said by a tube audio/horn speaker guy. :-)
Even my DAC uses a handful of obsolete PCM1704 DAC chips.
But to tell the truth, I don't think the Raspberry Pi/HiFi Berry to my DAC via S/PDIF is sounding better that the MacBook outputting the same music out via USB.
So there is that.
Next. everything I want to stream is on the SONOS, including QOBUZ which I am yet to find on LMS (yet, I hear it is but...).
IF the Wyred4Sound mods do everything everyone who has tried them SAYS it does, then I may be in.
Gonna try the Raspberry Pi on a 24,000 amp hour battery next.
Who know?
If it sounds as good or better that my MacBook Air, it's a keeper. So far not.

Still a bit more tipped up buy who knows, it's also a different input on my DAC and the difference is not so great.
Mass Drop pricing on the Juiced pack makes it a steal, IMNSHO.

been a rough day and you guys been hard on the old guy! ;-)
I cannot imagine living into 70s, maybe nap time?
I know it is nap time for me :)
raining here so no gym and no bike ride. I guess spending the day exercising the brain is just as good as either of those.
WAY out of shape as we've has a wet winter so very little time on the bike this winter. When you get old you CAN NOT STOP MOVING becuase there is something surely chasing you and you DON'T want whatever it is to catch up! =:-0
Again, thanks for all of your valuable help!!!
Good news is that you are not close to being 70.
Bad news is, the older you get the faster you get old.
The years will go by exponentially faster and faster until BAM!!!!!!
Your'e an old fart
Mine is immaturity, or so says my wife. ;-)
Mine is Sarcasm
I was telling Ivan303, the setup you guys use seems to be how windows used to be back in the day, that Swiss Army knife. Nowadays android seems to have taken the crown.
Sonos is an elegant system, however limited, similar to Apple it sets us a "walled garden", for streaming and playing back CD quality it is excellent. For advanced users a computer or systems similar to what you seem fit to you and many others are a good fit.
Wasn't as good as a Squeezebox Touch.

I had all generations of Squeezebox, my brother has his whole house using it, I think he has 5 of them. All he uses is my squeezebox.com
It was great, and it still is. I used to hate apple products, as I get long in the tooth I don't have too much patience for DIY unless it is easy.
I see you are a retired software dev, not everyone can figure this stuff out, when I was working I couldn't even figure out our IP phone system. And I've been using Linux since around 1996, starting with Slackware.
