I decided to try the Picoreplayer 6 with the USB out. The DAC is in a
Bel Canto C5i. LMS runs on a Linux PC and has been very stable for many
years.
It took a little work on the settings to get it running, but it does
sound good. I have a SB Radio and two RPis with HiFiBerry hats. One of

Yes, it is a wifi setup for this player.
The LMS PC is hardwired to a gigabit network. The RPi/PCP player has a
wireless connection, but is only about 3 feet from the router. I have no
other devices in the house that have wireless connectivity problems. (I

The PCP player is on a RPi 3B+. Not sure I want to go to the effort to
switch out to a RPi 4. I'd note there is no sound quality difference
between the HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro output and the PCP USB output (when the
latter is running.) So, it is just a matter of how much I want the
visual extras the

Is the USB DAC always powered up? If you power cycle the DAC, you will
need to power cycle pCP. Or get fancy with other scripting.

No, the DAC (part of a Bel Canto C5i integrated amp) stays on all the
time.

Not sure I understand your question. No, I do not have music playing
constantly. I'll have a listening session and then empty the playlist in

Just to wrap this up, I gave up on running the RPi 3B's USB output into
the Bel Canto C5i.
I ended up taking the HiFiBerry Digi+Pro hat off of its RPi 3B and moved
it over to the RPi with the screen and the pCP OS. The Digi+Pro has a
coax feed out into the Bel Canto's DAC. This works perfectly

Yes, but nothing really changed. However, as just noted above, adding
the HiFiBerry Digi+Pro hat to the player solved all of the issues. The
player is very stable now, fires up immediately on demand and i
