“I've been using a Pi 3B, and 4B as a PlexAmp streamer, which worked fine until I tried to stream a DSD 64, and they both buffered. I configured the Pi 5, and tested the DSD streame, and it work perfectly, demenstrating how much more processing power it has.”
“I've had every model of the Raspberry Pi since they were first launched, and I have used them both personally and professionally. I have to say that I had high hopes for the Pi 5 (mine is the 4GB version) and I was not disappointed. Performance is excellent, quality is amazing as you would expect and it has been an amazing upgrade on the already excellent Pi 4. Cannot recommend this highly enough.”
“2nd one so I like them. Used as NAS, PiHole etc. Faster than a Pi4, Pi4 still useful an value for money. But Pi5 8Gb or 16Gb versions are more expensive then adding on all the necessary bits similar cost to mini pc. .the Pi5 4GB version is value.”
“Running OMV, really loads up fast so makes adding, removing and editing content a pleasure.
As of today running on a external nvme drive, I am ordering a internal drive today to make life even better.
Note, most suggested alternative nvme sdd are now end of life or have issues. I have decided to go with WD black as this has very good feedback.”
