My first Audio player @volumio Rpi 4 + LCD 7.9
First of all I want to thank the whole community!!

powered by @Raspberry_Pi
4B/4GB , LCD display’@waveshare00
7.9 400x1280 + DAC Pi-Digi+ sound card+ Music from HDD+:radio: radio +
@Spotify🎧
We also have a filtered toroidal transformer source 2x9V 5.5A +IAN CANADA LINEARPI MKII DUAL Ultra-Low Noise Linear Power Supply and an aluminum case.
Work for several autumn evenings. But so far great joy and fun with Son (16) who advises a little with Rpi.

[RommelTex]

I am interested in the aluminum case you used, what model is it? where did you buy it?
thanks

[JosefZvol]

I haven’t bought yet, but I have this case in my cart:

Galaxy Maggiorato GX288 230 x 280 mm 10mm front panel BLACK

[JosefZvol]

Today I ordered a box from https://modushop.biz/site/ for my audio player @volumio (Redirecting...) project It will be fitted with LCD @waveshare00 7.9 400x1280

I hope I measured and modeled well…

I will introduce the whole project later!

Today I finished the first version of the @volumio music player​:+1:.

Components used:

• Powered by @Raspberry_Pi 4B/4GB
• IAN CANADA UCPI Universal Ultracapacitor Power Supply Board
  for Raspberry Pi
• LCD display’@waveshare 7.9 400x1280
• Sound card DAC Pi-Digi+ (will be updated from IAN CANADA)
• Power supply: IAN CANADA LINEARPI MKII Ultra-Low Noise
  Linear Power Supply Module 5V 2.5A
• Torrid transformer 2x 9V AC 5.5A (second branch for further
  update)
• Aluminum case from MODUshop: Galaxy Maggiorato GX288 230 x 280 mm 10mm front panel BLACK.

I’m testing a special 32GB SD/eMMC card in Rpi4 under @volumio
software.

So far I’m noticing a faster system and I hope reliability.

It was a clean installation.

Bought in the Czech Republic:

Really nice project.

How do you connect the speakers? Are they big?

[JosefZvol]

Thank you! The speakers are Bowers & Wilkins B&W 606 S3 tz are connected to the 2.1 AV amplifier and the Volumio player is connected with an optical cable. I am still improving the player, there will be a new sound card and other components after the New Year.

[Matthias_J_Luthi]

thanks, which kind of amplifier do you use? A special one, or is it just fine to a have normal one?

[JosefZvol]

I use a normal AV Amplifier 2.1 Pioneer

[JosefZvol]

Friends,

I prepared a short video Video Volumio of my raspberry VOLUMIO player

where I replaced the sound card with a new one from IAN CANADA.

IAN CANADA TRANSPORTPI DIGI II Ultra Low Jitter Digital Audio Interface Module

https://www.audiophonics.fr/…/ian-canada-transportpi…

It has taken another big step in terms of sound!

There will be another update:

• Another LIFEPO4 MINI Battery Power Supply Module 3.3V

• IAN CANADA ISOLATORPI III Galvanic Insulation Module

• IAN CANADA DOP DECODER DoP to Native DSD Decoder Bord

[JosefZvol]

Hello friends,

I recently introduced my raspberry player on SW Volumio

Now there is a modernized updated version Mk2!

• Added IAN CANADA LINEARPI PRO SOLO Linear Power Supply Module 5A/5V for raspberry Pi 4 which is powered via IAN CANADA UCPI Universal Ultracapacitor Power Supply Board for Raspberry Pi

• Original Power supply: IAN CANADA LINEARPI MKII Ultra-Low Noise Linear Power Supply Module 5V 2.5A is set to 3.3V and powers the new sound card

• IAN CANADA TRANSPORTPI DIGI II Ultra Low Jitter Digital Audio Interface Module I use the sound output exclusively via Optical Toslink.

And at the same time powers the:

• IAN CANADA ISOLATORPI III Galvanic Insulation Module.

Maybe I will update and add ultra capacitors to the 3.3V power supply branch IAN CANADA UCCONDITIONER MKII Ultra Capacitor Conditioner Board 3.3V

ISOLATORPI III Galvanic Insulation Module

Hello Jozef,

Very cool project.
I have a streamer based on RPi 4B in base version (USB cable connected to external DAC).
I’ve been reading a bit about IanCanada’s interface and I plan to upgrade my streamer with TRANSPORTPI DIGI II and ISOLATORPI III Galvanic Insulation Module and connect via coax to my new DAC.
What effect do these components have on the sound. With your setup it should be audible. Is the soundstage actually so well developed, stereophony flawless with good localization of apparent sources? What about naturalness and musicality?

Is there a noticeable effect of the ISOLATORPI III on the overall sound?

Best regards

[JosefZvol]

Hi, thanks for the question, I mainly wanted to use the isolator for a DSD decoder, but I sent the (DSD) decoder back to the seller!
I consulted everything with IAN Canada.
IAN Isolator will bring a slight improvement in sound and a better, cleaner, separate power supply. Ps: I don’t regret the investment. I believe that when I buy ultra capacitors for the 3.3V branch, everything will improve even more!
Have a nice day…

[Cezary_Grzebski]

So, I’m very curious about your impressions.
Good luck…

Hi,

RasPiKey: Plug and Play eMMC Module for Raspberry Pi | UUGear

Does it improve boot speed?
Does it flash in the same way as an SD card (RPi imager)?

@Cezary_Grzebski

Have seen multiple posting on the internet, that it is a very problematic thing.

[Cezary_Grzebski]

So, better avoid?

[Wheaten]

yes i would.

[JosefZvol]

I used it for a while, but it was very unreliable… Moreover, one PC with Windows 11 read the card and the other same PC with Win11 did not detect the card…
