I have no previous experience with RP machines/OS, but I'm a oldschool PC nerd, so I have no problem setting up things, I'm just quite short on time to make all the research, since I see that's quite a lot. I understand that power supply makes a huge role like everywhere else, so I might be going for the Shanti.
I just need to play music that is locally stored on my PC, so no streaming or any other complicated networking stuff, just to bridge my PC -> Ethernet cable -> RPi4 -> USB -> RME ADI-2 DAC. I'm not familiar with any software / OS tweaking / HW tips to get things started properly, so any help is greatly appreciated
We have same setup here...Great DAC btw
The Pi4 with USB and our DAC work beautifully!!! I wouldn't worry about adding Shanti. I added iFi iPower and couldn't notice any diff. I also tried fiber optical network setup, can't hear any diff.
That tells me our DAC does a decent job so just focus on getting new music! I have Roon/UPNP/DLNA/Samba running on i5 NUC which also hosts all my collections. Moode also uses wifi.
