Headphone Amp and Dac for Raspberry Pi

[museguy]

I'd suggest an IQaudio Pi DAC & case, into a Beresford Capella HP amp...I'm awaiting the new iFi pi PSU, so can't personally recommend that yet, but some well respected members reported good things in conjunction with an on-board I2S Dac

I also have one of the Audiophonics boards, albeit in a basic dogbone case, I have the rest of the components for the full case build...but it doesn't look as easy as I'd hoped

I's very difficult to A/B test them, if there is a difference in SQ it's marginal, or one needs to be using better components than I'm using in my kitchen set up

I'd suggest either would not be a limiting factor in your desktop setup, and for the price difference you can get yourself an iFi Pi PSU...

Dear Will,
Thank you for the suggestions ! Just looked at the Beresford Capella HP looks nice and at a good price. Yesterday found the new Audiophonics setup video looks interesting with a linear power supply.
