What kind of wrap-up is that???
What I know of your system I'd suggest you better get rid of all your RPis.
Every airplay/shairplay or bluetooth DAC/speaker setup will be able
to compete with all your 13 RPi's and you save a lot of power
and do something for your CO2 footprint. You also save numerous admin
hours for your private network.
IMO every serious audiophile must consider a M2-SSD driven RPi5.
There are more than one reason... Speed and efficiency is just one point.
Beside that:
There are numerous (passive cooling) cases out there. Not sure why anybody would want a transparent non-cooling case and some funny micro cooling fins.
And yep the RPi5 runs the same low idle consumption as the RPI4.
Which is great considering what's on the board. But that's known for a while.
Anyhow. I am sure you found the right model for your own non-audiophile application.
Enjoy.
