Time to switch to Raspberry Pi?

Raspberry Pi Model 2 looks cool for its price. Better than a single core BeagleBone Black I'm using.
It has 4 USB ports so I can try to connect my USB audio along with WiFi dongle.
Why not to upgrade?

There are lots of distributions out there but I need a stable one with at least two features:
1. MPD that can play via USB Streamer (requires working USB Class 2 Audio mode)
2. Working I2C bus library

So I bought my new toy and started to slowly work on that...

So far I have MPD playing through HDMI, that's a good beginning
