Very great job 
thank you for the praise
Looks awesome. I am thinking doing the same.
I might ask questions as I come along…
What is the display unit? Do you have a link for it?
Thanks

Hi
you write that you helped with displays with a resolution of 1920 x 720, is it about displaying the peppymeter in such resolutions? Can you give a link to the topic? Because I can’t find…
Hello,
there are two links at the end of my first post. Here are the help for setting the display to 2520 x 720 and the help for the templates for Peppymeter. There is also a link for the display I use including the entries for the userconfig.txt
Looking for improvement and perfection.
The HAT DACs I used at the beginning didn’t sound what I wanted and I wanted it better. Now the laborious and time-consuming testing of the different HAT boards began. I started with a simple USB DAC for the first attempts to get to know volumio.
We continued with a hifiberry clone, hifiberry DAC and Allo DAC.
The idea to look at the big ones came very quickly. rose RS150 was the measure of all things and encouraged me to build it myself. So a lot of reading, researching the advantages and disadvantages of the different DAC chips and what was available as an I2S HAT board.
Ultimately the choice was an ES9038Q2M with OLED display, rotary encoder and remote control. The following was that a lot had to be done on the power supply side. The result was a power supply with two toroidal transformers with dual windings and a total of four linear regulator power supplies for the modules. Each linear regulator is buffered with 15,000uf at the output. In order to ensure optimal operation of the HAT DAC, after extensive research I decided to install a triple clock.
That’s not all… Although I couldn’t measure any harmonics or voltage dips on the supplies, I decided to start the battery power supply experiment. The internal structure is divided into three parts and therefore this should also be included in the case. A 12.6V lithium ion battery consisting of 3s4P with a total capacity of 14Ah is now available as a battery pack. The battery provides the entire supply for the modules. In addition, the battery is monitored and, if necessary, charged during operation. For this purpose, BMS with balancer is installed. A small OLED display shows the current consumption and voltage of the modules. Now the simple steel housing should also go. I looked at a lot of wooden casings and made parts as prototypes. Ultimately, palani acoustic showed me which path I should take.
Here is my new result…

that’s a bit like stealing my design
yes and develop your own design, that’s just cheaply copied, sorry that I have to write it here like this
Oscar Wilde, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”
Or Isaac Newton: If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of others.
This is the original wooden case from 2017. WooDyne 6U-104HP ER-Case
The question now arises as to who copied here.
I think we were both inspired by that…
They are very different and pleasing geometric designs. The repeating, overlapping roses on this are really cool.
Please don’t act surprised/offended if people take your design as starting point for their own personal build player. Take this as a compliment.
This is a community forum, with a lot of DIY.
So if you use this forum to present your commercial products, people might get inspired.
It’s not like your VU-Meters where fully designed by yourself, but for sure inspired by Advanced Paris.
So a bit of a contradiction?
yes this vu is used by Advanced accoustic and many other manufacturers; car tires are also always round, but it’s about the extent to which you copy designs, and here I think it’s too much 
I also believe that we should inspire each other here.
Nobody is reinventing the wheel!
I also meant it as a compliment and not to accuse each other of plagiarism
