Hi Folks, Firstly I just want to say thank you for this, it is amazing, got 4 players running in perfect sync with different audio chains, it's very impressive.
I posted this over at the Hifiberry forum, but they didn't seem sure so I'll post it here as well if that's okay?

I have noticed that when I turn off a player with a normal hifiberry the physical light on the soundcard goes off and audio is silent coming out of the pi, so if fitted with a hifiberry amp, does it essentially turn off the amp thereby saving power and more importantly, making the player perfectly silent? If this is the case this is perfect for my bedroom speaker, where a hiss coming out all night is obviously not ideal, especially with the GAF (not my wife :)) Thanks folks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ britcowboy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803
