Wow, what CD player do you have?
I suppose detuning the processor with lower clock frequency could reduce noise and improve detail. If the processor can still perform the computations of SoX, then why not. I have been using Moode for many years, because it just sounded better than the other options. Moode + RPi sounds better than my Windows 10 desktop and the same USB DAC. Could be due to higher clock frequency and noise, or noise from the SMPS. Many other factors.
BTW: Figured Moode was broken, so did the easy thing and now using 6.6 . No pops.
Quote:This is based on the same posts you mention, and I tried to optimize sequentially for the pi4.
Beginning with the config-file: overall, little improvements in all dimensions (details, scene etc.)
Then the procs: next level of improvement. Much better details and 3d. Very close to the quality of my CD player. With the parameter Nice=15-18, you can adjust the brightness pretty well to your taste.
I prefer SOX medium in my setup, somewhat more musical in the mids and highs.
Last I set 64 bits with moode 6.6: more clarity and details.
Overall I am happy with this setup.
