    I’ve been thinking about getting a thin client or similar for Hi-Res music listening for a while. I tried a Raspberry Pi 3b+ and the music sounded harsher and would crackle as soon as the Pi was doing anything else at the same time.

    Having my PC on all day in summer is a bit overwhelming.

      I have an external DAC, so I don’t need to think about how good music the PC/Raspberry/… produces.

        I also have an external DAC (SMSL DO100), but the Pi struggled feeding it data.

          That’s weird, was it over usb or something else? I mean it’s not very much data to be sent.

            Yes, over USB. And the DAC works perfectly fine on my PC.
