Review on Raspberry Pi 4B & X400 V3.0 Metal Case with Power Switch, Heatsink, and DAC+AMP Expansion Board by James Weber

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Second choice product

I have used other Pi 4s for other projects, one of them is a media center with Libraelec, a very good operating system. I received this board and case so I can ship the music player but it's not set up that well. It doesn't seem powerful enough with the recommended power supply as the Raspberry Pi 4 doesn't have much choice, so I went with Vonumio and paid for a yearly subscription. When listening to streaming audio, the device would just turn off and never restart. I then added a second power supply to the PI and now everything works. The amp produces a good sound and seems to work quite well. Although I don't know if I can recommend it.

Pros
  • High quality metal material with electroplated finish;
Cons
  • I will write later
