Hi Dan, My needs are more modest than yours I'm sure; I'm a "good sound at a not painful price" sort. That said you might want to experiment a bit more (as you have been) before committing which is why I threw out the inexpensive DAC idea. You could incrementally experiment with a Pi4 by acquiring a digital output hat supporting at least Coax output and feed that to -> your existing DAC. If you are happy with that, based on your first post it seems you'll need a second DAC. The Topping brand ranges from the inexpensive but well-reviewed and beyond. You'll find all manner of DAC brands reviewed on Audio Science Review: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?forums/digital-to-analog-dac-review-and-discussion.10/ They are generally technical reviews not audiophile but may serve as a good starting point for exploration. The entry-level Topping units offer good value and surprisingly good technical performance. I haven't bought one yet but intend to and look forward to comparing it to my now some years old Schiit DAC. I'll probably get the low-cost Topping E30 which is readily available here in Canada (edit, ordering it now for the family entertainment centre, or my office, whichever use case wins ;-) ) - it has 3 digital inputs (USB, TOSLINK and Coax S/PDIF) selectable from the front panel. No balanced output, only RCA - they do have units with XLR out. Best of luck with your streaming system build - have fun! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yvrmike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70865 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113147
