Kia ora team,
I’m looking for advice on a RPI-based DAC build for 2025. Seems to be heaps of discussions as to whether a RPI4 or RPI5 is the way to go for Volumio and across the interweb lots of discussion as to whether various existing DACs will work with a RPI5 or if I need to stick with a RPI4 to ensure DAC HAT compatibility.
Ideal build at the moment looks like Volumio + RPI5 4Gb + Allo BOSS I2S DAC v 1.2 (likely at some point with its own dedicated power supply to the DAC).
Is this going to work without too much messing around or am I much better to go a different route on RPI and/or DAC HAT.
I’m not looking for a war of words on what’s a better DAC - rather just whether this is likely to work or whether there is a more stable/supported alternative combo with “roughly” the same quality of DAC board is out there.
Looking to buy at least the RPI in the next couple of days so crucial to know if an RPI5 is going to be the right foundation to start from or if a RPI4 is a bet.
Thx all
