Ten million Raspberry Pis have been sold according to the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37305200).

How many NSCers have one (or more) ?

Many have received versions for free via the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charity.

This charity is doing some delicious work.

I have one running the audio for my Hi Fi using Moode player and it is very good.

Mind you, the Pi was £35 and I replaced its switching power supply with a £200 linear power supply.

I don't know what it a Raspberry Pi is. Add an 'e' on the end and I'll be much wiser.

One of mine is running moode too (Your recommendation I think).

I also have one running a home fileserver, one as a Kodi box, one under development as a central heating controller, one for taking on holiday for general use and a pi zero that, at four pounds was too cheap to resist.

2 here in Spain - both fully loaded with Kodi and supplying all TV and radio needs. Fantastic little things.

If you want to listen to quality sound then you have to pay the price. Power supplies to almost all bits of electronics are key. The switching power supply to the Pi is probably manufactured for a few pence. You figure it out.

I've got a few covering all the versions Zero, A, B, 2, etc. Most aren't doing anything currently due to me being a lazy git but I do have one set up as a NAS/music streamer and another set up as a night camera with motion detection.
