In Reply to: RE: Raspberry Pi/HiFiBerry is on its way.... posted by soundchekk on March 23, 2017 at 23:56:02
was a SS Sherwood from Pacific Stereo... Quadraflex speakers? No, I went with something smaller and cheaper. ;-)
I moved on from there.
The HiFiBerry bundle is a shade over $100. I've got cables I don't use anymore that cost more than that, but it's a start, and that includes the latest model Raspberry Pi. If I can get all this to work, and figure out how to get LMS up on my network and all my streaming services going, upgrades are easy. And if it all works as I hope, a uRendu in the main system is also a possibility. Who knows?
John Swenson is a long time acquaintance (met him at VSAC over a decade ago when his focus was more on tubes) in the local DIY community here in Northern California. He's a great guy, and has done a great service to the computer audiophile community with the uRendu. It would be great to have a product in my system has his finger-prints on it.

As long as you're not commercial you'll be a great guy.
As soon as u become commercial you're facing conflicts

I do consider all his products much too expensive.
Fortunately, I do.
"Fortunately, I do."
That explains everything. Geez.
Enjoy your "friendships".

You have a problem with an audio hobbyist having friends in the sector?
In your strange little world, is it ethically improper for music critics to have musicians or even (shock, horror) recording engineers as friends, for literary critics to know writers and publishers and so on? Should they cut their "trade" friends off when they get a job? Who's to pick the moment? You?
Me? I think Ivan's fortunate in his friends.

"Friends" and "friends" - there are differences.
Some people are collecting them like trophies.
Some people are kind of worshiping them.
Some people try to elevate themselves by having (and talking about) this or that "friend"
Some people don't realize that they might be used by this or that "friend".
...
Fair enough.
U know. Sometimes less is more.
I'm quite happy in "my strange little world"'- with a few "real" friends.
Enjoy.
