Is the Prop Shield compatible with Teensy 4.0?

I have a prop shield and both Teensy 3.2 and Teensy 4.0, but I have more of the latter, it's faster, etc. I haven't found any mention of the 4.0 used in association with the prop shield (I'm using the IMU sensors, primarily), so thought I'd inquire.
 
As defragster mentions, the Teensy 4.x does not have a DAC for doing simple audio. If you don't want to use SPI (including accessing the flash memory in the prop shield), you could use the MQSL (pin 12) or MQSR (pin 10) pins to provide audio output.

If the primary reason you are using the prop shield is for the flash memory, note that the Teensy 4.1 has solder pads underneath the Teensy where you could attach a PSRAM and a flash ram chip directly to the Teensy 4.1.

Sorry for the delay in answering this but if you want to just use flash and the IMUs the propshield is 100% compatible with the T4 and T4.1. Using a T4.1 (thats what I had handy) I ran motion cal with out and issue and the ran the MahonyAHRS example:
Code:
Orientation: 214.86 23.41 101.84
Orientation: 215.54 24.09 101.47
Orientation: 216.09 24.82 101.02
Orientation: 216.51 25.65 100.47
Orientation: 216.81 26.57 99.82
Orientation: 217.04 27.54 99.12
Orientation: 217.22 28.47 98.42
and yes the the angles changed when I moved the board.

THen I ran littleFS SPI Integrity example for SPI using CS pin 6:
Code:
Start Big write of 2048000 Bytes.........................
Big write /0_2MBfile.txt took  5.72 Sec for 2048000 Bytes : file3.size()=2048000
	Big write KBytes per second 358.31 

Bytes Used: 2060288, Bytes Total:8388608
and was able to write the file shown and double check by printing the directory
Code:
printDirectory SPI_DISK
--------------
FILE	0_2MBfile.txt		2048000

 0 dirs with 1 files of Size 2048000 Bytes
 Total 1 files of Size 2048000 Bytes
Bytes Used: 2060288, Bytes Total:8388608
as other said for audio there is no DAC
