Rockbox Player - Project to design and build a Free/Open hardware audio player

[speachy]

There are "UPS" HATs for the RPi Zero that seem to do what we want, but the quality/functionality is all over the place.  The better ones don't come with a battery, so expect to spend about $50 for something that doesn't suck (eg the JuiceBox Zero) with a relatively reputable battery (2500mAh) that should allow you to hit your 10 hour target.  Granted that depends on how hungry the DAC and the display happen to be.

Was the Radio chip Si4720 ever decided on? Or also FM recording & Voice Recording?

Just wondering, thanks. =)

Hi,

I think a much better platform to start will be Arietta G25 due to its very low power consumption and general more suitable parameters as an DAP. Also is quite cheap. Has dedicated I2C just for an audio DAC.
