I'll make no comments on the sound quality, it being provably identical between the two products and entirely dependent on the quality of your DAC not the streamer source.
One thing I do like about the odroid is the chance to buy emmc storage for it, this will solve the remaining RPI major weakness: sdcard.. but it's nearly three times the price of the pi so you get what you pay for I guess. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.
