New to RPi, should I get my hands on one?
Not new to programming or electronics tho'. Old school FORTRAN 77, Machine code, C (K&R), C++
Starting with ZX-81, Spectrum, Amiga, VAX-11/785, MicroVax2000, 68000 (20,30,40), HP1000 A900, Apple Mac (several), 386->i7 8th Gen.
Retired Communications and Systems engineer, getting back to my roots by building audio for the home.
Once I get a RPi4 the Kitchen system will be:
RPI4 (Moode Audio, of course) -> Topping E30ii DAC (USB) -> BA-3 (Burning Amp as Preamp (DIY)) ->ICEPower125asx2 (DIY) -> Spendor Bookshelf speakers.
Will mostly stream Qobuz, CD collection on NAS and internet radio (especially Hirschmilch Chillout from Berlin)
I'm told you are a friendly lot
Mitch
Welcome aboard, Mitch.
i think you'll find us friendly. Just be prepared for our weird senses of humor to break out at unexpected moments---notably outrageous puns and, in my case, at least, references to the Monty Python crew*.
