There was this new DAC announced and is already on sale: 'HiFiberry Dac & ADC' (https://www.hifiberry.com/build/documentation/datasheet-dac-adc/?utm_campaign=website&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_medium=mail)
Might be an easy solution to streaming vinyl from my turntable, if I read 'this' (https://www.hifiberry.com/build/guides/integrate-analoge-audio-devices-into-your-multi-room-system/). So I have some questions about using it with PCP as it needs at least Linux kernel 4.18 and drivers. PCP seems to be on 4.14 and the DAC will not work with it. Also it misses the input drivers I think. bpa pointed me to this thread for answers regarding the implementation of input-drivers into PCP and updating the kernel. I quote him and ask: Will there be a solution for this DAC to use with PCP? bpa wrote: > > The drop down is the list of OUTPUT DACS - just because the DAC is > supported does not mean the ADC is also supported.
