Sorry for missing out on the details. Yes, I am using an older DAC with no USB and only up to 44.1 support. Don't want to change my DAC. Just purchased and love it. I thought that RPi3 with Digi+Pro would eliminate the connection of the SBT to the server (RPi3) over the network. Thus, giving

Thanks for the reply. Should have mentioned. It is Tidal HIFI. I thought keeping two units together all-in-one ( Digi Pro and Raspberry) would be better than SBT connecting to Rpi3 via local network. Thanks. celo's
