Just to chip in, I have replaced one of my touches with raspberry pi 3b with hifiberry dac+ pro (rca version) and can confirm sound quality is as good as from touch. You can also get nice steel case for it as I did

It will reduce volume and will require you to cancel prompt on phone in order to control volume again. I found headphones out on few android phones wasn't loud enough to run it at 60% or whatever is required to avoid warning and auto volume reduction. Another small problem is that squeeze player will automatically shut after certain amount of time when not streaming. You can overcome this with intent from tasker or similar automation app. So basically squeeze player app is great but not really appropriate for static permanent location use. Raspberry pi + DAC hat + PiCorePlayer on other hand works perfectly. BTW raspberry pi 4 as just player is massive overkill.. 3b+,3b, or even 2b makes more sense 3x Squeezebox Touch, 4x Squeezebox Radio, Squeezelite (RPi 3B with HiFiBerry DAC+Pro on OSMC), Material Skin Apk, Squeeze Commander, Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 with Material Skin (Docker in DS218+) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58187 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115580 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
