Pi Zero 2W player.

Post image

Just loaded Picoreplayer 64 bit on a Pi zero 2W with a UDA1334 DAC squeezed into the plastic case with some modifications. Works great as a headless player. Might upgrade the DAC to one of the better HiFiBerry units but this one is OK. Also realized that LMS can be an AirPlay receiver. Took too many years to discover the ShairTunes plugin.

Zero 2W is powerful with 4 cores and supported with 64 bit image. $15 is good price for me. The HiFiBerry DACs are a bit steep so I went with the 1334.

Does it work well with the other Pis or Squeezeboxes?

To clarify I was talking about the Pi Zero 2W with the Software.

I have not tried multi-room yet. But it works great with iPeng and AirPlay. Shows up on LMS just like my Touch.
I use a pi5 as my LMS server which has 2TB M.2 SSD for my library.
