Howdo All
Given my room/budget etc I'm more than happy with my current rig. You lot steered me well on the speakers and DAC. And after a bit of buying, selling and demoing I've finally found an amplification solution that works well in my awkward room (glass down one side, L shaped, kitchen off to other side).
The only area I'm not entirely satisfied with is how I'm feeding my DAC.
Currently, i have a Surface Pro 4 sending Qobuz into my DAC. The screen of which is an absolute nightmare (look up Flickergate, its a whole sorry story) so I'm looking at options to replace it.
I know lots of folk use R Pi as streamers. So, I'm thinking that's probably my best cost to performance solution (meaning I can buy a desktop pc for all other computing needs).
However, my hifi is nowhere near my router; meaning wireless comes into play.
I've seen various ways of using a Pi, various software solutions and numerous physical makeups.
Can anyone advise me on my best options?
Is WiFi possible without sacrificing fidelity?
Is it a headless solution?
Do I need hdmi to the TV?
Etc etc
I'm sure there will be a thread or website that someone might be able to point me to, but so far I'm just uncovering too many similar methods that I don't have the experience to identify the best from.
Much obliged.
Current set up:
Revel Concerta2 M16
Topping D90
Musical Fidelity A3cr Pre and Power Amps
Windows Surface Pro 4 (though I may stamp it to death any minute)
