I'm about to order a Raspberry Pi kit to setup a Kodi install and use it for music only. I have a HTPC now that I use for music and movies/TV but I want to separate and figured a Raspberry Pi is nice because it uses very little power and I can keep my HTPC off most of the time. Now, I need coax out to feed my DAC from the Pi, and I see that the HiFiBerry Digi+ board costs about 2x as much as a generic coax/Toslink card on amazon. Is there any benefit to the HiFiBerry, and can I save a few $$$. I'm on a tight budget so every little bit helps. The Digi+ board costs more than the Pi itself! They both output the digital signal to my DAC, right?
Also, I've been pretty happy with Kodi for both audio and video. Is there a better program I should be looking at for the Pi? It has to have a way to control it from android, also I need to be able to control it with a remote control (I use a MCE ir receiver now with Kodi and it allows me to use my Logitech Harmony) and the program has to look nice on the big screen
Thanks
