Finished my Squeezebox Touch emulator this weekend:
Raspberry Pi 2 with Squeeze-on-Arch loaded and the Jivelite GUI for the 7"touchscreen (Official Raspberry Pi issue) and a TI/BurrBrown based DAC. Works great and looks fantastic on the 7" screen. Also acts as an interface for selecting music/playlists for other Squeezeplayers or to sync other players.
Next: I now have to do is to set the VU meters on the "playing now" screen to be working correctly (somehow set the "sensitivity" I guess)
Next: Test the setup as a media-server as well.
The Arch Linux installs for the Raspberry 3 is still the 32bit as is used by the Raspi 2. But, apart from having to fit USB wifi dongle, I see no real world benefit of using the PI 3. Handles 96Bit 192kHz HD audio with ease, and have a dsd to Flac plugin if you have to play DSD files - if the DSD playback ability is required this may not be the solution for you.
Will post pictures tonight.
Regards.
