Hi !
I´ve always thaugth speakers are the best way to go, when looking for Hi-fi.
I use to listen to streaming (Deezer and Radio Paradise, in flac) from my pc, with an old pair of Audio Engines A5+ (connected to a USB Sabre dac).
It sounds nice, but in fact I spected more...
So, some time ago I´ve put my hands on a Raspberry Pi 4B kit, and just in order to make it operational, I´ve plugged in a cheap pair of Edifiers R1100.
To my surprise it sounds clearer (I can hear more details, and the bass seems more deep) than in the A5+ !
The R Pi is stock, hardware and software, except that I´ve replaced the cpu fan by a passive cooler, and the power adapter by an original one (the power adapter that came with the kit kept showing an error and sometimes closing the screen).
I´m well aware of placebo effect in audio, so I´m asking if someone here has a similar experience with this tiny computer, or in other hand, my pc is crap ?
