Hi everyone, I'm a happy customer of a Digi+ since 2015 :)

Recently, I've done a new setup based on Moode + Bubbleupnpserver manually added. The Pi Digi+ feed my amp via coax.
I have also a chromecast plugged directly to the amp via optical.

Now, I looking for a all in one solution : Pi + HAT + chromecast > a one input to my amp (coax or optical).

So,
- is it doable with a Digi+ I/O or a DAC+ DSP?
- is it only possible with hifiberryOS (I want to add bubbleupnpserver and it seems not possible on your OS)?

Have a nice day!

  HiFiBerryOS doesn't support the Digi+ input. If you want to use HiFiBerryOS, you need to use the DAC+ DSP for this.

  Ok thanks for your answer.

  No offense but it seems to me a bit weird that your own product is not supported in your OS.

  Do you have know if there is an OS which supports the Digi+ input? Or do I have to look towards vanilla Raspbian?

  No offense taken, but the Digi+ I/O was never designed as a "general purpose" board. There are certain limitations (see https://www.hifiberry.com/digis ) and therefore we recommend it only for people that have specific use case where is fits. HiFiBerryOS isn't designed for these specific use cases. 

  The DAC+ DSP is the right board for you.

  I get your point, thanks for the clarification!
