I use this one in the lounge for background listening, it is much cheaper now!

Also consider the pcm5102a boards out there, they do go higher in resolution. Also some good es9018m2k boards from hong kong. I have one assembled and am trying to get a psu sorted out but family illness are taking a lot of my time right now.

Also of note is that with the board you posted, you loose access to all the gpio pins with this attached. I have that problem with the pifi digi. Need to do some soldering one day to sort that out!

Thanks for reply
I have ordered this today with kit (without PSU)

I do not need GPIO so perfect for me. Easy to assemble and hope is going to work great with Tidal.
Now there is an Bubble uPnP Beta which have all the cloud streams in, Tidal included. Works like a charm
As before it was horrible to navigate Tidal on Kodi (with Yatse). It was pretty much useless

With this new Bubble uPnP is just perfect. As of now I was using RPi connected to our AVR over HDMI but cos I want to use proper HiFi stereo amp I needed some good DAC for it.
