In Reply to: RE: Pi Player - Store music on SD card? USB stick? posted by AbeCollins on April 26, 2021 at 16:37:22:
I am pondering the same Q as marc_g. I figured I could pare my music collection, the part I actually listen to, to fit a 256GB storage device.
But I googled around at the "audiophile wisdom" (Pi 4-specific) and it was that it's still better not to use USB ports for music files when you're using a USB DAC. i.e. better to store music files remotely for potentially best SQ. What do you guys think of that?
I also would prefer to use a USB stick (I'm using a file server for now). Don't recall seeing much enthusiasm using an SD card for music storage, doesn't seem to be that popular. Are they too slow, or is there something about the Pi 4 SD reader that makes it unsuitable for this?
