I've been testing a few displays because I can't order the front panel without finalizing which one.
This was the first one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224197366222
Its a 1.77" LCD with 160x128 pixels. I chose it because it is almost identical to the RME unit. It works well overall, only...
I made a case with Front Panel Express at exact dimensions of the RME half-rack units.
It is unfortunately very expensive so your option seems good if there is broader interest.
@melomane13 sounds good, started a new thread here:

A few pics and basic demo.
I bought this remote off eBay since it had most buttons I was interested in, and it is what "inspired" the labels of the remote key mapping.

Tentative front panel, intention is to match aesthetics on top...
Posted originally in the RPi4 + CamillaDSP Tutorial.
Thanks so much again to @mdsimon2 for starting that thread and providing detailed instructions on setting up an RPI with CamillaDSP.
I have been working on a similar python app to what is discussed there, but with some additional features.

I have been working on a similar python app to what @mdsimon2 provided here, but with some additional features.
It supports any remote control with a basic TSOP38238 IR receiver, in additional to a physical knob with a rotary encoder.
If you're using Squeezelite, you can change tracks and...
I'm still ironing out the details of my RPI/CamillaDSP setup with the UCX-II, one thing here caught my eye
@mdsimon2 is this an Ultralite specific issue? I've been swapping between TOSLINK and squeezelite and had not had any issues. Perhaps the UCX-II has a clock source setting per input?
As...
Thanks for the suggestion. I've built something similar in the past for piCorePlayer with a VFD display in a small box, but for this I'll try to match the form factor and layout of the RME device, so the units look somewhat consistent.
I received the UCX-II a few weeks ago and now have...
Thanks so much for the quick reply and confirming the UCX-II (and similar interfaces) can support both analog and streaming with the switch of configs.
I currently do only have 2 channel floorstanding speakers, but have a subwoofer and would be eventually interested to integrate it.
With the sub...
I am going through this tutorial for the first time, thanks so much !
My current stack is Benchmark DAC3/LA4/AHB2, using piCorePlayer for streaming and 2 analog sources, but obviously no DSP capabilities and looking to implement DRC.
I have a Motu M4 on hand that I use for other things so...
Hi all,
Lots of similar threads here but each room is different so starting another one for my room.
Room is roughly 23 x 12 x 9 ft.
It is a semi-dedicated room for audio and HT (front half is the system, back half has a few cabinets and a small table).
When moving in, I purchased room...
I have built DIY line-level preamplifiers, many phono preamps, and a DAC in the past, maybe I should just build a custom preamp.
Not sure if there any good OTS DAC modules these days that can compete
Yea M33 is missing 2 functionalities (USB-in is one) so won't work.
Thanks for the tip on the Eam Lab Studio DA201. I found the Cyprus Pre-XR also has all the required functionality. Although I am a bit weary of their products because I always see cheap components in pictures of their internals.
To be clear, I purchased the amp second-hand from a dealer and I am still within the return window so opt to do that.
I'll give Bryston a call but I am concerned that if I choose to keep it and try to repair it, I will be outside the return window if I'm still unhappy with the performance.
