My Christmas Gift

[widemediaphotography]

Hello everyone,
after about six months of second thoughts and changes I present to you my Christmas present. It's a network streamer, but I'd call it PC audio. For now only the first part is completed, the second part which is just a cabinet containing the DAC (smsl DO300) is still WIP, but from the renderings you can understand what it is. At the moment it is animated by a double configuration Volumio (to perfect the functioning of the 8.8" touch) and foobar2000 with Windows 11 (to implement kiosk mode)

Inside is an insane 200mm Noctua fan that activates only when the temperature reaches a certain limit (yet to be defined).

Each to their own but personally I'm really digging the cosmetic design.
Good luck where ever you go with this.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed Hanukkah to all!

Very cool. It looks somehow modern and retro at the same time.

Very cool, looks very futuristic in an old fashioned way. I’d be very pleased with that on my desk


edit : I had the same react as above

Exactly my goal

Molto bello, sembra molto futuristico in un modo vecchio stile. Lo terrei molto sulla mia scrivania

Yes, "Retrofuturistic"...

Now I added a Topping HS02 USB Isolator inside. Before there was an HS01. No improvement occurred with my Hifiman He10000 Stealth, smsl DO300, Violectric V222 (balanced cable). The same thing happens if I remove the insulator itself. My system doesn't need an isolator.
