The todays HAT modules are that well done, that there's IMO no real need for external DACs anymore.I'm still cautious as to whether or not single ended op amp designs can match the sound quality of the best balanced discrete designs, be they tube or JFET based.
I put together and made available a Touch Toolbox during those days
I benefited from a number of your suggestions and the EDO app.
edit: I revisited your comments about the Faerie Sorcerer's tweaks and noted both the "hdmi_ blanking" and "-b 20000:600000" configuration changes. Anything else you might have discovered since then?
Thanks for your suggestions!
