do i need a top hat for a RPi? let me explain a bit. using a headless player such as MoOde with a RPi3 via its built in wifi should bypass the well known USB/Ethernet problem so allowing the use of an external USB DAC. the files will be stored local on the Micro SD card so no...

either my googlefoo is no good or they dont exist. USB B to Micro USB cable. i can get converters but not a cable. so is there such a thing?

ok.. so those that know better why cant one use variable output of a preamp into headphones using a phono to jack cable? or use the phono output of a DAC with a volume pot between the DAC and the headphones?
