I must admit I got a bit lost with some of the tech talk. In summary from what I hear you guys say... I probably need a better DAC to improve the sound coming out of the RPi - there are probably some minor improvements from the digital transport side with an Allo unit with separate power but for the most part its the DAC where I should probably spend money now. I may still look at getting the Allo DigiOne Signature board There will probably also always be differences between a vinyl recording and its digital version and I'm happy with that - just wanted some confirmation I guess as I will keep both formats - vinyl for older recording where the mastering is different to digital and digital for convenience when I just want to shuffle some music. I guess the biggest issue right now is not having something to compare with and lockdown making it difficult to audition equipment. I would like to do a home demo of a few commercial streamers to see how they fair with my setup. I couldn't really hear a difference between the RPi and iPad so I'm not sure if I will hear minor improvements to the sound.
