Hi Pascal,
This is just fanstastic! It looks great. Now I really want it as well
I am so tempted to get a new display (I have got the first model with no brightness control) and build such a nice system with one of my spare RPis!
Arie,
BTW your VU meter was the main reason to purchase the displayExcellent job!
PS. Pascal, just out of curiosity which sort of DIY tool did you use to cut the case?

I've build another one for a friend. This time I used a black Hammond enclosure and used a 15 degree angle on the display (instead of 10 degrees). I like this one better...
And this is the back side. This player is fitted with an IQaudio analog DAC.
The black smudges around the the USB and Ethernet connectors is cause by a black marker. I wanted to hide the aluminium color by coloring them black but the paper (used for the back panel) sucked up some of the marker's ink. It's a pity this happend... but otherwise happy with the result.
EDIT: below a picture of the guts:

This is what I have done so far...
It's the official 7 inch display case, RPi3 and a DigiAmp+ board from IQAudio. It's a tight squeeze and I had to cut away one of the back panel mounting lugs and make a cut away for the power plug. I also squeezed 2 speaker connections in. I need to tidy the cables up as this is a prototype. It seems to work ok and doesn't overheat but time will tell if it's reliable. Just need to find some means of fitting a lid of some kind on the back to make it complete.

Thanks ! you got me blushing now
These are the parts used:
Enclosure:
Hammond Enclosure 1455T2201BK
Dac / hats:
HiFi Berry DIGI+ clone for an SPDIF interface. It is cheaper that the HiFi Berry and includes a IR sensor.
The one I built for a friend has analog output:
Pi-DAC+
Display:
Official PRI 7" display
I also used the black frame
Power supply:
Mean Well 5 volt / 3 A
Connectors:
DC Connector
RCA connectors in case of a analog DAC.
Additionally there are some mechanical parts (aluminium to fix the display to the enclosure). I will have to build another one fro another friend. I'll take some pictures and post them when I build it.Yamaha A-S3000 (sliver) -> Focal Electra 1028 Be

Today I started building another streamer for another friend. This one will use the same Hammond enclosure but the display will be mounted straight (because the streamer will sit on a high shelf in his audio rack). This time I used a larger 2 mm aluminium plate so that the display is fixed with its 4 mounting screws. The same plate could be used in an angled setup.
I'm still waiting for a few parts to arrive to complete the entire build. But I will post pics again when finished. This one will have a power supply inside and have a trigger control so that the streamer is automatically powered when the pre-amp switches on.Yamaha A-S3000 (sliver) -> Focal Electra 1028 Be
