Nice neat wiring job! Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Is it utilizing a Raspberry Pi? What is the streaming source, ie. local USB media or network service? Never heard of this before.

thanks. Yes it’s a Pi based streamer, then using all Ian Canada components (Linear power supplies, reclocker, Dac, and balanced output stage)
I have it setup as a network (LAN input only) but there are other boards you can get for USB, I2S, spdif.
This video explains more.
Gabster built the endgame unit. Mine is more mid tier( only because I’m not using those huge ultracap power supplies)

New flexi AV rack...should be finished next month. Picture shows it being assembled while laying on its top. I am waiting for some more carbon fiber tubes and a few little parts before the bottom is attached...then I will have a single matching shelf on top with spiked feet. Rack is made of Parota hardwood, steel, allthread, and carbon fiber tubing withvball casters.

Awesome. Did you fabricate all the steelwork?

Sadly no, I could have done this when I was younger, but with heart and lung problems, I no longer can. I drew up the design for the steel and then had my neighbor weld it. Then I took it to a bodysuit and had them grind the welds flat and reweld whoever there was gaps and grind again until it was good. Then they painted them with automotive paint in a charcoal metallic grey. The whole rack was done by me specifying what I needed and then ordering or going to a carpenter to get it made. I do the design/assembly part only.

Glad you liked it...I will post up more picks in my thread as changes/improvements are made.
