Have a look at the audiophonics portfolio:

It'll give you some ideas.

When it comes to distro.

Try Moode Audio. It'll provide you several playback options and is IMO ahead of PiCorePlayer, Volumio and Rune. Latest version comes also with squeezelite.
It's the only image I'm aware of that comes with MPD (standalone player) and squeezelite (network client) .
(Note: I'm involved a little in the Moode project (kernel, squeezelite, tunings). I'm not 100% neutral on this one.)


I'm running iFi iPower as power supply for my Pi.

Stay away from attaching displays. This will cause extra load and might have impact to your sound quality.
There are numerous control apps under Android and iOS. No idea why anybody would like to attach a display.

The USB port needs a turbo (there are plenty of USB audio gadgets around) . Otherwise it falls behind quality ports from other machines.


You can't expect to just boot up an image on the PI and you'll be set.

The tinkering around the PI is the fun part though.


Good luck.
