Mentioned in earlier posts are the Geekworm, which is not a full enclosure case, but looks OK and is very inexpensive. Other ones posted here.
Powering the RPi and DAC separately can be done in a couple of ways. You can use a stacking header (or here) to connect to ProtoDAC and remove pins 2 and 4. That disconnects GPIO power from the ProtoDAC. Then connect power to the 5V and GND pads between the RCA jacks on the ProtoDAC.
A permanent method is to pull GPIO header pins 2 and 4 before soldering the header to ProtoDAC.
If you are using an Allo Kali (and probably other reclockers), there is a jumper (labeled SBC) on the Kali does the same thing. Power provided to the Kali provides power to the ProtoDAC.
