ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

Which model WiFi adapter?

@Tim Curtis i bought this simple one since it is based on 5730 chipset that works out of the box. I gotta say its not the greatest since I only get 25 - 30 Mbps on it in my room but gets the job done. The Moode UI loadtime is longer and not snappy which I can live with. I think once the Moode Kernel gets to Linux 6.2 version there is a lot more wifi adapter options available because of compatibility with in-kernel drivers.

I also ordered this dual band adapter from aliexpress because it was on the recommended list for plug n play. If this works better, I'll return the other one above.

Got the dual band from ali yesterday and put together the stack: rpi-Q7ll-ProtoDAC. It worked for a few minutes then the WiFi became unstable, dropping in and out and struggling to connect via Spotify (I see the player but it won’t connect).
Do you have the same experience @varunach

I found a WiFi to Ethernet adapter I had lying and that fixed the problem.
Finally I’m able to enjoy the potential of the ProtoDAC.

The adapter I got from AliExpress works great for me
