I have to admit I wasn't too happy with the encoder and the knob but I didn't find anything better (encoder) or better fitting. The encoder is a pretty standard rotary encoder as you can find them on Amazon, Conrad etc. max2play also sell one of these on their web site. I bought several from several sources (they come at around $2.50) and they were all the same. It's a bit shaky and it has very noticeable stepping and it only has 24 steps per rotation which is why for my setup I used both flanks of the signal effectively doubling the volume increase per rotation but also reducing accuracy. For a more hifi-like project (I'm planning one for next year or so, think Transporter replacement) I'm definitely going to look for a better encoder but they are really hard to find and they are expensive. Like 50-100$ or so if you only buy one. There doesn't seem to be a mid-price segment. The knob is this one: https://www.conrad.de/de/drehknopf-aluminium-x-h-328-mm-x-144-mm-okw-a1432261-1-st-717569.html I wasn't 100% happy with it either. It's essentially a plastic knob with an aluminum inner ring for mounting and it wasn't sitting tight on this ring, I added some rubber to the fitting of the aluminum ring to make it sit tight. But it was what looked best with the radio. I found a really nice knob, full aluminum and all, but it was too big, that really didn't look good with the Tivoli Radio so I'm maybe going to use it for the next project. I still have it, it's this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01FPKF83I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107031 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
