Pi5 or Pi4? 1gb or 2gb? USB or Hat? - foxwelljsly - 02-23-2025
I use Moode to listen to a NAS library of about 80,000 tracks/6,000 albums, stream internet radio and as a spotify connect and bluetooth endpoint.
My old (3b) Moode Pi has died and I need to buy a new one.
Few Q's:
Should I buy a 5 or 4?
How much memory do I need? 1Gb? 2gb? More?
Should I buy a Digi Hat and high case, or will it perform just as well over USB?
thanks

Get a 5 with the official cooler and PSU. moOde uses hardly any RAM so get the model with the lowest RAM.
If you have a USB DAC try USB before getting a S/PDIF HAT unless you just want to experiment :-)
