firedog Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 For those that don't want to DIY: Volumio is selling a similar RB PI3b+ unit with Touchscreen - all pre-assmbled and ready to go. https://volumio.org/product/sos-solution-volumio-touch-player/ I bought the unit and it works as advertised. No hassle. It comes with Volumio OS installed. If you are willing to fiddle a bit with settings and programming, you can install Roon Bridge on it. I personally converted it to piCorePlayer OS, as that is designed to be setup as direct SBT replacement/emulator, because that's what I wanted. See picture. It's like an SBT with a 7 inch touchscreen. If you want to use Roipeee OS, you can overwrite the SD Card with that OS. It takes about 10 minutes. That really is the best OS if you want to run Roon Bridge. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments.
