The raspberry Pi audio jack output is of very poor quality even for compressed audio. The Duet receiver has a Wolfson DAC, well appreciated in hifi equipment for the warm and precise musical sound. HifiBerry DAC is only required for surround sound or anything better than standard audio CD quality over 44.100 hz / 16 bit. So if your aim is stereo playback in flac, mp3 or acc then Duet Receivers are more than adequate and significantly better than the standard raspberry Pi jack audio output. 2 x Squeezebox Classic Squeezebox Duet Dell XPS 8930 Synology DS214-Play Vintage Audio : Quad 405 and 606, JBL Studio Monitors 4412A & 4408A, B&W DM6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ B1tbull's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114142 _______________________________________________ Duet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/duet
