I really do love this. I got really frustrated with playing good quality wav files through Windows - Crackles and pops finally made me snap. So after looking for solutions, I read about running a Raspberry Pi with a Justboom DAC hat, which is where Volumio came in. I've not tried other alternatives so can't really compare but Volumio has worked brilliantly since I installed it and got it working. The sound quality of digital files through my hifi system is wonderful. One of the best things for me though is its flexibility and ability to use airdrop to stream audio. I'm not an Apple fan, though I have a spare iPhone. I started streaming BBC radio stations directly through the web radio option but started to encounter a few problems. I then discovered the ability to stream stuff like MLB, BBC Sounds app, Spotify You Tube etc. through Apple airdrop which is a real plus. One thing I would say is the setup was not straightforward. I had issues that I think were related to my network so it took a bit of trial and error but it was well worth persevering. It's definitely worth using an ethernet cable to set up first before going wireless. Now its up and running though, it's great. The interface is user friendly and intuitive after a few plays. Last night I streamed some concerts on You Tube via airdrop and was virtually transported to the gig. Really recommend using Volumio for quality digital audio playing and day to day radio listening.
