Has anyone here DIYed a streamer?

Don't know, maybe 🤔

DAC is WAF Najda. It can't take an external clock, I understand.

This is my fourth time built based on Ian Canada and Raspberry Pi.
Now i decided to go with the top of the line products.4 box solution with ultracapasitors feeding as power supplys,separateDirty side 5v, 3,3v Q7 and sinepi, 3,3v Hdmi Pro, 15v both Neutronstar 3 clocks. Only raspberry pi have very high quality class A power supply,but to suppport have 2x325F ucconditioner board and seperate lt3045 for 1,8v and 3,3v.Go for Raspberry 3b for best sound.Use pi as a headless player streams Tidal,Quboz and local server Synologie up to 192Khz 24bit,so go a sollution with low noise from cpu pi.Use Volumio with program music shield possible to separate task from music to dedicated cores.Have monitorpi but only for setup Q7,can hear it`s slightly degrades the sound so than settings stored in flashmemory take it away.So my system the latest boards from Ian,I must say have never had better sound enjoying very much.

Thanks Menchs
Here is a link of my last video this one is intended for new DIYers more Videos will be out soon with some upgrades also see my other videos for more complicated ones RPI based. Feel free to share links on other forums.

Wow! Nice 👍🏼 I love the idea.

Is it possible to use AirPlay 2?

And do you think this would be an upgrade from using a Denon X6700 as streamer/DAC?

Hi Batanet,

Very impressive! I wish you would share your build details.
Would like to start as well, but so many 'little' things to consider ...

Thanks a lot!
