@cliveb Very good remark/question! I usually think like you. In fact, it is that I plan to install in the houses of my parents and my brother (who live quite far from my home) an equivalent solution. Today they have nothing. The natural solution would therefore be to buy a Raspberry Pi 4 if

Thank you very much for these examples. This shows that it is possible to directly mount a DAC on the Raspberry Pi 4 to listen to music. On the other hand, you have to agree to let it take dust! ;) The important thing is that it works. But is it also possible to watch videos (maybe in 4K in the

Some of the temp difference between 2 similar setups would likely be the firmware. 1) When the board was made, it could have newer firmware 2) If you booted with an updated Raspbian image, it would automatically upgrade the firmware. 3) If you ran firmware update procedures that I posted (Link

I use the Pi 4 with an IQ audio DAC+ HAT (daughter board). I find the DAC+ to have a very high specification and it's quite a bit lower in price than some of the USB DACs. It's easy to integrate into piCore as it already has a dt_overlay which is selected by the piCore GUI. The biggest issue
