[SOLVED] HiFiBerry DAC2 HD

[TheOldPresbyope]

Just for my curiosity:
There are a bunch of DACs and Amps from Hifiberry (13 when i count them right) currently supported by Moode.

How was the implementation for the existing Hifiberry devices done in the past?
When you usually need the device and a technical support contact to deal with, this should have been done somehow in the past i assume.

The Hifiberry DAC2 HD is an interesting HAT, however currently out of stock after the first branch obviously has been sold.

If you examine the contents of the cfg_audiodev table in moOde's database (/var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db) you'll see that many vendor's DACs (including a number of HiiBerry ones) use one or another of just a few basic drivers. 

Those are simple DACs with no fancy-schmantzy onboard options. Trivial to implement support for a new one in moOde. Basically just add the database line so the user can pick from the list. It's the fancy-schmantzy ones with their own drivers which need serious support from the vendor to figure out the control functions and how to implement them in moOde.
