Classical collections are not well supported in moOde because there is no standard way to organize them. Some users like their collection organized by Composer while others want their collections organized by Artist or Composition, and there is no standard tag for Composition. You will probably need to continue using FB or some other Desktop player that offers better support for Classical collections. You could also try moOde Folder View and the Advanced Search feature.
There is a bug in moOde 6.3.0 WiFi password parsing that causes failure if the password contains $, !, ` (back quote). If you have any of these characters in your password you will have to wait for the fix which is included in upcoming 6.4.0 update. Btw, the URL for moOde is http://moode or http://mode.local or http://IP_ADDRESS_OF PI
The Audio glitches that occur with Chord and certain other DACs are apparently due to changes (improvements) in how USB audio is handled in the Linux 4.19.y kernels. moOde 6 Series is based on these kernels and will continue with them going forward. I don't know with certainty that the Linux kernel developers will be able address the glitch issues with these DAC's in the 4.19.y branch. The earlier moOde 5 series was based on the Linux 4.14.y kernels which apparently don't exhibit the audio glitches.

I did suspect that it was because of the nature of my music that I would not be able to fully appreciate the moOde interface. Over the years that I have used Foobar, I have developed a peculiar system of arranging folders by composer that seems to work for me so I'll probably stick with it.
My WiFi password doesn't contain any characters that aren't regular numbers or letters. I can always access the moOde player using its IP address when the ethernet cable is plugged in so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong there - it just won't connect when I unplug the cable from the router and try to use just the Comfast dongle.
With regard to the glitches then, the solution would appear to involve trying an earlier version of moOde as it doesn't look like the kernel is going to get fixed anytime soon? Or I could get the digione board and use BNC connection instead?
