Indeed, but do bear in mind that what I'm "enthusing" about is simply its sound quality (which given the price is phenomenal), as this is after all a hi-fi forum. Plus, there is plenty of help available here now (and elsewhere on other forums) to collectively assist newbies and the 'technically challenged' to overcome most problems.
Therefore, all in all, considering the huge sonic and musical benefits that can be had, I don't think there's any good reason for folk to be scared of 'dipping their toes into the Pi pool'. With a wee bit of effort, you will be amply rewarded!
Marco.
