Newbie here
So I'm just starting here, I don't have a lot of spare cash. What I do have I would like to spend in the right area.
So where is it most important to spend my money?
Is a Pi5 worth an upgrade over a Pi3, I would assume that it would bring more issues than benefit. Heat and power being the main issues?
I can see that the amp could be fed from the Pi3/4 audio jack. What is the difference between the Pi audio jack, a USB Soudblaster and a £200 DAC.
I only have a small fromt room so is an amp that can push more than 30W RMS excessive?
Where would I go over a set of WD Diamond 9.1 speakers.
I guess that my biggest issues are,
1) I am 60+ and my the frequency response of my ears is the limiting factor.
2) Budget
3) Small Living room. I don't need volume.
