Ynot. I don’t have that specific card to test.Just a thought, Some of the older cards don’t self mute the dac when stopped. You can try to set squeezelite to close alsa when stopped. -c option piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM. Homepage:

Thanks for the feedback, fellas. Just to be clear, I absolutely can hear a difference. I've got a fairly nice system in the car (It's by Bang & Olufsen), my home system is modestly high-end (Krell preamp, Bryston 4B-ST amp, Martin Logan reQuests) and I have pretty good ears, so there most

Running a Pi with Bluetooth could be the way to do this, especially as pCP 3.50 now includes Bluetooth support ... but you would still need a way to navigate to choose the music to play. Presumably you want to use the built-in screen in the car and the dash/steering wheel controls. A really

LMS manages and controls squeezebox devices, you want your car system to control audio instead. I don't think you have any use for LMS. As Roland0 said, BT isn't so great so the simplest solution is to convert your flac files to mp3 automatically. Which will require disconnecting the storage

Insitu from 3.22 to 3.5.0 on RPI2B worked except for restarting LMS. It said LMS was running but it was not. I had to (re)start LMS manually to get it running. No big deal, probably fixed with 3.5.1 :-) does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB?
