I used the USB output from a Pi3 to a Caiman SEG a few years ago and it worked fine but the Allo Digione Pro SPDIF was better. I replaced the SEG with a Topping D90 and the Pi3 with a Pi4 and spent...

DACs with an RCA input are few and far between, if they exist at all. If your OPPO has a digital out (Coax or Optical) you could feed that into a DAC, thus freeing-up RCA inputs on your Croft. You...

I had this problem. It is to do with the PERL update on Synology and Pinkdot who was maintaining the Synology LMS versions has stopped doing so. If you have a Synology that has an Intel processor...

All I can say is that more than 10 years ago I went from using an expensive Linn CD player to streaming music from a Squeezebox to an early Beresford DAC and have never looked back. Perhaps your...

I had the SEG and Dorado and got good results but it also depends on the quality of what you are feeding it with I.e. the coaxial or optical output from your CD player, USB from a laptop etc. There...

I have a D90. It is very good. I currently use USB input and Bluetooth, which is surprisingly good and family friendly. I have a Pi2AES on order to try out AES and I2S inputs which are supposed to...

Thanks, good to know.

I have had a Topping D90 for 4 or 5 months now. It really is very good but I am feeding it via USB (and a reclocker and some expensive cables) from an Asus Tinkerboard, which was better than the Pi4...

I have a CISCO switch that takes a 12v DC supply, so I use a battery. It also very stable.

The area very good value cables to connect to a USB capable DAC. I found them to be much better than the Oiyade NEO cable. I have now upgraded, so no longer needed. 0.5m and 1.5m available, both...

Its very small, not much bigger than a matchbox.

I have a Topping D90. It is very good, took time to burn in and further benefits from good USB cables and a reclocker if your budget will stretch - I use the Oehlbach. It also has XLR outputs. I...

The SEG is better than the 7520 but really comes into its own with the Dorado at 15V and Stans supercaps mod.

Sorry, I think you would have to ask Stanley questions like that. You can PM him.

I would get the Supercaps upgrade before trying 15v. For me, the Dorado only really made a difference compared to a 12V battery when used at 15V. If you get the Dorado, you can feed it with the...

I used my Ankaka battery to output 16V to the Dorado to give 15V to my SEG. That seemed to work well except each time I turned the battery on it would reset to 12V output. Now sold-on.

Interesting. From what I have read, the 8GB and 4GB versions are identical except for RAM. The 4GB version seems to be using swap space on the disk when running LMS. Perhaps, the 8GB version does...

Yes, PCP is PiCorePLayer

You can also under-clock in Volumio on the RPI by editing the config.txt file on the SD-Card. There are details about it for the RPI3 on the Volumio thread on The Audio...

The RPI4 has a better USB and, if you underclock it, is pretty good. However, it is slower to reboot than the RPI3 with PCP, for reasons unknown to me.

Someone suggested the 8GB version sounds...

I have two Pangea Premier Audio USB cables for sale, they are both Type A-male to Type-B male cables. One is 0.5m, the other 1.5m. Both are around 6-months old purchased from Audiophonics and come...

I have a Topping D90 which is a big step-up from my previous DAC, a modded Beresford Caiman SEG with Dorado PSU.

Damn, I have a spare RPI4 (4GB) that I had been using with PiCorePlayer as a streamer (over USB) but replaced it with an Asus Tinkerboard. As an experiment, I recently tried it running LMS and a...
