DIY Streamer with HiFiBerry DAC2 HD and 11.9" Display

[mchief]

Hello!

This is my DIY streamer with 11.9" display

Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) with USB-C Power Support

DAC: HiFiBerry DAC2 HD

Case: HiFi 2000 Galaxy GX388 with reinforced base plate

Display: Waveshare 11.9" with HDMI

OS: Volumio 3 with Now-Playing plugin, Peppymeter and FusionDSP (for Room-Correction)

This is incredibly nice. I wouldn’t mind making something similar that can sit on the top of my Cambridge Audio ‘One’ receiver system that I use with my Pi4 and Volumio.

Very cool! Can you dim the backlight of the display?

[mchief]

There is a switch on the display board that can be used to adjust the brightness.

But it is not accessible with the housing closed

Looks almost professional. Well done

[Darmur]

I love it, well done!

Beautiful setup… Question… Is there enough power out of the usb output to sufficiently
power a 2.5 ssd without any issues?

[mchief]

With the original power supply and the entry max_usb_current=1 in the config.txt should not be a problem.

But I didn’t test it!

@mchief:
Nice job on this!
In process on my own streamer: can you tell me where you ordered the female-to-female RCA adapters that you mounted in the rear of the case?

[mchief]

Hello!
I ordered here

[antlestxp]

is that a custom face plate you made for the chassis?

[mchief]

Yes, it‘s a custom face plate

[mchief]

I designed and ordered it here

[Wheaten]

yes, used the same company for my front plates.

Hi,
Amazing Work !!!
Where do you find the screen config (to write in config.txt) ?
Do you received it from Waveshare ?
