LOL. I use Moode audio hooked up to a 5.1 stereo receiver setup and control it thru my android phone. Never thought about hooking it up to the tv.

I'm currenty a 11th grade student, I had the raspberry pi 4 4GB model as my main desktop for 2 years... I finally managed to buy myself an M1 powered MacMini, but I still can't stop playing around with my Pi... I spent extra bucks for a multi desktop settup which includes the MacMini and the Pi

Nice case and love the form factor.
I have been using a PI3 with an IQAUDIO DAC with a 7inch touch screen (using the DSI connector) and 3D printed a simple case - all connected to my HiFI and works and sounds great so nice to see another good looking option.

Interesting use for your 1GB Pi 4. I've looked into other Pi DACs but there are so few informative reviews out there that I left it on the back burner. Hope you get it all set to your liking and that it complements your TV/audio system.

Great video. I use a pair of tweezers, with care, to get to SD cards out of different cases where the SD slot is slightly recessed.

I was thinking a cm4 with an I/O board that would be a way to build an audio focused pi. Have a nice dac hat then integrate an nvme drive through the pcie. I got this hat from audio injector supposed to be good for recording and playback I haven't set it up yet though. I've noticed playing around with the pi 400 some of the tweaks you would make on a regular Linux distro for audio production is already there out of the box ( jack2d is setup for example) Though I get a few pops and crackles with the usb interface ( still usable though) and there are some quirks with the power too. I had to use an external powered hub to hook up a midi keyboard.... Though if you kept most your sounds, effects, instruments etc outboard then just use the pi as a recorder that'd work pretty good I'd think.

This is great, and at a great price also. That DAC specs look sweet.
I'm looking to build a stream machine.
In your experience would this case's passive cooling be able to keep safe temperatures while using Pi4 to output 4K video (NetFlix)?
I would love to double this machine as both audio centric and video centric.
Thank you for great content.

At 12:02 you change to the AV input so the audio is sent ARC

How did you get video to display? I don’t get that🤦‍♂️... I see it wasn’t the moodeaudio interface, but what is plugged into your av video signal? It says apps... it can’t be the raspi?

Appreciate all you do👊

[adamyork]

Very nice! Just found your channel. Subscribed. I would be interested to see you try out and evaluate Volumio with that case. Perhaps even test the multiroom audio abilities of Volumio. I am starting to look for a replacement to my Chromecasts for whole home audio. Thanks!

[LKattest]

I mis the optical and coaxial digital out.... for headphone i advice : OneOdio Pro-10, very affordable and almost as good as top of the line +€200 headphones, to believe this, hear it :)

[mamalujo]

As for OSMC for Pi 4, there is a Beta. Look up
[TESTING] Kodi v19 builds for Raspberry Pi 2/3/4.
I foolishly tried to share the link with you via comment. I don't see it, so I'm guessing it was removed.

[AndrewAHayes]

If this would accept a touch screen within the case so I could make it into an independent music streamer I would be very interested

[buckgh]

You didn't need to use Moode Audio, you could have used it to play the normal Raspberry audio output. Just needs configuring. There are a number of Overlay files that suit various DAC's

[mmosbauer]

Great video interesting case. Would be nice with more software compatibility

[dhruthidhar]

The instructions in wor is very confusing can u make a dedicated video on it if possible

[Luke-san]

Definitive fan of Moode audio. I have a Pi zero W, which is a bit underpowered, to stream audio during summer (not so much this year). It uses a 18650 UPS board and is attached to a small solar panel to keep it up and running. (24/7 when the sun shines during the day).
Moode seems to be the only ready project, meaning download image and throw it on an sd-card, which has built-in BT speaker/headphones connectivity. If you calculate the total price of a Pi zero W, a 18650 cell and that 5 euro ups board and then check what you get you can't beat that.

[nileshlog]

Screwdriver can damage the micro SD card. You should be able to use flat tweezers

[gordonshumway]

Nice! Would be lovely to see you reviewing Ubuntu Budgie some time

[kekkokan]

Hi, working on something like that; my gear is a Pi3B+, a raspberry DAC Pro+ and a 5" touch screen on the front of the case, 3D printed(not yet). Ports will be on the rear side, OS is RuneAudio
for me gives the best sound quality and has a cool, GUI. HD files are stored on an ext HD connected via usb, with ots own Power supply. You can connect it both via WiFi and lan port, but it works well also stand alone. I will tell you when the project will be completed.

Is there an option to get 6.35mm jacks instead of RCAs?
