Louder Esparagus

Small update on the Louder Esparagus and Louder Raspberry media centers. Now available in the NOPD variant, which is essentially a possibility to power the device from a dumb old power adapter, instead of a USB-PD enabled power source (and squeeze a little more power out of the TAS5805M DAC). Otherwise, boards have the same performance and software support.

Hey everyone.
I passed the formalities necessary to actually start a Crowd Supply campaign to support production of the Esparagus series boards. 

If you're a hobbyist maker it is actually very hard to produce these small projects in small volumes, because of fundamental costs of initial development. When you know in advance what kind of volumes you should expect to produce, it is much easier to build up an adequate price for the unit. 

Public campaigns also help to understand if a product is finally ready for a launch, as adding improvements and new features is a never-ending effort. At some point you have to say "Although it's not perfect, it's sufficiently near".

I invite everyone interested to subscribe to campaign updates, as in coming weeks I will need to work hard to finalize the design and prepare for the production run, which will strongly depend on the community interest.
