Sceptic over Server Differences now puzzled ?

Interesting. From what I have read, the 8GB and 4GB versions are identical except for RAM. The 4GB version seems to be using swap space on the disk when running LMS. Perhaps, the 8GB version does everything in RAM. Otherwise I have no idea why it would sound better.

My 4Gb Pi 4, even when running LMS as well as squeezelite, only used 1.5G of the 4G available. It did not touch swap. My 8Gb Pi does the same.

I have no idea why your 4GB Pi used swap and mine did not. How big is your music library? Mine is about 10,000 tracks.

Later: it looks like there have been hardware changes. My 4Gb Pi4 is pcb version, 1.1, but the 8Gb is 1.4. Revision codes c03111 and d03114 - see here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/document...odes/README.md - looks like there have been two versions at least of the 1, 2, and 4Gb Pi4s.

(revision codes obtained from pcp main page -> diagnostics -> Raspberry Pi)

But still no detail on what actually changed....
