I'm totally on board with this! I have a Pi 3 and it's been great!

I had a heck of a time trying to use the Rpi3 for anything heavy, such as a personal computer, video streaming, android tablet alternative, or hi-fi audio server. It just wasn't powerful enough.
My main issue was trying to use it to stream DSD audio. It would freeze up even with extravagant cooling on the CPU. ram didn't seem to be the issue, it was the CPU that couldn't handle the load.
And android software wouldn't allow for video playback at all.
Any opinion if the Rpi4 will be able to handle this stuff?
