That isnt why I asked. I wondered what the use case was. I have my TV wired into an AVR which also has a Pi plugged into it and quite often I listen to music on headphones while Swmbo watches TV but I use an iPhone with iPeng controlled by Material and an Audioquest Dragonfly to listen. It lets me move around but still gives me HiFi quality music.
