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

Berryaudio has been tested on the following Raspberry Pi (Bookworm OS). While it should work with other versions of Pi aswell feel free to share your tests so it can be added to the list below.

Below are the list of DACs that have been tested and are confirmed to work out of the box. More will be added as testing progresses. If you have a DAC you’d like to see supported, or are able to provide a board for testing, we’d be happy to include it on the platform—your contributions are always welcome!

Below are the list of Displays that have been tested and are confirmed to work out of the box. More will be added as testing progresses. If you have a Display you’d like to see supported, or are able to provide a board for testing, we’d be happy to include it on the platform—your contributions are always welcome!

Berry Audio is released under the MIT License.
Fork it, modify it, and build your perfect listening setup.

We welcome your contributions! Based on functionality and code quality, contributions may be integrated directly into the core system or offered as user-contributed modules that can be installed separately.
