DAC vs usb soundcard - Raspberry Pi Forums


which 1 give me best sound quality? gpio dac or external usb soundcard?

want connect car´s amplifier, need rca or minijack connections, not optical or hdmi...

the 'only' way hifi sound via add-on dac (i2c) 'hat' = example phat dac (was £8 pimoroni on friday)

'stereo' socket delivers equivalent of 6bit (rather 16 bit) , usb devices suffer 'drop outs' == pi soc has 1 single usb port usb , ethernet activity has 'fight' single set of i/o wires .. leads many dropped , repeated packets ... keyboard / mouse or usb sound device going notice ..
