A few weeks ago i finished my Rpi Musik player.
The GND Layer is very poor on the PCB. I increase it with some wires, direkt from Power socket to the USB Ports. So the higher current from the USB dosen't go throu the PCB AND all ( current hungry ) USB Drives starts up without problems.
Also i don't use the connectors on the DAC Board from cirrus. i connected all wires direct.
I use two of my power supply Boards to supply with voltage. One with LM338 (5 Amps) for Rpi and the USB Drive, and the other with a LM317 (1,5Amps) goes to the DAC.
The control Lights on the front i made with 1mm fiberglas
some woodwork:
i change the aluminium cover to a 45% transparent Acryl
The Android user interface:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Wow.. I think that looks very very good... I love the layout and finish. I love your solution with the fibreglass for the indicator leds.
I had a look on your website... das sieht sehr schön aus...
A Music server with the RPI is high on my todo list. There are a lot of Dac and software possibilities available. Could you tell me why you ended up with this configuration?

I buy the DAC i think a year ago, maybe some months more. At this time i don`t found much Information or Projects about Hifiberry or the Cirrus DAC. I decided it about the less informationen i found. The biggest point in my opinion is that the cirrus board got a "better" Hardware, Layout and PCB.
BUT .... this is only one side of the medal ... the Software package from Cirrus is bad. My best friend make the Software as a Birhtday present for me, he spent some ( many 😀 ) Hours until it works. The Pi works in a carton some months until i got some Time to build it in a Case - i got many Flacs, the sound is great - i like it.
The software is not final - but it is not the highest prio to change it in the Moment.
I don't compare it with other power supplys - but i think **** in - **** out - so i spend always a little bit more in the power supply.
