Give that man a medal? You've got to be kidding, right? A screenshot
showing squeezelite chewing up 80% CPU and he wants a medal? He's
completely lost it! Or maybe he's been at the whiskey again..... 

What that screenshot shows is squeezelite running on the single core
BeagleBoneBlack, upsampling all day long to 384k, and squirting data out
of the USB port, completely glitch free! No smoke and mirrors. No
trickery. No overclocking the CPU. No RT patch set. (Standard "upstream"
Fedora voluntary PREEMPT.) Just a minor USB driver optimisation, (which
isn't really an optimisation considering one has to do without DMA
transfers on the BBB to have working USB at all), and that soxr patch to
enable SIMD. Sure the 80% looks bad, but there is still enough resource
left for the USB port overhead and ethernet.

Bottom line, for £35 quid, it's a miracle and something you'll never get
close to with the Pi.

NB. Precision == 'h' == 20 bit == 120db dynamic range, which you're
rather unlikely to have anything that exceeds that in your music
collection. ;)
