RE: Raspberry Pi 4 vs. 3B+ first impression

Posted by zacster on September 9, 2020 at 05:18:18:
I'll give MoOde a try, I haven't tried that yet. I use the RPi with Volumio as an endpoint for UPnP/DLNA, I don't have a NAS or use the radio features. My server is the iMac I'm currently typing on running Audirvana with Qobuz as my main music source. There is no wire to the RPi, just power in, usually from a battery but I screwed up the adapter purchase, and USB out to the Topping E30. I think that NOT having the wired ethernet in the Pi alleviates the issue on the 3 with the USB and Ethernet sharing the bus, and that is what the 4 fixed too, the shared bus.

This is all theoretical though, what matters is what combination sounds the best. From my experience though the power supply is what matters the most, and then it is the PS to the DAC more than to the Pi. The nice thing is that all of this is cheap to experiment with until you find the combo that sounds best to you!
