Good announcement....but, alas the general public will have to wait for a long long time to even get the product. Industry/corporations will goggle this up leaving people like us with a wishlist.
The first units to ship by the end of October as per the news from Raspberry

I recently purchased rpi5 from silver electronics. But unfortunately the power supply is out of stock. Looking for some DIY.

I guess apart from Pi 5 4GB RAM, none of the other accessories are available right now. They are expected to hit Indian shores by Nov 2023.
Based on my limited experience, can be used for wide variety of use cases like streaming + DAC, Media Server (Kodi on librelec) etc.
Would anyone be aware if Allo is still selling their products - Most of their products are still shown as out of stock on websites like fabto.lab.

RPi 4b I have can be powered by a type C. Most laptops now has type C charging. so I see no reason why this shouldn’t have that option

For the use case of a streamer does it make sense to get the Pi5 instead of Pi4 or even Pi3B+ ? The Pi3B+ and Pi4 are cheaper, has lesser power and cooling requirements and availability is also better. Am I missing anything obvious ?Raspberry Pi Documentation - Raspberry Pi 5

What are the gains or benefits of Pi5 over Pi4 ?
upgrade from Pi3b to Pi4 was huge, specially USB part.
In a few months we will know the reality.

Totally agree. Having ethernet and usb sharing the bus lead to issues in some use cases. But we are talking about the use case as a streamer.
Please see this post where an analysis is done on the impact on audio quality of pi3b+ against better implementations. No significant differences between the pi3b+ and others

Yes we can use it type c or rpi 4 charger but if your are accessing hdd then you need more power. Hence waiting for rpi 5 charger.

5V/5A DC power via USB-C
Thanks @bobbyprajan for sharing the " Post "
If my understanding is correct regarding the POST, is it not that Pi -5 used as a streamer will be performing well on par with other Streamers ?
Will be nice if anyone can deny my point on Pi - 5 with valid reasons, which could obviously result in sharing of knowledge and understanding of the same

A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
