In Reply to: RE: RPi option with a screen posted by mlsstl on August 30, 2020 at 11:45:12
Since I'm using it mostly as a DLNA endpoint I don't think I need the touchscreen. I could see that if it were to be my server though. I've already been using Volumio as it supports DLNA, and run Audirvana on my iMac as my server. I like browsing Qobuz on the big screen and I'm always finding albums that way that I miss when I use my phone with the small screen.
Great sound for sure with very little knowledge needed, contrary to what a lot of people keep claiming here and elsewhere.

I just wanted the thread to show the bigger range of options available with the RPi.
To be honest, I don't use the touch screen on mine much in terms of controlling the music -- I have a Kindle Fire that I use as my primary method to select and play music. However, I do like the way the RPi with the screen displays the album info (or its VU meters, depending on my mood) when playing. And, as a bonus, it has a great clock feature that can display when the system is off.
Frankly, I find the display capabilities of even a lot of expensive streamers to often be embarrassingly poor.
The screen on my Topping E30 has all the info I usually need, the sample rate! I can barely see my 50" big screen TV these days, never mind my iPhone, and a 7" screen across the room is mostly just useless. Now a 7" touchpad that is wirelessly connected to the RPi might be useful, that could sit on the coffee table. But what I'm using to control the music is Audirvana Remote on either my iPhone or iPad, and that is likely to stay.Anyway, so many options, so many ways to do it. This is why I don't get the dedicated streaming boxes.
