"humble Pi...." nicely said Abe!
I too get my back up when someone spends thousands and berates kits or components at "giant killer" pricing. And many times it can be agressively vice-versa.
So long as a buyer does some research, they can decide what's better for them.
I've been taking special interest in these topics because I have yet to move to newer technology.
I don't do any streaming. Nor playing digital files from anything decent (an old laptop... ugh). Still playing Cd's on my transport/dac.
Nice to know excellent sound will be available when I'm ready to forge on.
Likely Pi-5 at the rate I'm going!
Cheers!
