Correct. I didn't need it, nor use it. I just wrote the standard M2P image to a blank SD 8gb SD card. M2P makes it all pretty easy. No need for any linux command line
I'm sure you're aware that your RP3 is also a player, you can select and control it with your Duet controller?
That case looks nice, but I don't think it allows one to use a top-hat DAC?Pi5 .. pCP 9beta5 .. LMS 8.4 -- nomysqueezebox

Yes, I am aware, but at the moment I don't need to use the Pi that way, or even put in a DAC as I have a number of SBs including 2 x SBTs which have a pretty decent DAC IMO. If I want to go down the Pi as player route later, then sure, I will probably change the case, especially since the cost is minimal for these tiny machines. I'm going to use the Pi with the Duet because it's the SB my spouse knows her way round best.Comment

My RP3/M2P/LMS is a server for all my Squeezeboxen, about 15 of them if I include players on phones, tablets, laptops, PCs ...Pi5 .. pCP 9beta5 .. LMS 8.4 -- nomysqueezebox

Hey nice case; At least this one seems to have a heatsink that makes sense!
Do you have an idea if wifi range through the Pi 3's internal antenna is affected by the aluminium enclosure?

I did use the Pi both without the case and with it, but didn't notice any difference in wifi range. Unfortunately, I can't re-test for a while as I've packed it away for I'm the process of relocating.Comment
