Another vote for pi and PiCorePlayer setup. :)
My pi4 uses about 3.0w of power (measured using Emporia Smart Plug) while doing stuff (1.55w while idle). It's actually overkill for LMS. For that I use my pi3+, with a directly attached 256GB ssd (and a 16g microSD). CPU is basically idle when streaming flac directly to my multiple squeezeboxes. When transcoding hi-res to CD 16/44.1 wav (for my original squeezebox sb1), cpu is just around 30%. Best of all, it's completely silent, and rock solid. I leave it on 24x7 because its energy usage is like noise compare to the rest of the house. my windows i7 on the other hand uses about 160w at idle. 200+w when I am doing stuff. Despite buying "quiet" components, it's not silent. I was running LMS on my windows box couple of years ago. I swear when I switched to PCP, LMS GUI response felt snappier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wildgoose's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23501 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114361 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
