Tidal Master on MoOde Audio

[makkusu]

hi, just my 2 cents
actually moOde does not alter what it receives thru upnp, it does “pass through” MQA decoding already. i.e. if you have an MQA full decoder (you need a full decoder, MQA renderer will not work unless you are able to stream the output of a MQA core decoder), you would be able to stream and play MQA file/stream using moOde.

I have tried both MQA file and Tidal Masters, in both cases my DAC is able to recognize the input thru USB is an MQA-encoded stream

moOde version: 7.1.0
hardware: Raspberry Pi 4B w/ 4GB RAM
DAC: ifi Neo DSD

The following setups have been tested and MQA is working fine:
1. Tidal in mconnect Player Lite on iPad Pro --upnp--> moOde --USB--> DAC
2. MQA file served by minidlna on Linux --upnp--> moOde --USB--> DAC
3. Tidal in BubbleUPnP on Android --upnp--> moOde --USB--> DAC (some tracks won't work, no idea why)
4. Tidal in mconnect Player Lite on Android --upnp--> moOde --USB--> DAC

Hope this helps
