The raspberry Pi audio jack has very poor sound quality. Duet receivers are equipped with Wolfson DAC's very appreciated in hi-fi equipment for their warm and precise sound. HifiBerry is only required for surround sound or anything exceeding the standard CD 44.100 hz / 16 bit audio sampling frequency. If your aim is stereo playback from flac, mp3 or aac files then Duet Receivers are more than adequate and significantly better than 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
