You can add a screen to your current setup and install Jivelite which is avaiable under Tweaks in PiCore player. The interface is quite clean screen shot attached

For me Bluetooth is not a must as the audio quality is not on par with other inputs. Even phono preamp its always preferred to be dedicated than in-built it will just add cost to the unit.

Quite happy with the setup but a dedicated streamer hardware with great software might improve the sound quality a bit more and I trust Fosi will deliver my expectation. I mostly stream from Tidal and my collection is on a hard drive directly connected to Raspberry Pi.

I have used audio through HDMI only on my AVR as most dedicated DACs don’t have HDMI input, on ZD3 also have not tried HDMI as I don’t have a micro hdmi to hdmi cable so cant comment on it. Usually USB audio is a solved case especially with new XMOS chipsets and clocks in modern DACs so I trust...

Currently I am using my own cooked up streamer made with Raspberry pi - picore player - LMS - Material Skin. USB out from this goes to my ZD3 now. Customized the skin so that the settings and icons. Settings are hidden from web app so that no canhes can be made by users at home. I would love to...

“The S3 as a stand alone streamer, no DAC, no screen or preamp, just a simple LED light to tell me it is powered on.” This is exactly what I want so all efforts put towards good power supply so we get a clean output through USB for full bandwidth and then a great simple OS similar to Wiim...

The unit looks great and not many changes recommended physically other than the ones suggested above. In terms of the display when used as preamp it should show the volume in large font for easy reading from a distance. Hope it comes with a basic remote for changing volume and input selection.

This is great news, I am in the process of making the same by combining your products with raspberry pi based streaming software. Will be great if your team can create the same, looking forward for your product release.
