Amazing post, thanks for sharing.

can you share your hardware that you used ?
which usb sound card, fan, heatsink, RPi case and link if it is not a problem ;)
I will try to put something together. Been busy on a DIY kitchen re-model.

Here is a list of the items used to build the system. All bought on Amazon. A copy and paste into the search box on Amazon should pull the items up.

SaiTech IT 4 Pack 15cm Short USB 3.0 Male A to Female A Extension Cable $11.99
Extension cables used to add clearance so 2 USB dongles can be used on the Raspberry Pi (has tight spacing on the four USB ports)

Wathai 2PCS 50mm x 10mm 5V Mini Box USB Computer Fan with 3 Speed Control $10.99 (pair) (Nice quite oversize fan to keep things cool)

[5V 3A 15W] iUniker Raspberry Pi 3 Case, Power Supply With Switch for Pi 3 B+ $13.99 (nice case but comes with a tiny fan with a high pitch whine that did not cool enough when running the Pi hard)

YWBL-WH External USB Audio Card Driver USB Sound Card External Audio CM108 $7.92 (nice USB sound card with excellent audio playback and a mic input)

The heat sinks used came as part of the case above.

The audio is really good on this system, I also complied and run NRSC5 to play digital broadcast FM on this system.

Hope this helps

Wow. Thank you very much for the detail answer.

I hope I won't have any trouble setting everything up ;)

If you do have trouble let me know as I have the history and notes from the compile and install.
