Hi Jon T
The Raspberry Pi 3 (or 4) is an upgrade over a Receiver, no doubt about that and the CPU is much more powerful, but - there are a couple of details ... First, the Raspberry Pi needs an OS, like piCorePlayer, which in turn is much more powerful and better than what the Receiver has/can do. For example you can apply upsampling. Second, the Raspberry Pi has a mini-jack analog output that sounds bad, so for the sound to be better than the Receiver you'll need to use the digital output (to an external DAC) or a DAC HAT module. Even the lower-end DAC HATs will give you a sonic improvement over the Receiver. Here's my story with a Raspberry Pi and one of the available DAC's: http://www.cfuttrup.com/touch_upgrade.html /Claus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cfuttrup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32784 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111671 _______________________________________________ Duet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/duet
