For FredA, or those of us who use the RPi for transport:
A prototype from Kingwa, however, according to what was released on the forum(chinese), it is unlikely going to make it to the market, due to the difficulties in supporting the SBC hard/software.
A group buy from Audio GD's forum, in Chinese, using GoogleTranslate and dollar conversion from a rough exchange rate. Cost of shipping is extra.
