dac recommendation - giorgosperi - 05-20-2020
I m running moode on rspi4. I m planning to add a dac. i have some cheap usb dac but i wanted to buy one expansion board. Do you have any recommendation and compatibility with moode? thank you in advance

How much do you want spend?
Click the "audio devices" button on the moOde website (moodeaudio.org) to see a list of 71 I2S DACs reported to work with moOde and its set of drivers as well as Tim's summary comment about USB DACs.
Recommendation? Sorry, I wouldn't presume. If you like technical reviews, I can recommend Anwar's https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php. If you suffer from audiophilia nervosa [1], then I'm sure there are reviewers to suit your taste, I just don't read any of them.
Regards,
Kent

thanks for the response
its for home use something reasonable
to be honest even the cheap usb audio card that i have sounds good enough for me.just i was thinking to upgrade it with one card. I care mostly to have audio jack / rca ports.
i saw some audio cards on amazon but i wasnt sure for the quality.
