Building a Hi-Res transport on a Pi is a great project, especially feeding a naniDigi with 4 DACs - sounds like a seriously high-fidelity setup! Glad you found the latest RERN +R e3 distro that worked for you, RERN does fantastic work.
A custom, minimalist UI for your music player is a perfect first step in customizing your Pi. Basic artist, song info, bitrate, cover art and time is exactly what you need – clean and functional. Did you use any specific tools or libraries to build the UI? I'd love to hear more about your progress!

I am a complete novice in all this programming, and learning as I go.
I have tried plenty OS distros to build myself a nice Hi-res transport, which will feed a naniDigi with 4 DAC's for my JBL based monitors.
So ended with the latest +R e3 distro from RERN. What an awesome guy to do all this work. Finaly got the sound to work too, previous version didnt worked for me.
Then I started to play with the UI. On a very basic level. What I wanted was a HDMI UI which shows only the necessary. i.e. Artist, Song, BITRATE, coverart and elapsed time.
This is what I ended up with.
I repeat, have totaly no idea what im doing here. On a Microsoft surface go the UI looks the same, gonna try it on an android phone, because there the orientation is portrait. Hope it will be ok.
BTW, have a Allo Digione on order as well.
Still looking for suitable linear power supply and/or battery powered. I want to have clean supply of volts to the Rpi.
