Big clunky desktops are big and noisy and energy consuming so using one as player, nah. Diffrent is the word not better . IF you got a narrow fixation on audio performance they do the "same" here the word is equal , but in small energy efficient package . PI's can be built together with multiple kinds of dacs or external spdiff or USB dacs or digital ouput boards endless possibilities . Just as you can equip a desktop with USB dacs different soundcards etc . So the PI can act as a hardware squeezebox or/and as a tiny server you dump in the closet . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
