[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1177899, member: 746"] The Mercury Pi2 is in fact a rebuilt Pi4 but benefits from some superb software. After having tried 3 (including Volumio), I settled on Gentoo Linux which has been extensively tweaked by Antonello Caroli, a gent who lives in Austria. In the past year, he has upgraded the kernel 11 times and issued many patches. You can select any of more than 12 different software add-ons, eg: Squeezlite, HQ Player, Logitech Media Server, Lyrion Music Server, Bubble Upnp, Mpd, Roon Bridge, Roon Server, Minim Server, Airplay, Spotify, Gmedia renderer, Camilla GUI, Aplayer, Audirvana, etc The software is €49 for a lifetime licence with all updates free of charge Swapped the inexpensive power supply for a 12 volt 5 amp linear supply Comparing this with several upmarket streamers, it produces a very fine sound with no drawbacks. The AES output perhaps offers the best result [/QUOTE]
