From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Please re-read my response. I never said that USB would always constrain the audio quality, but if you get a cheap USB to aux converter, the quality would be lacking vs a more expensive solution.

You are making just such a weird argument and it sounds like you are retroactively trying to salvage a bad position because you made a mistake.

  1. If you care strongly about audio quality. A built-in doesn't have any quality guarantees... why then does usb vs hat matter?

  2. If quality is your concern why bring up price in the first part? It is blatantly obvious that cheap parts *might" equate to cheap quality. This is blatantly obvious.

  3. Obviously there will be USB solutions that are equal or better solutions than prebuilt rpi dac hats since the primary dac hats are exceptionally niche.

This response just sounds like you got caught out in your mistake/bad argument. Why be a dick about it?

If I'd made a mistake I would go back and correct it without giving it a second thought, but I will concede that maybe it wasn't clearly argumented. Maybe I sounded like a dick to you but I assure you it wasn't my intent. "There are nice islands in a sea of dicks"
