Listening to the Boston Pops 4th of July broadcast myself...

Works well Pi2AES -> Yggy AES -> Balanced in Freya S -> Monoblock Vidar -> Ohm Walsh 1000s with a Klipsch sub in parallel using RCA for the low ends.

Do you have a link for that?

So I ended up on 1330 AM using the built in iheart on volumnio. Note it ran from 8pm to 10pm Eastern.

When did this become the music thread? Don’t we already have one of those? Oh well.

Can I skip around the wave to wine and ask if anyone recommends trying to home ferment from the scuppernongs in my backyard?

Sinwave.

Sinwave.

Now we have a sine wave and a sinwave. The latter sound more fun!

Moffat makes the Romeros recordings sound live and musical.

There is also Synthwave, which is damn good

Happy 4th of July / Independance Day to my US brethren!!! (Sorry UK folks.)

So, I hope everyone is sitting down, as I actually have audio questions.

Most of my 2-channel listening is streaming Roon via a Pi4 running Ropieee XL feeding my BF2 with 2/64 upgrade via USB. I also have a Pi3B+ with an Allo DigiOne HAT that I drop in on occasion and run to BF2 via S/PDIF coax. I like both but tend to stick with the Pi4/USB, not because it sounds better (I don't really know), but because my OCD dictates that I use the cleaner USB the Pi4 offers (and the Argon case just looks cool). Latey I've had an itch to buy the new Pi2AES 2.0 Pro HAT and use that in conjunction with my Pi3B+ and replacing the Allo board. So I have a few questions...

1. Is the Pi2AES 2.0 a discernable upgrade to Allo DigiOne using S/PDIF coax?
2. Is Pi2AES 2.0 a discernable upgrade to Pi4 via USB?
3. Does BF2's Unison USB negate any real advantage in using Pi2AES via S/PDIF coax?
4. If there is a sonic difference between Pi2AES and Pi4 USB or Allo DigiOne, how would you describe it?
5. Is the Pi2AES plexiglass case as ugly as it looks on the website? (I hope there are 3rd party options for black)
6. Or is it -- What, dude!!?? Save the $299 and quit chasing after the next upgrade.

Thanks!!!

earnmyturns is the specialist here. I remember he was very positive about it. I don't think the connections are a big concern, use what you have, if you have al types available, try them out and use the one you prefer
