The original Wolfson card that was made for the early raspberry Pi's sounds really good, I built a touch screen player using one. The second generation Cirrus cards have sold out now, but the first gen Wolfson card can be made to work with a current Pi. Farnell still have over 500 in stock and for £13 + vat you get 113 dB dynamic range, the ability to drive sensible headphones + SPDIF I/O and analog I/O.
It takes a bit more work, but they sound really good for the money: https://alw-audio.co.uk/?p=605 Beware that there's a noise gate on the card that's enabled by default, that needs to be disabled to get the benefit of high resolution source material: https://alw-audio.co.uk/?p=669 A simple mod dramatically reduces PSU sensitivity too: https://alw-audio.co.uk/?p=657 Andy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ALW's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69957 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111846
