PolyVector says the board offers features comparable to Chromecast audio but in a module that’s completely open source.

A Berlin developer has launched the VoltaStream Zero, a hand-crafted and open-source integrated audio module in the same form as a Raspberry Pi Zero.

Despite the similar form to the Raspberry Pi Zero, the VoltaStream Zero from PolyVection is an entirely different platform, thanks to its in-built Texas Instruments (TI) digital audio converters (DACs). Their inclusion partially explains the VoltaStream Zero’s price, which starts at €50 ($52) compared with the Raspberry Pi Zero’s $5.
