Hi

[LC1979]

Hello.
I am a music lover, but not quite an audio enthusiast in the sense that many here are: I am often seeking ways of improving my listening experience, but I do not have a lot of spare cash with which to buy hi-fi equipment! Hence I am always looking for the best value options, the best bang for buck. I think I have achieved pretty good results using the following: FLAC and high bitrate MP3 on Raspberry Pi with Moode Audio player (have also tried Volumio and Rune), IQAudio DAC+ HAT board, SMSL SA-60 D-class amp, 20 year old QUAD 77-10L bookshelf speakers (by Spendor). Looking forward ot learning from the folk here, and hopefully contributing to a few threads.
Cheers,
Luke

Thanks both, I've been dipping into the forum over the years and just registered in order to post a question on one of the Pi threads. Looking forward to being a bit more active where I have anything to contribute :)

I listen mainly to genres such as jazz, blues, rock, folk, classical, so called modern classical and ambient-type stuff. I used to be fanatical about reggae and hip-hop too, so they feature big in my collection, though I listen to them less exclusively than I did at one time!

I plan to upgrade my DAC soon, and also probably one or both of my power supplies (trying to work out whether Pi or amp will give most benefit), but then I am going to try to resist the urge to tinker :)
