Why you always have to buy such things?
Isnt the raspberry a startingpoint for DIY and the Y means something
like "you" :D:D:D

Why not using something else ( and if its just a case) and drill four
holes on the small side and use that "whatever" as a extended feet?

Best things are always handmade and best things alwas solve two issues
in one.

One thing against this kit is the slow update rate of the OLEd display.

I do have the HifiBerry DAC and IQAudio DAC. Both are based on the
PCM5122 DAC from TI. The Audiophonics has a Sabre ES9023 DAC and a TCXO
0.5ppm which, theoretically, should produce better jitter values. My
ears cannot hear any difference between them though (could be my age:
50). I do think the Audiophonics DAC has a bit better built quality,
especially the RCA connectors are more sturdy.

The Audiophonics DAC does not have hardware volume control whereas the
HifiBerry and IQAudio do have hardware volume control.

And the €200! for a nice alu case with a power button (don know if the

to have, I'll start with just the dac ;)

Don't forget to add the cost of a power supply if you don't already have
