Well I have already said I'm not in a rush: the Quad amplification is
classic stuff and will probably outlast me, but the Beresford 7510 is
approaching 20 years old. It has had a replacement power supply, but
sooner or later it will fail. It is not a top notch DAC by current
standards, but it is good enough for my purposes.But then you say

Well I have already said I hardly use the Windows Desktop anymore, but
it is using more electricity than a Pi would use to run LMS better. I
don't even have a monitor attached to the PC anymore and have to Remote
Desktop in. If it decides to upgrade or otherwise get itself into a
Windows frenzy, Remote Desktop stops working and I haven't a clue what's
going on.  It's 15 years old and, and even though it has a recent SSD,
it struggles with Windows 10 in its latest upgrade - time to be rid.

And you got rid of the big ATCs - buckets of tears. In my Nicosia house
I have the flagship MB Quart towers (no longer made) - it will be a sad
day when they have to go.

In Nicosia: Delete Quad 77 and Neutron 4 and insert Quad 405-2 and MB
