    I’m genuinely very happy with the quality of Spotify and I love the usability of the App. It is for background music as for listening proper I will play vinyl.

    Thanks for posting the link though, looks like the clarification is there that I can use a Pi with my DAC. I’m not entirely sure what Volumio is though, is that an operating system which I would use rather than Windows/Linux?

    I have an M2Tech Young DAC (the original and prettiest one) so getting something like a Mac Mini is out as the Apple OS isn’t compatible. I fully expect a Raspberry Pi to be recommended but I know very little about them other than that there are several variants. I also know that there are other brands of PC which do the same thing. Any of you PC experts like to suggest which one is best suited for audio for my requirements?

    Thanks,

    Ive been using the original HRT Music Streamer for over 10 years now. I got mine before they were available here..

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
