Maybe open a separate thread since you're now selling a product and it doesn't actually come with piCoPlayer preinstalled which is what this thread is for? Besides being prebuilt and a unique case what benefits does it have over a RPi B+ with a HiFiBerry DAC+/Digi+ ? If any? My pi build came to less than £50 minus the HiFiBerry and there's no soldering even if I get a HiFiBerry. It was like building Lego :) I assume you mean microSD as well since the B+ doesn't take full size SD cards? Might be worth pushing on some audio forums too.
