I have a similar but slightly less annoying gripe with the tiny JBL Go. They have start-up and shutdown chimes. It's not even very loud, if you turn the device on during the day. But what's normal during the day can be extremely loud if the whole house is asleep. I just want to listen to a little bit of music on the lowest volume, but before I can do that, it has to wake up the whole house first.
Just a tiny - beep - is fine, which they had on the first JBL Go. But in the name of progress, all subsequent models have have a loud DUM DUMMM.
JBL are assholes.

You don't do it for the profit, at least not at this point. The BitAxe is the cheapest (and most efficient) to run. It's expensive for the hashpower, but the idea is that it'll fund future development of the Open Source Miners United project.
Purely economical, the Canaan packs a lot of punch for the price point. The Braiins miner is a bit in the middle.
BitAxe 0.5 Th / 14W ~$150 (or a lot less if you DIY)
Braiins 1 Th / 40W ~$199 (or €199, unclear at this point)
Canaan 4 Th / 140W ~$150
Most numbers are approximate. I've added them to my calculator, so you can play around with the economics.

TIL you can press the BOOT button to go to the next screen on the display of the #BitAxe. This is new in firmware 2.1.8.
Case builder challenge: expose this button.
You have to rip out the Sonos stuff and get the music metadata from somewhere. If you're playing music from your phone on a bt speaker, that's going to be tricky. If you use a laptop, my guess is that would be fairly easy.
I have it running on a RPi with a display, so it also shows the album art on my desk. You might need to rip that out as well, can't remember if I made it really configurable.
