I’m not looking for a bare Raspberry Pi running Ropieee, but for a dedicated network endpoint where the RPi Compute Module is part of a purpose-built audio design with dedicated hardware, power supply, clocks and outputs.

And then, you’ve so far missed out on the ultimate, endless tweaking project, as discussed here on this forum:

Hey fellow tinkerers, A quick note: I’m posting this to share a personal journey and my subjective results. I know and respect the “bits are bits” philosophy that’s popular in this community, but this thread is for those of us who enjoy tinkering with software and network topologies to discover possible effects on sound quality (real or imagined). Here is the direct link to the full instructions: High-Level Summary: Post #8 in this thread Overview: An Introduction to Building a State-of-the…

Hopefully, this quenches your FOMO
