DAC
Thank you for purchasing Topping DAC E30! E30 is a high performance DAC with USB, coaxial and optical inputs. It is compatible with up to 768kHz/32bit and DSD512. E30 is designed for full digital volume control and equipped with LED display screen. It can be used as not only a DAC but also preamplifier. We believe that high-quality E30 could bring you more fun at enjoying HIFI music. Contents list # E30 x1 DC cable x1 USB cable x1 User’s manual x1 Warranty card x1 Remote control x1 Info You can download the drivers and user’s manual on http://www.
A seemingly operational pCP player can be obtained via net booting, but only for wired Raspberry Pi 3B’s. More information # Netbooting piCorePlayer 3.x
Build a Squeezebox Player using a Raspberry Pi and Squeezelite, using the piCorePlayer image, which comes complete with OS and libraries. Info Raspberry Squeezie was one of the first tutorials describing how to put a piCorePlayer together. Unfortunately it is no longer available so I found a copy on the WayBack Machine and reproduced it here. I couldn’t find any contact details for the original author so its reproduced without permission.
Slimmer is a user interface controller software for Logitech Media Server. Using Slimmer and other open source software and some hardware components you can build a high quality & low-cost network audio player with a slick user interface.

Setup
This project outlines how to build a basic “standalone” piCorePlayer. As it is truly standalone, there is no method to control Squeezelite once the build is complete and disconnected from the network. The only method of playing music is via the LMS auto start command “randomplay tracks”. There is not even a way to start/stop tracks or adjust the volume, pretty useless but it shows the basic starting point. The next step will be to add some form of controller.
piCoreplayer by default supports the official Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Display . However, there are dozens of screens available for Raspberry Pi. These instructions are for a generic RPi 3.5" Display but may also give clues how to support other displays. A big thanks to nowhinjing for his Waveshare 4.1 TFT + piCorePlayer + Jivelite tutorial which was used as a starting point. What was used #Hardware # Raspberry Pi 3B—see Components - Raspberry Pi .
