files on my network drive and stream audio to my stereo system. My price point is up to about $200. I am thinking about using a Raspberry Pi with a touch-screen and the Boss 12S DAC V 1.2
1 Does this hardware selection seem reasonable or are there better options for this price point? I also considered the HiFi Berry DAC, but I sense that the Boss may be somewhat better.
2 Software suggestions? Will the software be compatible with the RPi touch screen? I have looked at Roon, but I'm not thrilled about the subscription fees. What open source software would you recommend
3 Power supply? The quality significance of the power supply appears to be a controversial issue
