In Reply to: Digi+ Pro is in the house... posted by Ivan303 on April 14, 2017 at 11:57:53:
a $10 difference in price really sound?So I popped out the el-cheapo $34.90 HiFiBerry Digi+ (Amateur) transformer board and replaced it with the Digi+ Pro.
Of course I screwed it up and it would not go at all. When I fiddled with it a bit it ran but made no sound (yes I changed the Audio Output settings in PcP to HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro and re-booted, several times in fact).
So back to the bench (OK, kitchen table, but who's watching?) and completely disassembled and reassembled it. Hooked it up again but this time set the PcP to 'analog audio' rebooted, hooked up some cheap cans to the headphone jack and 'music' played. Set PcP to HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro, rebooted and...
ROCK 'N ROLL!
OK, $10 improvement, for sure.
Certainly not WORSE.
NOT DARK and if 'jaydacus' got something that sounds bunches better, please share and don't tell me it's ROON because I've heard ROON on other folk's systems and it's no better than JRiver and in most cases not as good.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
