Hi, now I'm using Dali zenzor 5 ax, this speaker has its own internal DAC and amplifier, my aim is to buy a mini pc with optical output, convert it to network streamer, only the data from optical to the speaker and the speaker's Dac decode the music data ... Has anyone built such a system?

If I get this card, I don't think I need a linear psu for the raspberry pi? because is it true that the music information will go digitally to the speaker and decode that data into the speaker's own DAC?
I built two identical units, one to use downstairs in the family room and the other upstairs in the main system. Both use the SMPSs pictured and I cannot hear any noise. The main system has sensitive speakers, documented in the thread below.
