I love it!

It gets used every day at my house, and i have build a ryobi battery powered portable speaker for when i am working outside. I typically use RPi3 and RPi0, with an amp-hat to power speakers.

does anyone else use it? and if so, what is your setup and have you found any decent hardware/solutions?

I have speakers througout the house wired to my mechanical room and divided in 3 groups so I use a Pi4 with 3 USB sound cards with small amps

I am not sure what speaker setup I'd like when I move though! I might do it differently!

Yeah cool.

I went fully remote, 3 rPi's and Amp Hats directly to the local speakers.

That's what I was thinking for the next build. Having all clients running on the same Pi isn't necessarily the best idea, espacially with the Pi4 as the USB controller have a buffer issue I didn't have on my Pi3 when running multiple USB soundcards

i have been using these, with the first one my main one at the moment, as the suptronix one is more expensive and harder to get hold of. I typically install dietPi, as the audio setup tends to be easier.
