Hi Greg, this is it. The case is one from Douk audio (Amazon, eBay etc.)
and I 3D printed a front panel to take the screen. The touch screen
(HDMI/USB) based actually looks better in the flesh with the morie
patten being caused by the camera.

Not a huge deal but with HDMI screens and USB touchscreen drivers it
takes a little more effort to hook it up and code it to work but the
main reason for not using a HDMI screen on this project was cable and
connector management. The HiFi setup has plenty of space around the
screen to house the connections, part of the reason the front panel is
so big. For the in-wall setup I did not have this space if I was to fit
it in a standard UK double gang back box. The added benifit is that its
pretty much plug and play being a DSI screen. The only thing that did
not work was backlight dimming which most people won't be bothered
about. A little effort resolved that too.

The setup is a Pi 3+ with a modified wifi setup to allow the use of an
external antenna. On top of that sits the Allo BOSS DAC HAT. I used two
separate supplies, one for the Pi logic and another for the Allo DAC.
Originally the setup was based on a Pi3 and I had two identical PSUs but
the 3+ needed a little top up at 5.1V to prevent PSU throttling.

It has been used daily in my office/workshop and has been bullet proof.
Just switched off at the wall when not in use. Below it is an LDR preamp
with an OLED display but after a lot of work I'm not convinced on the
merrits of LDRs in this application so this will be one of my next
projects. Finally the amp which is based on a pair of Tom Christiansen's
excellent Modulus-86 amps
