How was it all connected up Andre? The output from the 3.5mm headphone jack is quite poor....an IQAudio DAC+ or HiFiBerry board would make things a lot neater...Quote:

That *specific combination* is where I believe the magic lies, and so if the RPi is used in any other context, all bets are off, as it were! :)
Remember that the primary reason why I'm shouting from the rooftops about the RPi/IQ-Audio DAC is because of how good it sounds (and how cheap it costs), as a combination, not because it's necessarily the best or most intuitive/easy to use FBA source on the market, in terms of its function as a software device.

I think if you are using computer driven DACs of any kind, really, you are going to experience some sort of pain.
That has certainly been true using Windows 7 especially if you are using more than one s/w package for playback.
Problems are usually to do with synching issues between PC and the DAC interface and the h/w drivers being used. Plus bugs in the s/w apps. JRiver and TIDAL are both pretty good at not being too buggy, though.
After that brief interlude back to PI...
Don't worry neal i know what im doing ;)Quote:

I realise I've had my eye off the Raspberry Pi ball recently, and have no time now to catch up.
Marco - did you get the battery yet? I presume not, cos if you had I doubt I could have avoided noticing. Get your finger out - you'll love it ;)
RPi mates with TDA1541A! :D :eyebrows:

In that respect, I like the one from RS Supplies, shown here: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/power-banks/7757517/
And this one from XT Power: https://www.xtpower.de/XTPower-Power...o-mit-10000mAh
Any other suggestions are welcome.

I'm using this battery Marco...Quote:

Oooh.... That does look rather nice! Cheers, Will :thumbsup:
