It's a cheap little ($26) HDMI display from Amazon, driven by my WiiM HDMI script on GitHub, running on either a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W or an Inovato Quadra.

Hi @Achim1811 What kind of music is this?One of the once legendary and/or infamous Charly Antolini recordings.
Be careful with the volume knob, your speakers will be thankful.
For me two or three tracks are most of the time enough, it can strain ones ears.

Drums, simply drums
we used it as speaker killers during the 90s...Every year friends and I play a little game. Create a very personal playlist of less than one hour. My, this time not by a software chosen, tracks are the following.
The original or even a re-release Knock Out vinyl from the late 80s (not on any streaming service) was together with the Telarc of Tschaikowskys 1812 and Beethoven's Wellington the criterion for cartridges (jump) and speakers (membrane killers).Drums, simply drums

I always recall track 22 on this Hi Fi News test CD coming with a warning of “It’s important to set the correct level before playing this track. It is recommended that the playback level should be set so that the voices from the children … are as loud as they would be if you were standing 100 metres away from them.”
Don’t recall if I was ever brave enough to play the track— and these days, I wouldn’t be able to hear children 100m away

The booklet that came with the CD is full of recording techniques and playback details like that, what types of mics were used etc. I think I’ve played it once
Don’t think I ever ripped it - I might do that and see how it sounds (track 22 apart..) via my WiiMs.

Sad that things haven't quite turned out as we might have hoped...

This young girl appeared on what looks and sounds like the Russian version of The Voice (yes, I know, but...)
There are some videos on YT where she sings 'Human' (Rag'n'Bone Man) and 'Wicked Game' (Chris Izaak) which are amazing (apart from the awful screaming audience). Worth hunting down
Here she is singing in a calmer more traditional manner
