is rc2 what you had in mind. If you are not afraid of diy, the dddac 1794 nos seems good to, or even better (but expansive), a jundac two kit with waveio board and good low jitter clock (like an audio-gd jz-1). Hope we stay in touch! The iFi wins on all levels as it also directly powers your usb dac and ignores the usb power from the pi on the USB outputs, only passes the signal through. It is the best sounding streamer that I have ever heard." and for the records, I do not see other claims of modi working.just here. Added dual low jitter oscillators(45.158M and 49.152M) to support more exact sample rate clocks. http://slopjong.de/2011/08/20/unmute-the-sound-card-using-the-alsa-utils/.

The 3.5mm stereo jack … I consider this as a contender for the Dragonfly DAC. I cannot imagine something more flexible out there. and “guessing” is not enough. 3. usb power output of the iFI iUSB power supply using a cheap 1 euro micro usb cable to the pi. It aims to fully integrate Mpd into current debian realeases and to optimize it for Audiophile-quality music playback. A build, based on a Raspberry Pi, that could play my ripped CD collection. just to make sure: I downloaded rc2 and made everything right. I’ve dreamt a lot about owning this DAC.

The Durio Sound modules look like the best designed ones out there. It costs slightly more but guess is worth the extra bucks… I suggest to give it a proper external psu and it will do pretty good for the money it costs…. In the medium price dac list I’m missing the hrt streamer II and hrt streamer II+. As for the other things you say, I do perfectly agree with you. Master mode is the best for Raspberry Pi when we adopt I2S connection. NanoSound DAC is a Raspberry Pi Add-on Board with HiFi Audio DAC, LDO Voltage Regulator, OLED Display, Power Switch, Control Buttons and Infrared Remote.. If you need to get Spdif out out of Raspberry Pi, or any other device relying on USB  just buy it. I wasted my money, because the reseller was right. But this has an advantage over it’s famous competitor: it can eventually be fed with an external psu (external PSU will improve dramatically audio quality, not relying on Pi’s polluted DC, and releaving you from buying a good psu for the pi itself). A really great choice is also audio-gd dac, especially all versions with pcm1704uk inside, this is probably the best dac chip. On Raspberry Pi Device B, there is only one Polyfuse left (the other two have been removed) – this one Polyfuse now limits the total System Power (including all USB devices) to 1.1 Amps. We (3 guys) listened via nubert nuline 284 http://www.nubert.de/nuline-284/p1114/?category=82. Take it as a statement. By … Someone please direct me to a USB to S/PDIF convertor/DAC that has been tested BIT PERFECT and I will be very happy I don’t care about anything other than the S/PDIF output. CHEERS! So, again, David, is a pleasure to have you here. sudo aplay -l, [email protected]/* GET IT ON EBAY'); // ]]> -Boxed and ready to play This is one of the most interesting DAC available today, an async USB DAC as compact and as good sounding is difficult to find, you’ll read about the only contender later on… At all. The implementation seems very good on paper. so that’s why… but wait: do that: If you wish to feed it with a custom PSU, instead of USB’s DC, you can. Please paste the command Most Raspberry Pi kits come with everything you need to build one, with the exception of a mouse, keyboard, or monitor.

The Tentlabs heater supply has slightly better transients and more bass, but sounds more aggressive to my ears. I don’t know about linux audio drivers, but I need my Benchmark DAC1 to get FLAC audio via S/PDIF without the data being changed in anyway, re-sampled, volume adjusted or any other horror. the point is: the reseller itself in the uk does say that it is not suitable for linux. -Compatible with RaspyFi out of the box      Get it on // // ]]> I have a second-hand Schiit Modi DAC which is not recognised by my Raspberry Pi 2. I now use it for listening to music at work, mostly .ogg at 320+kbps rips and some .flac, and find that over the inbuilt sound card on the laptop it add’s clarity and greater separation and for the money am really happy with it! Also audio-gd are know to be extremly well made. Looking forward to your consultation! Since it's digital audio, it sounds really good, much better than the onboard analog audio.

It is not a PSU issue either: I used 1 and 2 Amp with right voltage. Widely Application It can work with various versions of the Pi, and the size of the board is designed to perfectly fit the Zero / Zero W / Zero WH. Clive Meakins - Enjoy … This kit has a 3.5mm stereo jack pre-assembled but doesn't include a dual RCA phono connector. This DAC is well known, and its sound is recognized to be one of the best nowadays. HiFiBerry’s new DAC+ DSP (£60/ $80) hopes to take Raspberry Pi audio to another level, bringing digital signal processing (DSP) to a reasonably priced DAC (digital-to-analogue converter).
