Pi-Server is dead, long live Pi-Fi

With the addition of a HiFiBerry DAC board from Crazy Audio and a USB WiFi adapter, my Pi-Server is now a stand-alone Hi Fi audio source which provides it's own wireless network so that it can be controlled by anything with  WiFi and a web browser.  I've also replaced the USB flash drives with an SSD.

I've written the whole thing up in a bit more detail, although there's nothing about the software set-up process (might add that if anyone asks).  It's on my ancient blueyonder personal web page here, which also shows an intermediate stage with a USB hub and 4 flash drives that I never got around to mentioning before:

Erm, edit: Blueyonder (i.e. Virgin Media) have scrapped their users' personal web sites, so this no longer exists.  -I.N. July 2020.

Oh, and it now has a new, glowing badge.
