New RaspberryPi 3 - what do you think?

(1/6) > >>

PrinterPrinter:
Hello People,
I'm sure you've seen the news on the new Pi (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/raspberry-pi-3-has-wi-fi-and-bluetooth-64-bit-chip-still-just-35/)

I wonder how it'll impact the Hifi use and JRiver?
They say the current 32 bit software - will work on the new Pi.

I welcome the addition of on board Wifi and Bluetooth but wonder if it'll generate noise for audio applications? I Imagine it'll be possible to turn them off if needed?
Will the new processing power help MC? Perhaps allow running convolution on the Pi?

Lastly, I'm using the HiFiberry Digi+ board now to get coax and optical out - I'd love a version with proper BNC connection.

I'm ordering one to replace my pi2 in my brick. Should be a drop-in replacement. :)

So you believe there's no need to reinstall the OS, just swap the memory card from Pi2 to Pi3?

Thanks!

the pi2 has the horsepower for fairly beefy filters today, e.g. it's used to power http://www.audiovero.de/en/preamp-14-cleanvolver.php

Looking forward to trying it out.
I wonder when it will hit the retail stores.
