Hi from Germany (Brunswick) - pipboy20k - 06-02-2023
Hi there!
I have a Pi with HiFiberry DAC+ Pro in the living room with a SMSL-50 class-D amp that drives a pair of SB-36 (ADW). The single change i did with the biggest impact on quality was to change from a wall wart power supply to an audiophonics LPSU-2, imho absolutely vital for my "good" setup.
Furthermore, I have a second Pi with a HiFiberry Dac+ (non-Pro) in the bedroom which uses a cheap and tiny random amp to drive two Yamaha NS-G30 MKII (which i got from a friend's grandma
).In the past i have used an arch linux arm image with a mpd. later i switched to volumio and now i'm trying out moode. For now I like very much that i dont have to pay to use bluetooth as a source and that moode boots far quicker. Also the web interface feel far more intuitive.
Thanks to everyone for the work invested, be it coding, helping, discussing or whatever else

Welcome and thanks for the feedback. :-)
As you experiment more you'll find many options to try from the Preferences tab in the main menu.
Nice Yamaha speakers. (I think Tim has a pair of Yamaha bookshelves.)

Hello,
the yamahas look nice indeed. I used the SMSL-SA 50 too. But it was a great boost in quality to switch to an old vintage amp. The SMSL is not bad, but has overweight on high frequencies.
Any older Denon/Kenwood/Pioneer/Marantz should be better.
just my 2 cent.
