I know that sending DSD (DSD64, DSD128) files out the USB port does basically work. But I also know that the pi's USB ports are somewhat anemic as they share resources. Also, I was worried about electronic noise on these ports disrupting a smooth flow of data out to an external DAC.
Has anyone measured this?
What's your opinion on this?
I ask because I'm looking at getting an external high quality DAC and for DSD you have to use the USB inputs to have enough bandwidth. I love picoreplayer (and LMS) and would like to use it to feed the DAC. But I'm a bit concerned that the pi might not be up to the task.
