Well I have previously had the Halide Bridge connected to my Intel NUC which had Ubuntu (Linux) OS installed on it, and the Halide Bridge was recognised and worked without issue from Ubuntu, so this confirms that the RPi4 and Moode should both work ok for me then....have I got this right?
Would you mind confirming what you mean by "dont under power the RPi4" - do you mean just to get a 4gb ram model? Or is it to do with what power supply I get with it? Any specific recommendation is welcome if there is a particular version, etc.
Cheers!!
Any of the three flavours of RPi4 will work fine as there's no 'heavy lifting' to handle (DSD files) judging by your current file playback pattern but if you want to be safe for future DAC upgrade you may want the higher spec RPI4s (2 or 4 GB RAM) with proper cooling solutions.
As a side idea... considering that you've already got the INTEL NUC you may also try to use another another headless music server based on LINUX designed for x86 computers (like your NUC) DAPHILE There is also a Daphile forum: DIY Audio DAPHILE forum )
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you'll have a superior streamer with either solution but it's good to have a choice. For clarity my daily streamer it's based on RPI + MoOde...
