While it's true that the newer Pi's has built in WiFi...

Some here claim that the dongles work better, depending on the S/PDIF 'HAT' one chooses to use, or so I am told.

I have a bedroom that has poor WiFi coverage so the below was suggested by another inmate. Yet to more the Pi so I haven't tried WiFi as yet but will soon.

What are you using to power your Pi?

In my experience, and my streaming reference is the much more expensive uRendu with a $400 LPS-1 for power, is that the Pi is quite sensitive to the quality of its 5V source. Real audible improvement can be had by a simple $20-$50 PS upgrade.

Cheapo Jameco transformer LPS or the iFi iPower are a couple reasonable choices.







First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
