Sorry I did not see this sooner - haven't been in the Forums for a while.
The display is from a company called Osoyoo which I found out about in this thread: 5" Touchscreen display that works with Jivelite right out of the box.
I used the 3.5" version, which I got from Amazon. I can't guarantee that it will work with other player distros, but it should since the Pi thinks it is connected to an "official" Raspberry Pi display. The only caveat is that initially, the touch function was upside down, even though the display was oriented correctly. I was able to correct that in the piCorePlayer UI, since it allows for flipping the display.
They supply a short cable with the display, but if you need a longer one, you will need to use a different cable than the official display uses. You need a type A flat cable as opposed to a type B. I also found those on Amazon.

I should also mention that Waveshare (which has been around for a while) is now offering some DSI screens, a 4.3" and a 5", which plug directly into the Pi display port. I have not tried those yet, but they might be worth a look also.
Gianluca, are the front panels for the DIY Sony VFET chassis larger than the standard 10mm? They look to have some additional depth to them based on pictures in the build thread and a post offhand mentions 15mm, but I hadn't come across the official dimensions.
If this is the case, will it be possible order custom machined panels thicker than 10mm at some point?

Must have been the picture angles or an optical illusion then, hah!
Appreciate you taking the time to measure your faceplate. 🙂

I confirm the front panel is 10mm thick. We don't have any plan to start selling thicker panels as our usual supplier does not have them
A bit overkill for a single channel unless the config is balanced. Was looking for something to house one SE channel. More or less, the ideal would be 1/2 of a 4U Deluxe. Not sure there is enough demand but figured I'd ask.
I guess it could be overkill if you are doing low power versions of F4 & F5. I have F5Tv3 monos sitting in a pair of 5Us and they need every bit of surface area.
I think i read somewhere that variations of the Vfet chassis will be made available soon. They are smaller that the 4U i believe.
Thanks!, I shall poke around for info on the V-FET chassis.
Yes, a low power F6 is in the works and my stereo layout would be better served with monoblocks.

I am building monoblocks. I am starting out putting a M2X and an F6 in each single enclosure. I will be able to power each board individually or together. I am using 4U x 300 mm heat sinks enclosure is 330mm wide for the amp modules. I am using a 330 x 280 2U Galaxy for the power supply. I plan to swap out amp modules and heat sinks from the amp enclosure. Makes for a taller unit, but takes up less floor real estate.
Yes but that counts as a customization on one side of a 10mm front panel since the black panels are not available as standard products for the Deluxe 4U chassis
Thanks, Gianluca!
Can I make that request in the diyAudio store, or should I order from Modushop?

You can do either.
A drawing of what customisation you want done (in DXF or DWG format only please), is also required.

Is it really necessary to use transistor insulators (e.g. Theraterm) for the diyaudioStore heatsinks?
