I just installed Volumio on my pi, added a dac and is quite content with my solution. The only thing I am curious about is how the pi being always on will affect its lifetime, or what would be a good routine for keeping it accessible, while keeping it well maintained?
My Pi4 is with me since more than a year. Running day and night. A cheap cooling box, no more attention. CPU temp always between 45 to 52° celsius. I use it only for streaming Qobuz and Tidal with Volumio. No issues so long. What more to expect from a 40 € item?
My setup has run for around 3 years now, it’s always on (unless there’s a power outage). Mine is an R Pi3B+ and Allo Boss DAC.
I routinely have my lil boards run for months on end with no issues… This here was an early buster beta for last year…

These things are quite hardy, and care is taken to ensure you don’t run though SD cards!
