  look at the Streacom f5 case - http://www.streacom.com/products/fc5-od-fanless-chassis/
also you need more than a raspberry to process dsd256 / dsd512 upsampling
and with a decent mobo, psu and the right connections you can eliminate the interference
otherwise you pay big $$$ for the same functionality - see antipodes http://antipodesaudio.com/

Actually I have been temped to buy from Antipodes their DS series for years.
But it has more function then I need the internal DAC and internal HDD plus all the ability for networking and multi-room.
At one stage Antipodes has plan to release low cost model does not has DAC and HDD.
But that has been dropped.
I don't know when my Fiio X3 broken I might get Antipodes DS or Fiio's next DAP maybe it has USB out.
 
Note: I don't like Fiio's internal DAC it sound sharp.

Hi all,
I am a new owner of iFi nano iDSD, and just can agree that it sounds great. I use it as a DAC connected to the  Mac Mini and next to a power amp, with original USB and RCA cables.
Unfortunately, I started to get sporadic playback stops and resets, which sometime coincided with placing my arm close to the iDSD but not even touching it. First blamed vibration and cables, but apparently they were fine. Finally I was able to trace down that this erratic behaviour was clearly dependant on two factors - my arm/palm within 5-10 cm distance from iDSD and … my Icebreaker merino wool t-shirt on myself. Wearing noname cotton one rescued the situation.
Of course, I am aware about static electricity and the fact that discharge can ruin delicate equipment, but there definitely was no discharge, simply exposure to electric field by approaching hand. 
So I wonder whether there might be a proper way to connect iDSD to a ground or other means how to protect the device. Wearing antistatic bracelets is out of the question

Nano iDSD ‘LE’

Pocket Rocket.

Southport, UK – 9th December 2016
 
Small, dark and handsome
The original nano iDSD redefined the US$200 price class for sonics with a worldwide following of portable/home music lovers enjoying all formats from DSD to MP3.
 
The new nano iDSD 'LE' (Light Edition) in stunning dark titanium is a $129 reboot:
 

• Same stunning ‘True Native’ Burr-Brown PCM/DSD chipset
• Headphone power output of 130mW with 10-hour battery life
• RCA outputs on analogue volume control

 
Below US$150, there is nothing as advanced as the nano iDSD LE:
 
Features

1. Burr-Brown ‘True Native’ chipset
2. AMR trickle-down ZeroJitter Lite® for low-jitter/phase-noise
3. DC-Infinity circuit, DirectDrive® Servo-less circuit
4. Battery-life ~10 hours

(Compared to original nano DSD, no SPDIF out, no filter switch and DSD256, has DSD128)

That was quick - I wanted to reply there must be some error regarding DSD128 and DSD256 as stated in initial post ... well done iFi !

20 posts per day? Could you please share your math with us? We lack 44 posts to hit the number, at least that's what our profile says...

Oh, I was referring to this thread, which has 1724 posts.  (2000 - 1724) / (31 - 18) = 21.2.
