This is a nice neat case that perfectly mounts the Pi4 and IQAudio DAC Pro HAT together with the fan. The plastic isn't the absolute highest quality but it all fits and the top clicks shut firmly. Whilst it has an SD card cover, this seems only to be removable by opening the main cover and unclicking the SD card cover. This is a minor gripe though as I don't see much requirement for removing the SD card in future - it just holds the OSMC operating system on my media player installation. Delivery was super-speedy at a time when we were having postal disruption.

This is a clever case, well designed to work perfectly with the pi and IQDac+/Pro. It is well worth watching this excellent video about how to put it all together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_YDR4lnh5E&ab_channel=HiPiio It all works very smoothly, but it is not entirely obvious until you properly understand how it fits together, especially the sd card cover and the clips to snap the pi in place, and the release mechanism to take the pi out again. A very nice case!

I am not a fan of plastic cases so four is perhaps a but of a mean score, but this is actually quite a good one. I'm delighted it's available with the specific fit for the IQAudio DAC+. A couple of years ago I abandoned my IQAudio/PI project due to support and case issues, so this with Rapsberry Pi's takeover of IQAudio has enabled me to get the wheels back on so to speak, albeit now vying with a homebrew project which is clearly important.

Easy as Pi to click in the board and click out again. Holes all align correctly. Would buy another HighPi case again, no problem.

Case probably needs the fan as with the DAC the cpu gets very hot (70C).

The IQAudio DAC+/DAC Pro for Raspberry Pi fit really well together: the case is easy to build and the fit is exemplary. Just ordered the second set for in Home use with Volumio!
