In Reply to: RE: Haven't tried the Pi 4 with USB as yet... posted by AbeCollins on September 14, 2020 at 19:08:22
Just to tie it all together, my Pi4 is using the wifi and going out through the USB to my Topping E30. No complaints at all. What I want to try is an expensive DAC for comparison and see if I'm missing anything beyond a big shiny box.I can carry my entire streaming setup in my pockets, power supply and all. All are flat little boxes, battery, pi in my new case, and the E30. Of course the source of all this is my 27" iMac which isn't exactly portable. I can use my iPhone as source but not in hi-res, at least not that I've found so far.

Cut-Throat has a really slick all-in-one compact Raspberry Pi setup with the DAC HAT on top. He uses an external disk with it but I'm sure it can be slimmed down even more by placing the music on a small USB thumb drive plugged into the Pi, or even on the microSD boot card.You can download hi-res to the iPhone, or even stream it real-time with a Tidal or Qobuz subscription. I run Qobuz in "offline mode" on my iPhone in my car. I download a bunch of music to the iPhone while at home with Qobuz connected via WiFi. Those files then reside locally on my iPhone. I can then play them thru my car audio system in Qobuz "off line" mode and it sounds great.
I use "offline mode" so I'm not actually streaming over my cellular data service eating into my data plan. If you have unlimited data this probably doesn't matter.

Well, you can use the Raspberry Pi as a source, I do when I travel.I can fit the Rpi, with Boss Dac attached, Power Supply and my 1.3TB (Over 5,000 Albums) in my pockets. And it will Stream Qobuz in Hi-Res easily.
