Hello Mike,
I've compared both setups and found the sound more accurate/sharp with USB/XMOS than with RCA. I mean, it is really subtile and the sound is still very very good with RCA of course but it seems more tiring in mids and highs.
Some questions come in mind:
with the USB/XMOS setup, is power source as important as with the RCA setup ? Do I still need a quality PSU or a standard one is OK ?
I also have a pi 3 A+ and a pi 3 B+, is USB output as good qualitywise as with pi 4 B+ ? Is there any reason to use an USB 3.0 port for sound output on pi 4 B+ rather an USB 2.0 one ?
Thanks,
Romain
