The next step for me now was to set Volumio up too, and it's been a breeze. I am at the beginning of trying these out, but this far Volumio is has a few pluses, for instance:
- better controls for audio quality of streaming
- recognized the USB receiver immediately (WaveIO). It seems adding native support to it may be a possibility as they seem to do this very open source, so that may close the deal for me
- apparent MQA native compatibility
- seems to sound better this far (well, after just a few minutes of listening, so jury's still out)
The fact that I'm currently really only focusing on Tidal streaming may be a big factor in my determinations. This far I feel Volumio on the RPI is the alternative that will make me send the nano Win 10 computer back.
The RPI feat with the MicroSD card "multiple OS swap" setup is fantastic. I think I'll give a try to MoOde next...
