![]() If I needed a DAC, I'd look at either a HiFi Berry card or a Allo Boss card. ![]() I'm going to run a USB cable to my DAC input on my Marantz so no DAC card needed for the RPI. I may eventually switch over to have it boot from an external SSD hard drive due to longevity concerns with micro SD cards. I already flashed the Moode Audio operating system to a Micro SD card I had in my pile of memory cards. I am planning to run the RPI 4 with a Moode Audio operating system and control it using my Android (Samsung Galaxy S7) phone to access & play my music. I cannot lose this library as it would take years to recreate. I have to have backups with so much music on there. I have 2 others as backups for my backups. My music is stored on a 1 TB Samsung T7 SSD external hard drive. Maybe even just to make set-up a little easier. I ordered an RPI 4 card (4GB version) for $68.91:Ī Fliirc case (best thermal case out there) for $15.95Ī generic 5.1 V, 3 A USB-C power supply with built-in on/off switch ($9.99)Īnd then, just in case, I ordered a mini HDMI to HDMI cable so that if I have to, I can use this with my TV. It even comes with an Ethernet port and WiFi built-in. Looking into it, I can use this mini PC without any DAC, as my Marantz PM-7005 integrated amp has a USB input for it's built-in DAC. ![]() Lately, I've been intrigued by the new(er) Raspberry PI 4 "mini PC" (RPI for short) for use as a digital music streamer. To make matters worse, my daughter's rescue dog is fascinated by the mouse moving across the screen, so she whines and barks the whole time the TV is on. I have to boot up the PC, turn on my TV, switch to the HDMI input to bring up the PC desktop, grab the wireless keyboard & mouse, make sure the laptop is set to output the audio via the line out (not via HDMI) and then I click through my library to find music to play. While I do like this setup, it is rather inconvenient. If this is TLDR, I won't mind if you skip it.įor the past 4 or 5 years, I've been using an old HP laptop running Linux Ubuntu with an external hard drive that has my music library (in VBR mp3 format) on it with playback via the GMusicPlayer app. ![]()
