Hi,

Please use the gear icon in youtube to change resolution. Youtube automatically handles resolution as per your connection bandwidth.

You need to specify resolution manually in case you need clearer video

Thanks

Thanks for sharing the video, it is much similar to the guide given here using runeaudio which I'm currently running. I'm using hifi berry DAC for playing audio from raspberry pi 3. I'm using power source from my old nexus tab 2.0A (through a power line conditioner) and it works excellent . Will get a lpsu if it improves SQ considerably.

Hifi berry DAC is one of the cheapest and best optimized DAC for raspberry pi. I'm pretty happy with the results currently. I've only read about swara DAC will try to listen to the same and see if it makes for a good incremental upgrade.

I agree, the difference will be very very subtle. However if paired with right amp and speakers - high dynamics music may bring out the difference.

Can I use it as standalone DAC ? I already have MAC and I want to connect it to the DAC, can I do that ?

Don't think you can directly connect but you can stream the files on Mac through wifi i guess. Give a call to Shiva, he would help with any queries you have.
