DIGIONE SIGNATURE PLAYER

I should probably also note that I'm NOT doing MQA or DSD.

I have a Digione Signature Player on a RPi 4 with a gig or ram.

My OS is Mood Audio ( there are many others )

My music is on a NAS drive and I ripped original CD's using Exact Copy to 16/44 Flac files, why 16/44 because  that is what most DAC's expect and then the quality of your DAC can be utilized to upsample

My Dac is a SMSL SU8 using the BNC connection from the Digione

The SMSL SU8 Dac connects to a Crown XLI 1500 via XLR, then out to speakers

This combo is probably the best RPi combination, I have  had others which are also very good But feel this is the best today

From a setup standpoint getting your OS on the micro chip used by the RPI can be interesting if you have never done it, but it is really just a simple process. Here is a good overall video

On the RPI once setup you interface it with either a computer or IPad like device. Open a browser and put in the RPi's IP address. 

There are many OS's and all have YouTube videos on how to setup and use it.

Overall it is a great audio streamer, obviously inexpensive and the results will really surprise you and your audio friends

Enjoy the Music

I currently have a Dell Laptop doing the streaming. Will the  DIGIONE SIGNATURE PLAYER improve the sound of your typical laptop? My Cambridge Audio CXC transport outperforms my laptop marginally. The attraction to this player is all of the unnecessary functions are removed from computer thinking this might deliver better sound than my Dell and CXC. I suspect quality streamers will be better but I don't want to spend serious money on one. Opinions? 

HI, maybe a little late but.  I have both, the CXC and the DigiOne Signature.  The Digione compared to the CXC present a larger soundstage, more realism and a darker background.  I Think the DigiOne is a bargain, for me, it outperform the CXC, CXN and the Bluesound Node 2i.   On a side note, I'm using it with the Shanti PS, I Think is the easiest way but you can use batteries on the clean side and the sound improve a little bit.   Hope this helps you to decide. 

I just bought a RPI4 with a DigiOne Signature. I am using it with MoodeAudio and a BubbleUPnP android app as a controller. So far I am underwhelmed by the sound. It sounds a bit harsh at the top end. I have Tidal and Qobuz subscriptions. I also bought the Shanti linear power supply.
 I have a couple of questions.
1 Using BubbleUPnP is it only controlling MoodeAudio and is not streaming music to it?
2 If all streaming is occurring on the RPI4, why does it not sound that great? Will it improve over time, or is there some kind of configuration I need to do in MoodeAudio?
3 Would it improve if I connected directly to Tidal and Qobuz from the RPI4/MoodeAudio?
I have a BlueSound 2i, and was hoping to hear an immediate improvement but so far not hearing it.
