I ordered an 8GB Pi 4 from CanaKit on Amazon. I'm hoping it won't be too painful to get running.
I plan to start with the Volumio distribution as it might be simplest to get running; I have downloaded the image and am waiting for a 128GB microSD card to arrive to burn it. I expect to use USB out to my DAC, and I hope to operate it with the Volumio app on my Android tablet.
I might get around to trying the piCorePlayer and/or MoOde distros.
