Intention
- While reading in the Pianoteq User Forum I have seen some interrest in running Pianoteq on Raspberry PI.
- For my opinion the Raspberry Pi is a nice application processor module, but it is really not good suited for audio applications. You have to add an expensive extension board for getting good audio performance.
- Some other application processor modules are not so well knows as the Raspberry PI, but have better CPU performance and much better audio peripherals integrated on the used silicon or on the PCB. Therefore it is not needed to add so much additional components to get a usable audio device.
- The Odroid-N2 seems to have a much better CPU performance (6x ARM 64bit Cores running up to 1.8 GHz) in comparison to the Raspberry Pi 4 and due to the integration with a well designed heatsink it will never come into a situation where thermal throttling will slow down the calculation performance.
- In addition to that it is equiped with a high performance audio DAC.
- So - why not using an Odroid-N2 to design an High-Performance-Piano-Expander with as few as possible external components?
