"One Over Four" is a compact, high-resolution music streamer that I built using a Raspberry Pi and the Volumio OS. The device features an OLED display for song information, high-quality RCA output, custom cases for aesthetic design, and a VU meter unit for visualizing the music and monitoring volume levels.
My goal was to create a fully functional music streamer that's only a quarter of the size of a typical 40cm width hi-fi component, while also incorporating a vintage outlook design that matches my preferences. Additionally, I recently added an 8" touch display for song browsing and displaying beautiful cover art.

I've recently upgraded my setup with a Raspberry Pi 4B, a power purifier hat, and an ES9038Q2M DAC with an 8" touch screen. While the new configuration is slightly taller, measuring 5.5cm instead of the original 4cm, I'm excited about the improved performance and functionality.

Features: Local network file or airplay streaming, displaying the currently playing song or system information on the OLED, turning on the VU meter unit, retrieving the cover art online, and combining it into a poster to display on the Meural digital frame.

Without an electronics engineering background, I had to start with small steps such as case design, component sourcing, soldering (and occasionally burning :D), Python programming, and interface design for the OLED control ... to logo and sticker design that I am familiar with. Despite the challenges, it is a lot of fun to put all of these elements together!
