Hi Folks, RPI5 is a significant jump in performance over RPI4 and really opens up for a lot of possibilities to be used whether as a audio streamer or a network audio end point.
I got to admit I am obsessed with playing with the RPI5 and amazed at what it can achieve for $100.
Overclocked stably at 2800Hz with this bad boy CPU fan, I am currently running Hqplayer deskop app in Debian bookworm headless (without keyboard/mouse/monitor).
It is capable to process upsampling on the fly to PCM24/1536 or DSD256 (so Chord dacs users will no longer need a Mscaler), process audiolense full frequency convolution filters. Hqplayer even has a built-in Qobuz streaming app, and has network audio end point capabilities, so I can process qobuz streaming and direct it to any one of my 4 music systems at home with preset convolution filters and other settings specific for each room.
Can you ask for anything more for $100???
YES YOU CAN, I also have IMMICH server set up with the RPI5, so after midnight, it automatically backs up my iphone photos and videos then onto my wife's google pixel 8 and do machine learning processes for photo identification, sorting, face detection/recognition ...... So no longer have to worry about paying for icloud/google cloud storage. My wife absolute loves it.
My kids love it for retro gaming with us on the weekend too!!!
Cheers
