Folks looking for some advice.

I run a cheapo acer lap top with all my CDs ripped lossless utilising fubar as a player (thanks Gary!)

Spotify premium for streaming-my son installed an app that lets me control the lap top with a HP tablet.

Im using a very short usb cable (lavri) and TQ Claymore DAC.

Would a Rpi with suitable power supply (linear?) out perform the lap top?

Can I get a PI that lets me output usb to the dac and if possible utilise my lossless music from a memory stick.

Im a computer numptie that was using a long usb with the laptop for years-to great effect....the remote operation with the tablet frees me up to experiment.

Whats yer thoughts folks?
