"Maphulo" hi-end project (WIP)

[Wide]

Hello,
After my first streamer project:

Diy - my digit berry

HI. In the last few days I have discovered Volumio and it looks great. I have in WIP a DIY media server based on another media streamer which has many problems with rasspberry PI4 8Gbyte + berry hifi card with digital audio output Recognize my wifi network Bluetooth connection MDP/ALSA error (random and non-repetitive) Conflicts between USB devices my question is: With Volumio, is it better to leave Raspberry or switch to Windows hardware? In the attachments some videos and images of my pr…

Here we here with a new high-end streamer project.

At the moment the case is late because I decided to completely change the style, but I’ll show you my first idea here…

The concept is based on a dual integration hi-fi form factor case/cabinet. In the bigest there is the streamer, in the second a very high quality DAC

I decided to use an x86 minipc, an audio grade low noise linear power supply, a large touch display and a crazy 200mm fan that was very quiet (only 10dB)
These components were selected after my own extensive testing:

-Mele Quiter HD3 Q (Celeron 5105 - 8Gb - 256Gb + 1Tb SSD)
-SMSL DO300 (DAC)
-Noctua NP-A20 PWM (Fan)
-Audio grade linear low noise powe supply 12V 120W
-Touch Display 8,8" or 12,6" wide screen (impact on the final design)

In high load work condiction (100% CUP - 10,4 Watt), after 3 hours CPU Core test registred about 87°C on the CPU without fan, with 27°C in the room. That “insane” Fan reduce the temperature of the CPU more than 13°C, considering that CPU is tested by Intel over 105°C. The fan introduce zero noise!

Please, let me know your opinion and observations

Thanks

This is just a preliminary release, the new project is more advanced…
In my work I currently use 3D printers, CNC milling machines, laser cutters and more

I’m thinking about it…

Very nice! Congratulations!

Thanks volumio, but I think I still have a couple of months of hard work before reaching an acceptable result. My target is a NO compromise high-end network streamer and Volumio is currently the perfect partner to achieve that goal. I trust a lot in the support of this beautiful community

First part done!

My Christmas Gift

[mhpl_02] [mhpl_04] [MPHL_03_] [MPHL_06] [MPHL_08] A few months ago, I opened a post about my second project. Today, I’ve finally managed to assemble the parts, and therefore, I am pleased to share the result. It’s been a long and winding journey, filled with countless reconsiderations, and there’s still much left to do, especially on the software side. I need to figure out how to integrate the Volumio system with the 8.8” 1920x480p Touch screen. The streamer is designed for a dual boot w…

Merry Christmas
