RE: So, a few Questions .............

No, still on the 3B. I'm not having any dropouts though. I was playing 24/384 and DSD256 just now and everything came through just fine. I'm not using the wired ethernet either, just the wifi, and it is battery powered. I don't know if that would eliminate any internal noise generated. I think I get more background noise from the AC that is running in my upstairs bedroom than I can hear from the system.
I was curious about the RPi4 though, but I already have more Pi's than I need.
One question I have though is that one of the tracks showed up as wave 32/384 but played at 24/384. I thought the E30 could handle 32 bits, but maybe not some other part of my chain? I'm using DLNA and maybe that is limited, or the RPi itself is limited? Something is. I'll have to direct connect it again to my iMac to see if I can get 32 bit to play. It isn't important though, I only have the one track and there isn't much out there except some demos.
And one other thing too, DSD256 sounds incredible. It just sounds "right".
