The weather wasn’t exactly ideal for outdoor patio going here in Seattle, but when it is, I’l be ready.

Very nifty!
I like it.

Very nice. Those Ikea speakers are much better than they should be for the price.

Nice setup and maybe even a better choice of beer :wink:

Nice tweak. But maybe … there would be a way to tap battery juice from inside and also move the chromecast dongle in there? :wink:

That is one hell of a setup. Your neighbours must hate you. i’d love to watch a movie in there though.

There may be…but desoldering a board and trying to decipher what’s going on is not for me. My eyes are way to old to take tiny surface mount parts off.

Love the Rothko touches. :slight_smile:
Plays well with classic jazz.

Found a fixit tear down. Nah, you did just right :slight_smile:

Actually that is the point of good equipment - no need to play insanely loud. I’m maximum at 80dB, normal music and TV watching at 60dB. So never a complaint from any of the neighbours during the last 15 years.

Thankyou, the minimalism is rather fitting :slight_smile:

My current headphone setup:

  • Pi4 with RoPieeeXL
  • RME ADI-2 DAC FS
  • Meze 99 Classics (with Brainwavz Hybrid pads)
  • Hifiman Sundara (with Dekoni Elite Hybrid pads)

I‘m very happy with this!
