I was able to hook up the HifiBerry and gave it a listen. I couldn't notice much difference between HDMI and HifiBerry, but I haven't tested this side-by-side yet. The sound is a lot better than the Pi 3.5mm jack, I have never heard my computer speakers sound so good!

I have various PiCorePlayers around the house and noticed that the sync would go out of sync very slightly, probably not even 1/8th of a beat and would sway in and out. Now the HifiBerry seems to have cured this, no swaying in and out, sounded perfectly in sync, despite only having one HifiBerry and the others are running via the Pi's 3.5mm jack. Now is this because there is reduced jitter with the HifiBerry rather than HDMI? My amp has Burr Brown DAC's, would it be better sound quality if I used the Pi's HDMI output and used the amps Burr Brown DAC's instead of the HifiBerry?
