The pCP GUI is really just for the initial setup. After that, LMS on pCP should work pretty much the same as LMS did on your laptop. Use the same tools that you have always used. So on your laptop for example, instead of http://localhost:9000 use http://LMS_IP_address:9000

Setting up Raspberry Pi 4 with PiCorePlayer. Reading through instruction on PiCore site I saw one way to view Pi in command mode is SqueezeSlave. But I can't seem to find up to date version. Is there another program I should use? The Pi is replacing my laptop which has been running LMS as

I agree with @apesbrain. For feeding same DAC, likelihood of differing sound quality is zero. You may or may not like the DAC in the Transporter vs your current DAC, assuming you use the analog out of the Transporter. I use a Transporter, balanced analog out to my pre-amp (so using the

"Sound quality" is an individual experience; only you can be the judge of this. Both are worthy solutions and, under controlled conditions, I doubt you'd be able to tell one from the other. It's been repeatedly demonstrated, however, that "sound" quality is influenced by more than sound waves
