and now am browsing the web (always dangerous after a few pints) and am about to push a buy now on a second Raspberry Pi Hifibery digi+ when I think WAIT
Is there an advantage to replacing an SBT with a Pi solution or is it the dreaded demon drink doing the thinking for me?
Has anyone compared the sound quality of a RAAT Pi solution vs SBT. It certainly sounds better than airplay via airport express to a Naim UniQute but does this hold true against an SBT?
Can’t comment on SQ but one advantage of a RAAT endpoint compared to SBT is that it can be grouped with your first RAAT endpoint. That may not be important for your architecture.
The SBT does have a screen+backlight and is probably doing a good bit more non-audio-related stuff in the background when compared to the RAAT-dedicated Pi. If predicting SQ based on product architecture, I’d lean towards the Pi as being the simpler/more minimal thing.
I suspect that the HiFiBerry Digi+ is a higher quality S/PDIF interface + clock than whatever Logitech specced on the SBT.
