Speakers are Dynaudio. OK, so you used: - two different (nominally identical) RPIs - two different (nominally identical) DACs - two different (nominally producing the same data output) software players And you hear a difference.
Why do you conclude that the difference must be due to the software players? Why not due to sample variations in the DACs? Why not due to sample variations in the RPIs?
