I think the Pi can be a bit system dependant tbh, to fulfil its potential. I have heard mine in different systems and its sounded different each time. There are also a lot of programs and differing settings that can make or break it

Are you on a wind up? Something wrong in the system? Get a grip on yourself man. We're talking about a 15 quid dongle thing here.... The point is it sounds excellent through a pair of very honest amps and my speakers.There must have been something wrong with your source in the fist place if the CA streamer sounds that good especially while controlling the volume from a phone
Now go take your backhanded banter and chase yerself.

Anyway, these were just initial comments of it using a cheap cable in a 2 minute lash up.
I'm away for a few days with work but for my next trick I'll connect it to a Benchmark DAC, which takes no prisoners with a sloppy source, and we'll see what's what. I just need to find my mini toslink adapter.

Could do Brian. How well it would work of course would depend upon there being decent WiFi at the venue.
