Along with a RaspberryPi 4 and the other Ian Canada products, FIFOPi Q7 II, TransportPi AES, this makes an excellent streamer. Very detailed and rich, balanced sound across the frequency range. It is easy to assemble and programming the Raspberry Pi with Ropieee is straightforward. The YouTube Gabster channel helps with this and this video is a good place to start: https://youtu.be/Tc_QfRTbb6U?si=dLAMcCxoA9bha-cP
