Remplacement Squeezebox receiver

Hello,

Après de nombreuses années de bons et loyaux services mon receiver semble arriver au bout de sa vie.
Je souhaiterais le remplacer par un Raspberry mais je suis un peu perdu parmis les différentes options disponibles.

Je compte utliser le Raspberry comme serveur (pour l'instant Lms et sur un vieux Synology et bloqué en version en 7.7) et diffuseur sur mon viel ampli Yamaha en le connectant en optique.

Que me faudrait-il comme matériel pour réaliser cela?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide

You'll need:
- RPi 4B-2GB (4GB preferred), power supply, microSD card
- an add-on board that provides optical output
- an RPi case large enough to contain both the RPi and the add-on board
- optical audio cable to connect to optical input on Yamaha

Many of these items are available at https://www.audiophonics.fr/

piCorePlayer is a great choice for player/server OS:

Everything will be more reliable, and library scans quicker, if you connect your RPi to your network using ethernet cable rather than wifi.

Or, just buy these:

Is it this addon that i need on top of the Rasperry?

Yes, and there are less expensive options available from HiFiBerry and Audiophonics.

If you also get a case, be sure it has the proper cutouts so that the connections to the add-on board are accessible.

Thanks, any recommendations for a case?

[Apesbrain]

There are few that are large enough to accommodate the add-on board; HiFiBerry offers two: one plastic, one metal.

Raspberry Pi4 4Gb seems to be sold-out everywhere in EU...

If you only want a player - some users have used Pi Zero or Zero W as a basis

edit:

Getting a suitable case for board and HAT is probably the main issue.

Thanks, but I need both server and player on the same Pi

I will have to wait a bit before changing my Squeezebox receiver....

Mouser seems exceptionally bad - CPC / Farnell (UK & Ireland only) - expect some stock by 20/Dec/21 - however don't say how many and whether already sold.

I think CPC is a main distributor of Pi so probably gets priority.

Bon construire sur cette discussion, je suis moi aussi maintenant à la recherche d'une solution pour remplacer mon Receiver qui est en train de rendre l'âme.
Il y a de nombreuses discussions sur le forum sur ce sujet, mais la plupart datent d'assez longtemps et les liens ne fonctionnent plus.
Quelqu'un peut-il m'éguiller vers la bonne piste SVP?
Merci
