Don’t be sad. Every time when you see an other project you will think damn that’s an great idea ^^

@barnosch
Max2play is the shop that sells it on Amazon too. Postage is 13,99€ to Austria via DHL Express. There aren’t many shops selling amps for the pi.

Yeah the flick will be great, I want an easy contactless way to change volume when I’m in the bathroom (for the first). So any button or rotary switch with wet hands could be problematic, so I searched for an contactless way. I’ll try the flick and will inform you about the performance.

Streaming:
I use spotify (https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify). Raspotify is great cause it is easy to use and runs stable. The advantage of raspotify is everyone can stream on it (not only one account). Like Amazon Alexa when you say: “Alexa spotify connect”, everybody can connect to the echo.

@barnosch
I do. I didn’t tried them, but I did a comparison.

Hifiberry Amp2 (65,64€ Amazon):
https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-amp2/

Justboom Amp HAT (69,6€ Amazon):
https://www.justboom.co/product/justboom-amp-hat/

Basically they are the same. Both using the same Texas Instruments Chip (TAS5756M) . So the specs are identically (2x30W) so I think electronics around the chip are probably also the same.
And cost almost the same 🙈 the Justboom has more features. Like Softmute, Hardware mute, IR control, etc. etc. etc. eeeetc.

The JB HAT has spaces for the camera cable and display cable. None of the hifiberry have them. So big minus for the hifiberrys. And pins for the Rpidisplay (what ever).

The speakers aren’t so small (https://www.neuhold-elektronik.at/catshop/product_info.php?cPath=242_253&products_id=6537) but they are quite flat.

And flat speakers are what I’m looking for. They are designed for TVs so they are quite good for higher Hz (voice and music) but due the small cones, the don’t have much Bass (Deep Hz lower than 110Hz are missing) and so you will hear that (I play with the idea to add an crossover with a pair of exciters for the bass, said in an other thread here).
One speaker 10W RMS/20W peak @4Ohm. I’m using two per side, so ~20W RMS @8Ohm left and right. It’s not perfect but with the exciters I think it will be almost perfect for me.

Next step, add the Flick HAT to control the volume :

I don’t know if the flick works with the hifiberry amp2 also (I do not really care cause I have the JB)

Pictures, yeah sure! I will post more till the end of the project :) next steps will be the flick and the frame, … the LEDs (indirect RGBs around the mirror) direct above (1m CW/WW Led strip like this: https://www.lampenwelt.at/100-cm-breite-led-spiegellampe-esther.html? ) and so on… and on and on ^^

@bucci
Cool!

@cruunnerr
I’m working 🙄 didn’t test anything yet 😅

@retroflex probably we need some code to clear the ram periodically. I think my problem module is the MMM-Globe. But I will have to test it. (about 10 modules… So one module per day… Uff that’s a looooong way.

@mochman
It’s an amplifier for the Pi, it’s a bit stronger than the hifiberry amplifier Hat. :)

I got the same problem with an TV, around 6 to 9h it went black and I had to restart MM

Hi guys,

So that’s my project the final version should be some 120x80cm big frameless, thin, magicmirror, with a lot of sound power, indirect/direct led lightning and so on.

Here are some pictures:

Update 09.02.2018:
Added the Flick HAT. Easy installation and fast response volume changes. Distance trough wood or plexy will be tested soon.

Added new media:
