I don't think I can tell the difference between the hifi and master/mqa based on listening at a mates house. I'm just looking for something with the convenience of chromecast really.
I've ordered a dac hat for the rpi. I'll give that a go and maybe upgrade if I feel the need.
Is this the paper you are referring to? http://lavryengineering.com/pdfs/lavry-sampling-theory.pdf

Yes, that's the paper. From memory he makes the point that the processing speeds required for higher bitrates can lead to lower accuracy. Whether that still holds today I don't know.
I have a few Lavry convertors, they are quite old now I should probably look at what's available in the higher bit rates but I am very happy with my setup at the moment.

Yes, that was kind of my point about it carrying up to 192/24. Generally I'm avoiding any conclusions about the higher bitrate stuff. Dan Lavrys' white paper convinced me to stick with 96/24 but I have an SACD player that has DSD and Roon unfolds MQA so I've heard some of that stuff.
We should probably let @root know that we think he'll be fine with that resolution. :)
