uses standard atx 24 and 4 pin power.
no dc conversion on the board.
2ghz quad core Celeron and only 10watt.
you could run this off a linear PS setup or a good PS like leadtek or seasonic.
I am grabbing one myself.
The dvi version is easier to come by at the moment, and is highlighted in item audios post.
The J1900 version is a good second alternative to the J1800 board: either are radically better than the SFF boards for audio application, and barely more expensive. Resamples lower-rate DSD all day. As long as you don't use it with a PicoPSU, it's a little beauty.

quad core v's dual core. gives ore flexibility with using the machine for video playback.
I would go with the J1900, its still low voltage
It would be nice if the J series CU's had AVX.
But looks like you need an (i) processor for that unfortunately.

If you want to get more serious about your Pi build . . .
Replace the ES9023 with an ES9018k2m-based I2S board like this this one and feed it with a 3 wire I2S signal connection from the Pi. Boards and power requirements vary.
Bypass the Pi's onboard 5 > 3.3V linear regulator and power it via a 3.3V LiFePo battery and upgrade the 19.2MHz with a Tentlabs or similar module fed with a separate clean 5V supply (ideally battery).
Hardwire better interconnects.
Install Volumio/MPD instead of Raspbian. This, and the 3.3V mod will rob the Pi of its ability as a multimedia player (no video output or playback), but it will fairly significantly improve its performance.
hi mark has someone managed to replace a clk on the pi?
might give it another look then so
can confirm the pi works best on lifepo4
sd card player, modded soekris dac, class a lifepo4 amp or gb class a/b amp, diy open baffle speakers based on project audio mundorf trio 10's
