I am super into both IT and Hi-Fi~the name is Lee.
we are making a electrostatic amp (hi-end level, almost done).
And now we are shopping for solutions for a hi-end dap to make an official combo.
so here is the question, which is better in SQ , arm based linux or microcontrollers if properly designed? (with the same set of hardwares?)
my raspberry pi is already on its way, possbily be here by the end of the day, and I will definately give rune a run.
but either way, I think arm based linux is the future.
the reason i chose rbp was simple, it has native i2s output, but I am not certain if it is the best for my goal , or i should just go with microcontrollers + client-side app kind of combo. or there is a better arm based options , even any idea on which soc gives a better SQ is really appreciated. once again, by SQ, i am only talking about the i2s output quality. since we will have like at least 8 best hi-fi dac chips lined up behind it. (currently thinking maybe 1794, I know 9018 is the best, but we prefer the sound signature of pcm1794 a bit more, and it is easy to make lol )
sorry about my english, to sum it up...
my questions are as followed
1 can runeui do all kinds of DSD native output via i2s ?
2 sq-wise which is better arm based or microcontrollers ?
3 which SoC is the best for its i2s output quality?
and lastly , it goes without saying, I would love to contribute for the part of translation into Chinese at least.
And hopefully , we can contribute in other ways in the near future , like contribute in coding or financially.
P.S. Love this idea and how rune ui looks
