There is a fanless PoE 802.11af HAT

 

GAF-PiHAT-FBA

Very cool. I haven't tested it, but for $25.99 the risk isn't much.

This one says it for sure works on the Pi 4B, whereas the other was contradictory.

 

LoveRPi Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) HAT for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Professional, Isolated (3KV))

CAPS Twenty?

Chris, "CAPS Twenty" sounds good to me. Time to see if I can upgrade my Linn sneaky DS as a source.

 

Yes, CAPS Twenty. First CAPS in many years and I promise this will be unlike anything else I've done. I also believe it's unlike anything else anyone in HiFi has ever done. Much more to come. I'm finishing photography and videography this week.

Great article.  My question is the overall merit of doing PoE.  I can get a PoE switch that injects power into the system relatively cheaply, but does it also add noise generally or otherwise degrade other parts of the system.  If its one device, maybe just adding power to the R Pi would be better?  

Hi Mike, there may be many "better" options but it really depends on what one's goal is. Mine was to create an audio endpoint with PoE so I could run a single cable to it (Ethernet) and a single cable out of it (USB). The simplicity is what I want out of this device. I have Sonore Rendu devices for everything else.

Even better, they pay you. 

 

Only kidding.

Up and running here.  I used Ubuntu 20.04 and downloaded Roon Bridge.  Using a PoE injector from the B side of an EtherRegen to the Raspberry Pi.  Other than a temporary issue with my DAC (thanks Chris) it's working perfectly, and sounds much better than I thought it would.

Very cool Colin. 

 

Did you use the linked file to quiet the fan noise? Or, did you get a PoE hat without a fan?

Hi Guys, just an update to say that the new CAPS article and video go live Monday morning :~)
