What to do ?! - I can sell it for exactly what an RPi4 will cost - my real dilemma is how will my Celeron NUC with Daphile compare to an RPi4 with Moode (or Daphile) for audio quality?
Remembering that I will only be streaming audio (and will use my cd player in hifi system for the rest)
What would you do? Sell the NUC (as its an old first gen version anyway) and get the RPi4 - or should I withdraw the NUC from sale and try Daphile option first???
Is it a pretty close call as to which will likely sound better? In that case, its not such a big drama!!
I'd say that MoOde has an easier user experience, it seems to be more flexible (underlining 'seems') and it has a wider support... on the other hand, you've already got ALL THE HARDWARE...
By the way, @TheOldPresbyope 's is spot on the RPi 3A+ (my favourite choice at home... pumping Bruce Hornsby via HAT DAC + headphone amp + open-back headphones right now)
