...others are small Raspberry Pi in big badass 'high-end' case work - thinking of Bryston and Boulder off the top of my head.

all the many WiiM and Blusound variations as well.

I prefer the Sonore approach. ;)

  Nowadays many of them are Android Digital Audio Player variations.
  Blusound uses Arch Linux, Sonore uses its own brand of Linux.
  Perhaps Sorore did the right thing by starting from the ground up for an audio player. Maybe thats why I like OPAL, its just a modified Linux Kernel with a single player on top.

    The Sonore microRendu hardware is ARM based with their own flavor of Linux and a handful of user loadable Apps targeting the audiophile market.
    My general purpose Raspberry Pi boards are also ARM based running lightweight DietPi Linux. Mine are stripped down with no desktop and no video capability. They require SSH login over the network to configure.
    The Sonore hardware is technically the better design solution vs the general purpose Raspberry Pi but in the real world (at my home anyway) there is no difference in sound quality between my Sonore microRendu and Raspberry Pi when used as network streamers outputting to the same USB DAC.

      But I'm still relieved to see you write about the Raspberry Pi sounding so good. There's always a little audio nervosa for this Raspberry Pi owner.

        I wouldn't fret over it. As mentioned before there are some very 'high-end' brands that use the Raspberry Pi board as a streamer inside their beautiful case work. Bryston and Boulder come to mind.
        
        Ah, yes, the Bryston BDA 3.14... clever name NT - raingerz 19:05:31 11/10/24 (0)
