Please excuse my stupidity, but are you powering your Pi via the Hifiberry? Looks like it. Some details of your power supply would be appreciated.
Another question, do you link to NASvia wireless, or how to you access your music? The setup looks very polished. Well done.

I bought a 5V regulated power supply, and connected it to the HifiBerry via the 5V input on it. You need to be careful to use a regulated power supply and measure the (slightly) variable output, or your RPi could be damaged.

Otherwise, my setup is as described earlier in this thread:
* Amp: Topping TP-20 mkII
* Speakers: Dynaco A25

Nice and clean enclosure too. If you have space left for it inside the case, consider to add a IEC filtered socket: it brings some improvements especially in the case of Rpi (which doesn't have the cleanest power circuitry ever built...). I had one left lying around like this one:
It's even

Thanks ACX,
As the PSU itself is regulated, I wasn't sure if there was anything to gain by using an IEC filtered socket. Although this little player sounds better than ever before, it couldn't hurt. I'll have a look around to see if I can find any at a decent price.
Using the MicroSD adapter gave the space needed inside the enclosure:
