The screen for the HiFi version is a 'Elecrow' (https://www.elecrow.com/5-inch-hdmi-800-x-480-capacitive-touch-lcd-display-for-raspberry-pi-pc-sony-ps4.html) 5" HDMI with capacitive USB touchscreen. Nice and and good value but with the addition of the connectors and thier RA adapters probably make the front panel an inch taller and 1/4" thicker than it needs to be. No biggy in this instance.
There are also PCB headers for the audio out on the Allo DAC and that is what I used to breakout the audio to the rear panel sockets. Again it deals with the bulk of an RCA plug in the chassis. Given the short distance I used some small (about 2mm dia.) screened cable I had left over. I've seen people use anything from unscreened solid core cable to the largest diameter screened cable using the precious metals etc. Something that I see used a lot and is good value is twisted pairs out of a RJ45 patch lead, indeed I have used that in the pre-amp. The only thing that I could have given more thought to is the access to the microSD card, its on the Pi under the Allo HAT point towards the display. It's easy enough to get out but getting it back in is a little fiddly. I've just upgraded to PcP7 and they recommend a fresh install. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113022 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
