That is nice of you making the Eversolo guy spend more money :)
The usb thing is because I use DANTE and have 2 devices that output AES, 2 Devices that have a balanced DAC, and one device that outputs AES, coax, and toslink. I have 2 computers and since all devices and computers are on the network I can send audio wherever I want. So if I want to watch movies I can send that sound to the bed for instance or send music from the music computer to my main system, etc. Lots of flexibility.
With Daphile I had to use USB and can only send the signal to one device. Though I could send the signal to a Big Ben and switch between the different computers but not send different signals to different devices. So the usb was less flexible and the usb to spdif device was just $60 so not sure how good it was.
But I could live with those limitations if the sound was there. Daphile sounded great I used it for a few months. I then switched back to Hysolid on the same machine and there wasn't a big difference. Hysolid sounded better in some regards and not in others. It was hard to A/B obviously. So I ditched Daphile. Also the control of Daphile was lame. Like who uses QUES? I just want to play an album or track by clicking on it. Maybe there was a way around that but I never found it.
I was excited about the upsampling in Daphile and through USB could get 192k. My DANTE is limited to 96k. At the end I concluded that upsampling via Daphile didn't really do much in terms of sound and limited me to 1 or 2 dacs.
Anyhow I was reading that Jplay was a better sounding option and thought I could use it with Hysolid. Its possible but recently I don't find myself going out of my way to fiddle. But would if it seems like a good upgrade.
What would a RPi5 get me over what I have given my daphile experience?
