A board with, I believe a faster processor and 64Mb ram.

[Detailed in an earlier post here.](https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/daisy-board-480mhz-cortex-m7-64mb-sdram-8mb-flash-codec/5861)

Uses an STM32, 480MHz ARM Cortex-M7 MCU,  
Their ‘seed’ board looks like a good value, while the various boxes boxes seem high priced. Out of stock until “September 2021” at one time the Japanese Codec factory had a fire

(The ESP 32 processor may be more on par with an ARM M4)

(Their associating the term DSP with an ESP-32 is a bit of misleading with all the actual Hardware AUDIO DSP processors available.)

Pretty sure it’s a typo 😉
