Hi, is it possible to mount the RPi 3 with the DAC+ into the DAC+ steel case?

I can't see any information as to whether these are compatible?

Kind regards.

  The Raspberry Pi 3 fits into the steel case.

  Chris,

  I just came here to tell that I think my internal Wifi issues are related to the steel case. Please, if you mount it in the Steel case, let me know if you can have internal wifi working as along with the DAC into, and out of the Steel case.

  Hi,

  metal enclosures in general have an impact on wireless data transmission. The manufacturer of the steel case has tested it in several locations and found only slight effects on wireless transmission speed. However, if the reception isn't perfect without the case, you might have even more problems with the steel case.

  For optimal transmissions I would recommend wired Ethernet as it is more reliable in general, especially in environments with a lot of other WLAN networks around.

  Best regards
  Daniel
