This batch of 250 units, will be gone pretty soon at this rate!
Ordered a Pi 2, IQAudio DAC and case.
I've been using a Pi Model B plus the Wolfson DAC as my main source for over a year now.
I've been very happy with the results but the Pi B is just a little underpowered.
The new Pi 2 should address that but it isn't physically compatible with the Wolfson DAC.
Any excuse for new toys!
Good job I'm on commission, eh Gordon?
Only kidding!!
