Hi,
I agree although the Pi audio as an output is actually surprisingly ok
(not brilliant but ok). If I was going to spend an extra £100 I'd put
in a usb sound card to as it does save you the hassle of unbalanced
converters. Something like a duo capture ex has worked well for me in
the past
Yea, this seems really nice!
My biggest concern is using the audio out that is built into the Pi. I
think I was reading somewhere that it doesn't even do 16-bit resolution
and it kind of sounds like it doesn't as I hear some low level
"fuzziness" riding on the audio, especially at low levels.
