| + | * Dupont color-wire connectors |

| + | |
| + | Of course, other arrangements are possible and some people is working in different ones: |

| + | |
| + | ===Zynthian Case=== |
| + | |
| + | It's the enclosure used to put on all the parts. Again, this tutorial refers to the "cannonical" zynthian aluminum case: |
| + | |
| + | [[File:Zynthian_aluminum_case_kit.jpg|600px]] |
| + | |
| + | This case is designed to be used in conjunction with the next parts: |
| + | |
| + | + Raspberry Pi 2/3 |
| + | + Soundcard HifiBerry DAC+ (also pro & lite) |
| + | + Display Adafruit PiTFT 2.8" touchscreen (or clonic version) |
| + | |
| + | The case is available as a kit, with all the needed connectors, knobs, bolts & nuts. |
| + | |
| + | If you intend to use a different soundcard or display, probably won't fit the case and you will have to modify it. Of course, you can build your own case like other people has done: |
