Hifiberry Dac2HD: Which software for a standalone player ?

I already use runeaudio since about 5 years on a raspberry pi based system and with a NAS on my main hifi system.

I just got my Dac2 HD board, and would like to build a new audio system,

Requirements are: Stand alone player with an integrated 500GB SSD Disk plus a small 1.3" Oled display. Rather for the looks. Control via Browser and a the hifiberry remote control.But I am open to other ideas about displays.

I found several projects like this one: https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled

Now the question:

What OS would you recommend ? I will connect to the dac with an ipad but also buy the small remote for volume control.

Hifiberry OS sounds good but I don't know if I can run/configue a display

Runeaudio: Know it well, works well

Ideas would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards

You can add a display to HiFIBerryOS, but you have to develop something ;-)
I think, there is one user working on something similar:

And BTW: LaMetric is supported directly:

(though is't not really 1.3" ;-)
