Who will want to run a dual monitor setup on a pi ? and yes I agree they run a lot hotter than the other models. I've used a 3b+ as my LMS server and player for years now without any problems. I'd be interested to know how you use a Khados tone bar as I would like to try using another SBC ( FriendlyElec Nanopim4 v2) as a server and player and as none of the pi DAC hats will work on them maybe a Khados is the answer. My motive for using it is you can fit a NVME M2 SSD drive via a hat and that would enable me to get rid of my external USB drive and reduce the clutter of wires. Does the Khados simply plug into a USB port ? We can't stop here this is bat country.
