Interesting technical enhancements but I wonder if it's worth to set them as upgrate teasers since all these manipulations offer practically no improvement to sound quality which is already great. Instead I would propose more emphasis to practical issues such as making library search possibilities more flexible.
For instance if someone (perhaps crazy like me) wants to listen to a piece of Classical music (composed by many tracks) within a library of 2000+ albums he finds himself either in a track search mode or in searching albums by artist (not composer). So far, the practical solution I found is to use uPnP renterer and access my tailor made foobar interface and foobar library from my pc. I don't hear any degradation in sound quality with this solution, but even if there is one it should be insignificant.
Another reason pushing me to this foobar-moode combination relates to tags. Many albums, mostly in dfs (but not all of them) and some flacs of high sampling rates, refuse to show up correctly in Moode menus while they are ok with foobar and other players. I also tried to address the issue with tag editors such as mp3tag without any success.
Last but not least for future upgrades I come back with this idea of providing an easy path from sd card to ssd (without the use of the command line) to all those who want to install the whole thing in a speedy and much safer ssd.
Again many thanks for what you have done so far!
