From my experiences this IS the only streamer hardware there cheaper than any amazon devices and bluesound node and allows amazon UHD to be stream at true bits. It will hold on playback one device and can’t switch to another renderer and UI is less likely to be any ideal from user perspectives. Auduoravna fall short on the device switching and multi room switching. Only roon is expensive on tax and requires a full running computer to do indexing tasks. Both are great and excellent sound quality. The update of those software tend to be not very stable and forums of them don’t help much either.
Volumio when I upgraded to 3.0 is either Pandora plug-in went missing or the Spotify plugin suddenly refuse to work. LMS will suddenly lost all upnp connection and player list doesn’t align and won’t playback correctly. For example! Wiim mini streaming upnp with dsd will either be ended up no sound or it couldn’t decode real time (wiim has both hardware and software issue to decode).Īnd as for LMS and Volumio both works great only they will once a while update software will kill your vibe. Simply upnp will passthrough raw data but renderer would depend on both software and hardware that’s running to decode it.
Same goes to streamer like bluesound.Īs from LMS to be free push up upnp sounded great! Only problem is LMS transcoding would be stutter on very huge file size such as DSD or DSF files. Roon is the best if you want to pay high price for it. One way to use best potential of CCA is to run a bubbleupnp which “transcode” before feeding into CCA makes CCA cpu workless then high quality audio is deliverable but still it will cap you at 96khz When deliver hi res not only android capped bandwidth it also crashes a lot. I can’t agree entirely with your assessments though.įirst of all CCA is crap both rca or optical out.
PI I’ve tried usb out, optical out hat, volumio, mpd + mini DLNA, bubbleupnp, audirana, LMS, ROON. I have CCA and chromecast, volumio and wiim mini.
