No. Bought the parts. 5 minutes to burn the micro SD card. 5 minutes to connect the DAC+ Hat to the RPi. Maybe another 5 minutes to screw this all into a small case. So 15 minutes to working hardware. Then after plugging in maybe 5 minutes to tick a few settings in the PiCorePlayer software via the web interface. So certainly all done in less than half an hour. Scanning the approx 100,000 track library from attached 4TB USB drive took an hour or two. Cant recall. Once done all is fairly responsive, not quite as fast as my dedicated vortexbox, but not annoying. *Home:* VBA 4TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.4)>LMS 7.9.1>Touch> Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9.1>Squeezelite *The Wild (no internet): *PiCorePlayer 4.0 on rPi 3B+, hifiberry Dac+Pro, 4TB USB (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpa > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109816
