because we haven't discussed this issue NEARLY enough...

It seems the uRendu has Gigabit Ethernet input while the Raspberry Ri is 10/100?

Guessing the Raspberry Pi HiFi Berry edition may not support 512 DSD either but I really don't care.

I think a far better comparison regards the value of the Raspberry Pi HiFi Berry combo would be to compare it to a SBT, which it clearly replaces and isn't that what everyone who loves the SBT has been hoping for?

As far as sound quality, I see no real way of an 'apples vs. apples' comparison as the uRendu is USB and the HiFi Berry output is S/PDIF - TOSLINK. At least from my perspective, I'd be comparing two different inputs to my DAC, one of which would be going through the USB > I2S circuitry the other not?

But again, it's something we certainly have NOT discussed in NEARLY enough detail. ;-)

First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass

HiFi Berry can also output I2S - Bas Horneman 08:14:09 03/17/17 (15)

The HifiBerryDigi+ Pro reclocks the I2S - Bas Horneman 08:24:48 03/22/17 (1)

PS. I have the 1.2 version which uses a seperate 3,3v regulator - Bas Horneman 05:32:12 03/23/17 (0)

it all depends on the implementation - fmak 01:10:53 03/18/17 (0)
