And if I want to use this radiator for the rpi4 with the StationPI, What would be the modification,a 40 pin higher.
Ian,
For these new clocks - if they are taller and require a spacer or extender for the 40 pin GPIO header, I suggest that you make one of those available, perhaps along with them.

Hi Murdoc,
I will buy the Eaton supercaps. I know the brand from there UPSes, wel known for the quality. I just needed the nudge.
Ocotoparts, thanks for the tip.
Once the project is finished, I will share my experience with this community, that is the goal of this forum, isn't it?
But don't hold your breath. It will take a while. I will order all the parts. I have passed the +4k € mark. And still looking for a case that does the project justice.

There is also a 3 mm alternative, but that will most likely be too short.
I use the 11 mm and bent a few pins for the GPIO plugin in Volumio to switch a relay on and off. Zero power consumption when switched of. But you cannot use a remote to switch the DAC on. But that doesn't matter to me.
Or you can use a ribbon cable to get more distance from the Pi to the rest of the stack.

If the cable is too long, you can remove one of the connectors and move it. Press it in a vise and cut the remainder of the cable. Make sure not to have shorts, easily checked. And pin 0 of course. I have done this numerous times with IDE cables in the past.

I will use these, more expensive, but much better quality. Still thinking about shielding these.
Looks like you live in France (we're almost neighbours):
Aluminium Case for Raspberry Pi 4 Black

Not sure if this is best place to post this, my apologies if this is needs to be posted elsewhere. Got myself a 5v UCPure mk2 from IanCanada but found the R10 resistor missing, likely my moving boards around too often while trying different configuration on the box. does anyone knows what is the resistor value this R10 should be? It doesn’t seems to affect anything but just in case if it blows up the capacitor 😳.

Hi @iancanada
Can you please make a bridgepi that mounted at the buttom of a fifoq7, the version i have know is hitting the heatsink of the fifoq7.
kind regards Lars

@Lso,
please see my post above. You can use GPIO pin extender, ribbon cable or separate cables, all available at Audiophonics in France:

It is possible that you need to drill through the holes of heatsink for the bridgepi. And you will need to use longer standoffs.

@TigerMax
Please no worries. It's a 1M ohms chip resistor in 0402 package. With it, the turn off time will be faster. However, you can leave it un-assembled if the turn-off time is not a problem for you.
Ian
And I just discovered that the usb plug is located the wrong way when i mount the Bridgepi under the FIFOQ7 , hmmmmm.
@tamra
FifoPiMa works in master mode, so it can only take a RPi as the music source. Any other master mode DACs or devices are the same. That's the limitation of the mater mode.
FifoPiQ7 works in SYNC mode, so it works with any kind of music sources including the USB through BridgePi. You have to use a FifoPiQ7 if you want to do so.

I have both. Hard to tell a difference. My gut tells me amanero sounds slightly better than rpi4 but I haven’t done any extensive testing and swapping power supplies. Many say Ethernet sounds better than Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi should be turned off / use shielding etc. which I haven’t done.
