On behalf of all sane Americans, I am so sorry we suddenly unleashed the Donald on an unsuspecting world.
Okay, with that out of the way, I have been an audio enthusiast for a long time and about 4-5 years ago, I got rid of my expensive gear and focused on getting great sound from budget friendly equipment. It's just more fun that way and I don't need a second mortgage to pay for my hobby
I read about the Raspberry Pi based dacs and streamers a few months ago and have tried a couple of boards. I am still tinkering and learning. This forum had a lot of useful Rpi info for me so I decided to stop lurking and sign up.
I primarily listen to classical and old school jazz with a bit of blues, folk and Americana sprinkled in. My main system includes KEF R700, Jolida 3502 power amp, Cary/Audio Electronics AE-3 preamp and a Technics SL1210mk2 deck with a Jelco 750D arm. My digital front end is still a work in progress.
Cheers!
