That is such an awesome picture and dream system! I can only imagine . . .Happy Sat !How do you like my purple LCD5 ?
I’m experimenting with couch side listening. So far it is pretty good because I can mute the tv and turn on Roon and then back and forth etc as I like. Only problem is the noise floor with the laptop fan. I’ve been looking at bridge solutions like RoPieee and the iFi Stream unit. Not really sure how to defeat the fan noise other than going with a more expensive solution like a dedicated network player. Even the raspberry pi has a fan although I’m not sure how loud it is. Suggestions welcome. The nice thing about the laptop and Roon is that it is running the laptop touchscreen which is nice so I can scroll easily. It’s not ideal but it’s working at the moment.
Raspberry Pi4 with FLIRC case. The all case is a heat sink with no fan.
Running Volumio it maxed out at 52ºC.

My indent to eliminate such noise would be an external USB-C touch display.
But my Surface serves my very well without disturbing noise on a balanced energy state.

Second the recommendation of the FLIRC case. Barely warm to the touch running Ropiee and aesthetically pleasing too. Nothing flashy, but gets the job done. Currently running at 45C at the board with no issues.

Thanks. I borrowed a Pi 4 from my buddy and ordered the Flirc case off Amazon. Everything works great so far. Nice to use my phone as the Roon remote.
Love the keycaps and wrist rest, very cool.

I know it`s too late, but also with the standard plastic case and passive heat sinks you won`t run into any problems either. A cooling case is actually not neccesary. If you ever plan to use Bluetooth on the Pi (i.e. with Ropieee XL) an metal case is not ideal, since there is no external antenna for that.

Great setup and picture. I have been seeing the M500 in a lot of pictures lately. How do you like it? Anything to compare it with?I’m experimenting with couch side listening.
