Thread: Raspberry Pi 4 Released

    Default Raspberry Pi 4 Released

    Not totally unexpected, but perhaps a lot sooner than people thought, the new RPi4 is released:

    https://www.raspberrypi.org/products...-pi-4-model-b/

    Multiple upgrades seem to have answered most criticisms, with a choice of memory capacities, at not unreasonable prices.

    I've a 4GB version ordered...

    Brilliant.
    Thanks for the heads up Paul.
    I’m flying back from Greece tomorrow and so will order when I get home.
    Be really interesting to see if there is any difference in SQ, especially with DigiOne

    Cheers

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    What do you guys think the improvement will be (over a 3) when applying it to a hifi set up?
    Hifi: Innuos Zen Mini MKIII > Fisual Hollywood Optical > Quad Vena II > Custom Clyde interconnects > TA Monoblocks > Tellurium Black > Reiver Millburn MK II (Custom super tweeters & TQ Black Jumpers).

    I read about that! I’m waiting to see just how it works out. I hate to be the first to do anything. But one thing is for sure, the prices of the 3 will drop! Seriously, I await to hear how it goes.

    I was on the verge of jumping into the deep end, but now I’m inclined to wait, by the time I’m ready to jump in again, the 5 will come out.

    I have read previously that the 3 provided better sq than the previous version (the 2 I guess?!)
    All mine are earlier versions (2’s)so I should gain.
    Now whether there is any difference between a 3 and the new 4 is another issue.

    So would your accessory boards fit the 3? Can you just buy the 3, or even the 4, and add your existing cards and go? Because a new 3 isn’t expensive, and now that the 4 is out, it’s bound to get cheaper.

    It’s a good question. I think so.
    The 3 was compatible with the earlier version, and I saw this on Darko audio so I’m hoping that the same will apply for the 4 and the HATS I already have. Will find out soon.. the new pi has been dispatched.
