A 4 should be able to do what a 3 can do
Why? What if a particular piece of software written for 3 has not been ported to 4? I recently bought a 3 just to be able to run my favourite audio player...
I think there is upward compatibility. As an example, I took an SD card with the O/S and camilladsp from a 3 to a 4 with no changes, not even an O/S change and it worked, actually worked better. My MOTU mk5 started behaving with camilla when I used the 4 instead of the 3. The 3 must have had some hardware issue with USB and motu that got resolved with the new usb hardware in the 4.
Really? It seemed to me there is downward compatibility but there isn’t?!
Archphile was half heartedly ported to 4. Perhaps the port works on some 4 boards, but definitely not mine. The stable 3 soft cannot even boot on 4.
Still, the best sounding player for Rpi as far as i am concerned.
A software distribution will usually (just about always) need an update whenever a new piece of Raspberry Pi hardware is released.
This will take from a few hours to a few days to sort out. The software changes going from a RPi3 to RPi4 seemed a little more significant than usual.
