Just got notified re this from RS Online... Needs a different program though it seems. Dunno if it still works with same dacs as the 2... Needs a bigger psu as well

The announcement on the Rasberry blog seems to indicate that projects related to earlier models will work so looks like no problems on that score; they do recommend a 5v @ 2.5A supply though...

"For Raspberry Pi 3, Broadcom have supported us with a new SoC, BCM2837. This retains the same basic architecture as its predecessors BCM2835 and BCM2836, so all those projects and tutorials which rely on the precise details of the Raspberry Pi hardware will continue to work. "

"All of the connectors are in the same place and have the same functionality, and the board can still be run from a 5V micro-USB power adapter. This time round, we’re recommending a 2.5A adapter if you want to connect power-hungry USB devices to the Raspberry Pi."

More power, more H/W, I wonder if that means more noise too...will the Pi 2 become more sought after, for audio streaming purposes...:eyebrows:
