While the Pi4 can burn lots of power, streaming audio isn't going to need high performance. I am running a Pi4 with IQAudio digiAMP+ hat stacked on the back of the official display. Cooling is just the stick on heatsink that the pihut sell. Reported Pi temperature is 50 - 55 degrees C while driving local speakers and a separate bluetooth speaker simultaneously. I can live with that ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IanH99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111846 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
