Posted this before I saw the HiFi thread.

To expand the question a bit further, which DAC would the team recommend?

The one linked above is £10.



is £33.

However you often get what you pay for, and DACs in HiFi equipment are not
all the same. Burr Brown is a known name. The site above doesn't say much
about the specifications. However



says "Dedicated 192kHz/24bit high-quality Burr-Brown DAC for best sound
quality (ESS instead of Burr-Brown on DAC+ Light)" which looks promising.

Noted the price is shown as £45 as oppose to £33 above, but I haven't
checked that VAT and shipping is included in either price)

Has anyone compared different DAC packages on the Pi?



Cheers
