@osanto:
1)when you use hdmi connecting to your Anthem that it means you are using your Anthem's DAC. One thing in this case you should clarify with Rune team if Rune passthrough digital or pcm out from Pi's hdmi? For the Anthem's DAC, I have no experience about this CS.
2) You don't need to turn TV on in any case of connection, why do you need this? I say this bcos Rune UI helps us to indicate all info we need.
3) I am using receiver Yamaha RX-V675 that it can decoded up to 24/192. By HDMI connection, the audio output is nice so I prefer to know how the DAC+ is working so I placed order 1 that it is on the way to be delivered. I will connect it to another stereo amp Denon 720AE to compare how? Or even connecting to my receiver to find another feelings

4) For audio, no issue is right / wrong. it is the experience and that is yours. Like foods culture, your taste is sweet but some others like salty that I saw from some countries / cultures. Finally, it is as long as or how much you like it
