Very cool !! You're having way too much fun w/o spending enough money. ;-)The BIG question:
- Will your setup be essentially the same with the uRendu and the RPi driving the same DAC over the same interface? Now that will be a fair comparison. I would love to get your opinion on how they compare soncially.

The RPi will be using its coaxial output via an RCA to BNC cable previously used with the Touch to the DAC8. The uRendu required the use of USB to S/PDIF converter where it is likewise attached to the BNC input on the DAC8. For only another $500.
So, I guess I'm really comparing a $1500 solution ($640 rendu+$400 HdPlex+$500 Audiophilleo) to the $120 Pi with Jameco linear. :)
The interesting test will be to swap out the rendu [setup] for the pi [setup].

I agree. I'd love to get E-Stat's impressions on how they compare. Technically, the microRendu is a better design and it handles DSD. But for typical 16/44.1 to 24/192 PCM, I bet the Pi sounds great.
