everybody on the internet has an opinion, and most are wrong. (Yes, I see the irony in my statement given that I’m posting an opinion.) I currently can play through my system (same amp, preamp, speakers, DAC, etc.) through the following servers: - LMS via rPi with piCorePlayer (primary server) - LMS via Windows 10 - foobar2000 on Windows - Roon Labs via NUC running dedicated Roon ROCK OS. They all sound identical, as I would fully expect.
