Thank you for posting, pre-ordering now.
Looks like some nice upgrades in this one too.
Cheers~

Coming soon - Raspberry Pi 5. Official announcement is here. Expected to ship towards the end of October.
Did you see the bit about an NVMe hat being in the pipeline? Would be nice to slap high-speed storage using the PCIe bus on your Pi.Wow 5 amp power supply, and with that it looks like an active cooling requirement too.
Even the 4B is overkill in terms of the specs/performance needed for an endpoint, however this newer model might offer noticeable improvements for servers, especially ones housing a very large library. I'll be curious if this SoC is powerful enough to run Roon Core.

Recently I switched my Core over to Ubuntu Server, and have been watching the performance here and there. Naturally there's less memory used during operation since there's no desktop environment loaded. But the CPU performance - it looks like it is consistently throttled down to 800 MHz (Spec is 2.5 GHz per core). I don't use zones and there's typically just two endpoints. Just a bit of PEQ applied, no oversampling.Wow 5 amp power supply, and with that it looks like an active cooling requirement too.

I did make another trip to Micro Center recently, however they did not have any Pi 5 boards available nor any indication of when they'd get more.Recently I switched my Core over to Ubuntu Server, and have been watching the performance here and there.

Since my use is pretty basic, I am wondering about using Ubuntu Server for ARM on the Pi 5. I might try that this winter.
Is it wrong that I hope all these people at the computer store were buying HAL 9000?While most folks including myself had resigned themselves to patiently waiting out about about a 10-12 minute slog to the registers, other people were literally freaking out. I am saddened by the current state of humanity, people trying to cut the line, fight with someone else waiting on that line, or flag down a hurried/passing by store associate to complain vociferously about the line... on Black Friday. Toss in a few others who were coughing or sneezing with no attempt at covering their mouths, and I was beginning to regret the entire outing.
Do you have any documented source for this regarding the RPi4B? I thought all RPis need to have external clocks to solve the I2S jitter problem.Fair enough, but with that logic pCP should produce a better result as it's leaner, runs entirely in RAM, with lesser CPU utilization/noise. I think you should consider giving the RPi 4B a chance, many think it sounds better than any previous Pi for audio purposes (unless the DAC has it's own master clocking scheme). There were various articles about that some time ago, Dimdim's blog had a good description of that issue (which was only fully resolved with the RPi 4B):
