Interesting... . Have you tried the Pi5, which is much cheaper?

My Pi5 with Ubuntu 22.04 and SO1.3 beat the Antipodes S30, to my ears.   But, my friend still preferred the S30 because it was closer to what he was used to.

I don't have a Pi5,but tried Pi3 and Pi4 some years ago. Found x86 always much better.
