It appears then, that the PI 3 B+ has been designed to be very well suited for long-time operations, even in confined spaces, without the need for an external heatsink.This means, more than ever, that a good quality Power Supply is mandatory for stable operations, and if you’re using a sub-optimal PSU with your current Raspberry, you absolutely need to replace it along with it.This to me looks like the real deal. If confirmed (we’re carrying out our tests and will update this article once done) this would be the absolute cherry-on-the-cake of this new Raspberry PI Model B+, and might justify alone the upgrade.We are now testing this new hardware and we will upgrade this article with more definitive conclusions (so what you read above are speculations on what can be understood from PRs and Foundation’s statements).

Ask for something faster like Bloc Party’s Like Eating Glass and the Primo displays wonderful energy. The caveat to this is that you can tailor the Primo to do exactly what you want and it offers a degree of customisation that isn’t always an option on rivals. As always, GHz are just a small part of the whole picture, and those extra 200 MHz are surely welcome, but surely not a gamechanger over the previous generation.The foundation reports a real-life performance improvement ranging from 15% to 30%, but I would not expect to see a substancial difference while using Volumio. I am however pretty confident that the foundation will solve this issue, as it’s not uncommon that hardware performances get dramatic improvements as software gets tuned up after community feedbacks.The good news is that there are actually tangible improvements on USB throughput, as I did not experience a single glitch with a great variety of files: 16\44.1,24\96,32\768 flac, DSD64, DSD128, DSD256 and 8X MQA (this is an extremely meaningful test, since if even a single packet is lost the MQA decoding would stop).So, for now, if you avoid using Ethernet to retrieve your Hi-Res files, the PI 3B+is just perfect to feed your USB DAC with bit-perfect joy.During my tests, also some other meaningful results emerged, I will summarize them for your convenience:The next round of tests will involve playback via I2S DACs, although I  do not expect any difference compared with previous PIs.So, all in all, I think this upgrade is definitely more than welcome, although it will not constitute a major reason to upgrade for existing Raspberry PI 3 owners.The only situations where I am suggesting the upgrade are wireless setups: in this case, yes, upgrading is well worth the cost.As always, getting stuff from our shop, not only gets you awesome bang for the buck Audio equipment, but helps the Volumio project, so thanks for your purchase!Get updates on software updates, product drops and all things Volumio

The Tinkerboard has all of the other connectivity: USB, networks, and digital out. There is the option to handle DSD natively or via DoP (DSD over PCM) and the former sounds very good indeed with Depeche Mode’s Ultra doing a fine job of avoiding any sense of there being hardware present in the process. Unlike the playback software options from our recent Group Test (HFC 448), Volumio is a complete operating system designed to be run on devices such as a Raspberry Pi. It is also dependent on plug-ins to deliver Tidal and Qobuz streaming services, putting it some way behind control software such as BluOS –found in NAD and Bluesound streaming components – or Auralic’s Lightning DS which all have such functionality embedded and ready to go. Just to calify we are using a standardised base for comparing DAC boards in our listening sessions. A potential impacting side-effect is however how this chip (and the whole board layout) dissipates heat, so let’s move to the next point.Heat is not coming out only from CPU’s top, but it’s rather spreaded on the whole PCB, therefore applying an additional heatsink is not necessary anymore (and IMHO it wasn’t necessary with model 3 as well). I have not made an overall conclusion, but with the few tracks I have listened to the Primo holds up very well.
Hi-res material also presents no issue and the Primo really reaps the benefits of well-mastered recordings. Of course, my main interest was to back my hypothesis of better USB Audio performances, so I went straight ahead and connected my Pro-Ject Pre BOX S2 Digital (since it can reach up to 32\768 via USB and play DSD 512 in Native mode).All tests were made with the experimental image that can be found  As usual, I started playing my “Raspberry killer” track: a 32 bit, 678 kHz .wav file from my NAS. AC wireless instead, has an awful lot more of channels, therefore virtually minimizing the chance of bad wireless networking due to congestion.
