Friends,
This is my first post in this forum. I have searched through this forum, and have read Amir's measurements on these three.
I have a Parasound Integrated Amplifier (the previous generation). I currently use an RPI 4 to stream from a NAS to my Parasound using USB. I have an iFi iPower powering my RPI 4. I run Moode Audio on my RPI and love the versatility of Airplay and Bluetooth. I have all of my audio files (24/192 and 16/44.1) on an nVME SSD attached to the RPI.
a) If I wanted to improve the audio quality of my source, which HAT would you recommend - the DigiOne, the DigiOne signature or the PecanPi? I understand that the PecanPi does not have any digital output and that it becomes my DAC, replacing the Parasound as the DAC.
b) How does the PecanPi as a DAC compare to the Parasound? If any of you have any experience here, I would love to hear.
Thank you very much for helping out!!

p.s: I have an Oppo 105D as well which I also use as a streamer (albeit rarely) to feed my Parasound using coax, but since it lacks Airplay and requires me to turn on my TV (projector), I hardly use this.
