Hi
@johan,
Does Allo have any plans switching to Pi 4 for Katana in the future?
I think Pi 3+ was not a good network streaming platform from the beginning, with its crippled networking & USB ports implementation. Pi 4 fixes all this and also adds extra memory options and performance improvements. This should make it a great combination, Katana on Pi 4.
I've had USBridge since last year and it's a fantastic tiny network streamer, thanks to the Sparky SBC it is based upon. Sparky has dedicated bus for USB 3.0 and Ethernet and this allows me to play FLACs from SSD connected to its USB 3.0 port and from the network shares on my PC and also stream from Spotify all at the same time, with ease. Arguably, it is as close to perfection as a $130 piece of consumer electronics can be (and then some) but Sparky SBC is not the most popular platform, hence not a future proof solution. In fact, Allo site has been listing Sparky / USBridge out of stock for quite some time now...
