Despite the looks, there’s adequate ventilation. And man I need to swap out that table cloth this week.

They look like the industrial one I used for MCTH, which is an easy fit in this: https://leeselectronic.com/en/product/10129-enclosure-instrument-case-lu-695.html

First one done and working beautifully: https://i.imgur.com/V0B0iM2.jpg

@Biodegraded those are legit cases, but I want something a little more pleasing to the eye. I’m going to draw two cases up and print them.

And the Pi2AES PSU. https://i.imgur.com/CiYezxU.jpg

Nice work! Although I will say that it is probably better to mod and use a good 5V PSU for Pi2AES - https://goldensound.audio/2021/07/22/pi2aes-streamer-measurements-and-5v-psu-mod-instructions/

Interesting. I can try this easily, since one of the PSUs in this thread is a 5V LPS for another RPi. I wasn't aware of this aspect of the Pi2AES. I've seen similar measurements on just swapping from the stock PSU to a linear 24v PSU.

It would have been nice to see this link also show measurements against a 24v LPS, since the author seems to assume much of the noise is from 5v switching, which some of it is, but a lot comes from the stock PSU. I probably would have gone for a 5v LPS if I saw this earlier. He could also have hooked up a 5v SMPS this way and measured for comparison.

I think the 24V input just hits another switcher/regulator. The 5V mod in that link bypasses that regulator.
