[QUOTE="Wietsche, post: 873686, member: 18941"] Oh yes, I did not mention, but you can always use the Raspberry Pi USB port as well with any external DAC, for starters. Just note there are some issues with the Pi USB in terms of bandwidth and possible power noise. So if you don't play music files over 192khz (to be safe let's say keep it at CD quality) and use a clean power supply or USB power isolator, you should have no issues for the starting setup you are looking at, using just a standalone Pi. It's then easy to upgrade as you find the issues and bottlenecks along your journey, and even just decide to go with a different route without big losses. But it is definitely possible to start small and cheap with low risk beginning with a Pi setup. If you need to buy a Pi and power supply, look at PiShop.co.za. And I can reccomend to at least just buy the Allo 5v power supply they have, instead of the official Pi power supply they usually put with the kits. Or even use a power bank. The official power supply is no good for audio. Cheers, W Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
