Best setup recommendation UPNP - Klavius - 09-13-2020 Dear audio enthusiasts Please your advice on how to setup moode to get the most out of it. My setup is Allo Digione on top of RPi3 Ares II Dac using coaxial input I'm streaming Tidal using UPNPbubble and mconnect. The last one supports sending 24 bit 48khz. Is moode doing something to the stream before sending it to the DAC? The audio info shows that bitrate Is different when using 24 bit 48khz tracks. When using 16bit 44.1 it simply do es not show the decoding rate. Is there something messing with stream and degrading audio quality? What can I do to setup moode and get the best?

BubbleUPnP on the other hand has been totally reliable for me. About getting the best out of your DAC, you might actually be better off with USB to the Aries II instead of using the Digione for SPDIF. Not only is SPDIF more prone to jitter but the Aries supports formats upto 24/1536KHz PCM and DSD1024 which is only possible with USB, SPDIF maxes out at 24/192 PCM and DSD64 DoP. Hope that helps |
