I'm Chris.
the 1gb version is also Quad-core to boot so better all round!
this very latest model is referred to as the "Raspberry Pi 2 Model B" - spec here:-

the 512mb predecessor is referred to as "Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+"
Hope that helps.

I have this one and so far it works flawlessly with Volumio and RuneAudio.
I have to say that the fantastic simplicity of the setup process and the neatness of having the streamer and DAC in one handy small package is very seducing.
Don't be fooled by the apparent technical complexity. It is a really easy thing to setup.
Thanks again to Marco for such an enlightening discovery.

You're very welcome, Francois, but don't thank me, as I didn't discover the Pi. Folks elsewhere and on other forums were using it long before I was.
I was just fortunate that two mates introduced me to it, and so got to hear it in my own system, where it blew me away, and as such became a no-brainer purchase! After hearing it, I then had to tell others on AoS how good it was, as indeed I always do when discovering a product that fits so well with the AoS 'SPPV ethos'...
In those circumstances, I'll always 'spread the good news', as it were, amongst the membership. Enjoy!
Marco.

I know it's early days but any observations on the sound this combination is making?I have this one and so far it works flawlessly with Volumio and RuneAudio.

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!”

The one thing i have really noticed so far is a greater separation between instruments than the rDac. So still very positive about the Pi still.
