Hi, thanks for using piCorePlayer. I don't think you will be able to hear any difference between the versions. Some versions were made in order to improve the USB DAC handling, but you are not using USB. The later versions have more features like cron jobs and the auto-start LMS. The later has been requested as it will allow piCorePlayer to automatically start playing a specified radio station when powered up. Steen piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
