Inexpensive “zone” for non-critical listening?

[wizardofoz (Mr Fix It aka The Wiz)]

I use a RPi with IQAudio DigiAMP+ hat and external speakers on a 19V SMPS from IQAudio…you can buy as a bundle too. Just pair with a set of speakers that meet the SWMBO requirements. I run with ropieee but diet pi is also fine.

build your own chassis if you like.

I want a new Roon endpoint that is not a computer

Here is at the build I did … with speaker output or balanced headphone out. [image] Im planning a new one with the same basic setup but with the following outputs USB 3.5mm headphone Balanced Headphone RCA line level XLR Balanced Line Level Im not sure if all of these can operate individually but The USB and other outputs should be able to live with each other playing different streams over LAN I hope. I also hope to have a volume knob on it…

My other one is built into a sake bottle box driving a pair of Emotiva ERM 6.2’s most of the time
