If enough people want 64 bit Pi I can abandon Raspbian and move on to Ubuntu Pi.. Which is 64 bits...  Can only support one platform though as hardware resources are still limited.

Thanks for the reply. At this time the raspbian 32bit is still the best choice with the limited resources available. I have two pi 3b with snakeoil os, and have a new pi on the way. I will just experiment  with the new pi 4 and Ubuntu 22.04 and the realtime kernel, allo dacs and mpd. It maybe a realtime kernel doesn't make a sonic difference for my ears.  Whatever the future brings I will continue with snakeoil os powering my audio hardware.

thanks for all your hard work,

John

OK i found a solurtion, at least for me, after all my attempts at obtaining a realtime/low latency kernel on the web I found someone who has made an image of bullseye with a  preempt_rt kernel (https://github.com/guysoft/RealtimePi). I have made two images for my two pies and snakeoil installs fine and it works well. The builder also explains how to create your own image, if you are uncomfortable with using his . Thls appears to be a simple way to accomplish using a realtime/preempt kernel  with snakeoil 32bit. I must say I do hear a difference between stock and his kernel. On my system it produces deeper and clearer bass, better clarity and depth on mid and top. You might not hear what I hear, but I think you will notice some positive changes.

I was going to ask where to install cycletest so the link on the system section would run the program?

Thanks.
