Sounds superi2s direct from rpi2.
better than USB?
does any player for pi which supports Kernel streaming?
Bring it on
I2S direct sounds just as good, if not better than the "flawed" USB from rpi
what about software as im more worried about the software which will do kernel streaming. Which one are you using?
I am using picoreplayer and/or archphile.
Picoreplayer needs one instance of Logitech Media Server installed somewhere in your LAN.

Archphile - Yet Another Archlinux Based Audiophile Distribution for Raspberry Pi, Udoo, Cubox-i and Odroid C1+/C2
Like those best.
Other distros are for instance:
runeaudio
volumio
moode
Tried them all many times.
There are however one diyaudio thread that is dealing with DAM and linux.

Kernel streaming = Windows OS. It is not applicable to Linux systems, like the ones running on the RPi.
Like bambadoo said, on the RPi you need to pick the distribution that sounds best to you.
I have a dual secondary trafo with 9V so I have a doubt that using a external rectified power supply I am giving about +/-13.5V and its running well with 15V as max rated for DAM. When I see the trafo with AC 9V then multiplied with 1.414 we get about 12.72V which is less than 13.5V so but why is it mentioned as 8V max in dam? any reason behind it? or can we use 9V dual secondary trafo?
230V.
even if you consider 10% of variation then it will be 14.14 which is still in limits.
Sounds super
I think it might sound better than USB but does raspberry pi 3 outputs the DSD via i2s?
I think the sound might better than USB mainly because its bypassing the usb controller and as many say USB is plagued by noise.
From a 9 VAC Xformer you can reach close to 16VDC depending on the input voltage as said bambadoo, plus the Xformer voltage regulation. Designed for 9 V at the nominal current, voltage can go up 10% or 15% or even worse with lower current, especially with tiny molded Xformers.

Basically a R-2R DAC board based on the dam1021, sitting directly on top of the RPi board, to fit the RaspTouch case or some of the other Audiophonics cases. Will be a little larger than a RPi, and have what's needed for easy interfacing, t.ex. using the RPi I2S signals and serial port. Output will be RCA single ended buffered by LT1815's, which are powerful enough to also drive high impedance headphones.

Direct display connection?
Routing signals from the RPi GPIO connector to another connector, to avoid soldering, two options:
1) Route power for the RPi 7" touch display.
2) Route power and RPi SPI signal for simpler displays.
Hi Søren,
That sounds interesting
Hopefully you can provide an option to also provide external power supply for the buffers and analog side.
You can easily provide power for the R-2R DAC board and Raspberry Pi through GPIO if you provide a full pass-through for the GPIO connector. That would cater for other SPI screens as well.
