New raspberry pi5 just released! Any plans to support it soon? What are your first thoughts on the new hw?
Based on what I read, this should be able to run Stereo Tool at close-to or maybe even full quality. The clock speed is a third faster than the Pi 4 (2.4 GHz vs 1.8 GHz). According to other benchmarks that I found, the total speed at the same clock speed should be about 35% faster than the A72. So in total it should run at close to 180% of the speed of a Pi 4.
There's a bigger memory cache and memory benchmarks look really good, which hopefully means that we can run the full processing at 4096 instead of 2048 block size without losing a lot of performance. (That might be part of the increased speed in the benchmarks).
Assuming that the HifiBerry still works on this new hardware, we will add support for this as soon as possible - for now it has only been announced, we probably need a new OS version (until now that has always been the case with new Pi versions), so most likely the existing image won't work.
