Decided to house the screen and PI in a case so dusted off the 3D printer and this is the first draft.
Repositioned the PI to the edge of the base so the phono and power sockets face backwards.
Network and USB ports on the left.
Bought a cable to go from the PI to the screen but turns out the screen is not using the standard format so 'tweaked' the cable I bought and now all is good as can be seen below:

Will design a new case which will allow me to easily add sides and back.

Updated the DAC to an R2R HAT and I have noticed an improvement in the SQ so all good (although it costs nearly ten times more than the IQ Audio DAC+ I had in before).
Currently listening to the new Foo Fighters album through it and sounding very nice indeed :)

Currently working on a case to hold the 7inch screen, PI and DAC and this is a rough first pass (3D printed - designed in FreeCAD) - shows the new R2R DAC:

A pic of the front view (the screen still has the protective cover over it - picture taken when the IQ DAC+ was still mounted hence the cables coming out of the side!)

Nice setup. What version of Volumio are you using, looks very different to the last time I tried it?

Cheers - Volumio is now at version 2.861 released December last year

used to use my rpi with volumio as a cd player with a cd rom attached and a program download. was fairly good.. alas my rpi wont connct with my pcs now. no idea why as it shows in router etc. i dont really use it now anyway. it needs unplugged and moved on i guess. Roon and all theabilities of my pathos have made it redundant.
