OK, sorry I

What makes you think it would? The network connection is a buffered,
bit-perfect path, and actually might pose less of a load on the

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

That is exactly what I am saying, Tidal's so

No reason why it should be better - the higher clock rate processor in
the RPi probably generates more noise than the one in the SBT (for
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.

I want to try this but how do I stream Tidal? Can the BubbleUPNP server
let me stream Tidal? Or other server?
I don't listen to any local files. Just streaming.
I have SBT as my streamer and I have no reason to replace it other than
to try something new.
I currently run the LMS via MaxPlay2

There are also good reasons why it could be possible with (some) DACs
that are sensitive to
I can repeatedly tell blind the difference between optical and coax
S/PDIF into my DAC1.
I'm aware of the good reasons this ought not to be possible. But I can
do it.

I got mine running on a Raspi3 with Max2Play at the moment , I may
switch to DietPi later .
I'm going to have tonigths listening on my new digi+ :)
Initial impression ,no glitches or skips or whatnot will try sync
between another PI later to see if that turns up any issues.
It's probably
But I am just comparing it to the Duet. I am feeding an old Cambridge
Audio DacMagic.
I would be interested if you think you can hear a difference between the
optical output and the RCA. It seems to sound more defined but I have
old ears & it could be the placebo effect:rolleyes:
The same
Well, I wonder what Archimago would think about the waterbubbles that
are controlled by the linear power. Archimago wrote a great review about
the Dac+ Pro, so I do wonder why the video reviewer thought the normal
sound of it was so horrible and that the linear power created a great
audiophile
I wanted to get a Pi to run LMS so I decided on the Pro since it wasn't
much more money.
It sounds better than my Duet optical out. But after reading their
description I decided to run the RCA out because they pointed out it was
what made a difference(output transformer), plus you need to ground
I didn't get a Digi+ Pro, but just got HiFiBerry's DAC+ standard up and
running this afternoon. Added it to the Raspberry Pi 3 I got for
Christmas.
Made myself a little basement system with my aged LS3/5a clones and was
very impressed with the improved sound quality of this DAC. Much better
Thanks, I am ( thanks to a friendly board member) gonna give the Pro a
try.
