    I'm pretty sure the Pi/Boss DAC combo is as good if not better than the TQ DAC, if I remember right

    I could have that all set up ready to run for you to plug in and play with only the drive with your files needing to be linked to it.

    Let me know.
    Sounds like an offer you can't refuse.

    You will of course be running it in headless mode!

    If you can't use ethernet and you prefer not to pollute the mains with RF, this is a good alternative: https://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.co...ng-my-way.html

    From my experience, laptop into a USB converter, and then via a TOSLINK cable gives the lowest noise level.

    Another thought: if your laptop is electrically noisy, it’s possible to improve things with so-called “USB isolator” based on the ADUMx160 chipset.
