Volumio update
Kitchen #Volumio player upgraded to latest version, which required an SD reflash. It runs on a #Pi 3, with DAC and soundbar on top of the kitchen units. And also a lot of dust!

My son spotted this curiosity in a charity shop and bought it for me. It’s a bit of a novelty item, but actually rather good! Have you come across it, @sidsmith.bsky.social ?
