| Bluesound Node 2i vs Raspberry Pi SQ @stuff_jones,Both my RPi builds have been stable including the new one (Orchard Audio ApplePi DAC). For those of us with other more compelling interests, it’s a do-it-once-and-enjoy thing. There is some fiddly computer tech, OS and network interac... | |

There's a sale going that migh... | |

| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations @joshelston:"... the M100 and M150 are the most intriguing to me and I keep going back to them" So did I when I was shopping all-in-one’s, much like your search.
