Same as a lot of people, bounded to a home office and having additional spare time as daily traffic is no longer needed. I started a research for a possible replacement of JRiver, I looked for a small streamer and stumbled upon “Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra”, which runs on Volumio. So I checked the trail of Volumio and was impressed. But replacing all conventional HiFi equipment to free some desk space, not what I had in mind.
So build one yourself… how hard can it be?
used:
Old cabinet from a DAC (KGUSS DAC-K3)
rPi-4-8GB
2 push switches
2 LED’s
1 OLED SS1306
Design software from Scheaffer, to design my own front.
Some band aid (fingers and Stanley knife have a close relationship)
You can have them drill holes, sink holes, round corners, print text,…
For every handling they will charge additional. The panel I designed cost 54 Euro, and 8 days to produce. But it looks much better then making it from plastic or wood.
Total project cost is 130 euro. (panel, rPi all other materials I didn’t need to buy)
