If I want a RPI (don't know the latest model) and a touchscreen for it, any ideas how much I need to spend and where to get these?

Aliexpress...

Cheap and cheerful...

I would prefer headless unit.. to minimise power consumption.. more convinient and minimalistic..

It's an AKM based DAC that I built, I think the USB interface uses an XMOS chip.


Planning to get a RPI, been reading on the volumio and it seems to be the right path to go.
yeah.. rpi 3

 if you can wait, go the aliexpress route, if not you can check lazada/shopee.ph and other online seller in FB. i think the price ranges from 1500-4K depending on the resolution and if its capacitive or resistive sensor.

go get the Raspberry Pi ver 3 model B.

Thanks.

What do you recommend using for a controller on a headless setup?

But since power won't be an issue for me (I have standby parts for a 5A linear regulated psu) and it will be used in an area where there is no wifi signal which is why I'm really keen on a touchscreen version.

Thanks for the info. I have 2 choices, get a DAP with considerable hifi quality, OR... go RPI route since I already have a DAC I can trust.

i experimented on daphile before.. it was impressive as a headless unit for intel PC.
for me daphile running on PC is my choice  considering the price vs expensive softwares (roon, Jriver on audio optimizer, et al)..

Clutter is the main issue of touch screen.. plus the issue of lagging as you will restart touch screen more often.. i dont think u can use touchscreen in volumio.. Rune.. pwde.. pero nakakaubos pasensya kahit mouse gamit on HDMI..

d nmn problema wifi.. with or without internet you can use it..

JRiver is just the media player software that I have installed in my PC.

I forgot to mention, my entire music library is in a Synology DS916+ NAS accessible via local network.

I went back to using Foobar2000.

The recent 1.6.x update phased out Direct Sound output and sets WASAPI as default. AFAIK in shared mode, it can already do automatic sample rate switching based on the source file regardless of the sample rate set in the Windows mixer which avoids resampling.
