HQPlayer NAA - POE (Power Over Ethernet) RPi4 HAT thread

Is there a specific order you need to power DAC and Pi ion and off?

To power system on : DAC, then NAA fully booted, then HQPlayer, then amp.

To power system off, do the reverse (amp off first!)

@steven_goodier

How much power is being used by a DAC and RPi whilst idle?

Haven’t measured but following correct sequence, never have a problem getting music playing

I currently leave both DACS on, because when I turn them off, I have to re-boot the pi’s to re-connect with HQP. Is there a specific order you need to power DAC and Pi ion and off?

If you shut down HQPlayer, you can power off the DACs too, and leave the NAAs (RPi’s) running.
