Berryaudio is a diy open source audiophile audio player / streamer for Raspberry Pi designed for for pure music listening experience with a beautifully crafted, responsive, touch-optimized user interface. — No ads, no subscription, just pure rich, high-resolution playback and a sleek beautiful responsive UI for your DAC setup.
Built using gstreamer, python as server, reactjs & typescript as client, designed for smooth performance across touch displays, Building your own custom music system headless or with an attached display.
"As an audiophile, a software engineer, and someone who loves building own products, I’ve always wanted an audio system/streamer built with my own preferred tech stack—something modern, intuitive, and truly customizable. With modern hardware,computing power and with a vision to preserve offline experiences & privacy, I’m convinced you can build almost anything without relying on the cloud services. After years of missing the simplicity of Winamp and the smart features of old MusicMatch (some of you might not even remember those days), along with the charm of classic audio systems, I finally decided to create something for myself. So today, I’m starting that journey: building a DAC setup that blends the best of modern features with the soul of legacy audio systems." - Varun Gujjar
