After reading many positive reviews about using a Rasberry pi as a streamer, I subscribed to Tidal via Volumio. A couple of months ago, I connected the RPi to a Gustard U12, and the sound wasn't so good when connected to a Mark Levinson 360s DAC, so I gave up trying. I then bought an Audiophilleo for a different purpose, but I thought I would try the RPi again. The sound is slightly better but still nowhere near an ML 37 cd transport.
I presume this is as good as it gets for the RPi, or am I missing something? If the sound is near good transport quality, I might try to use a better PSU, but it is so far off that I might be wasting my time and money.
Does anyone else with the same experience connecting the Pi to a high-end Dac?
How much does one have to pay to get a streamer on par with a high-quality CD transport?
