Hi there,
First of all : thanks to admin to allow me in the forum.
Here is who I am : I live in France. And for a living I do teach law at University. No, I am not that young anymore : I'm 52 years old :-(
I love music and music reproduction. I have built a nice Hi-Fi system (Oppo BDP-105 source + pre-amp + 2 X Linn AV 5125 power amps + Linn Keltik as front speakers + Linn Center speaker + Linn Kaber as rear speakers + Linn Komponent 140 bass) over the years.
With COVID lockdowns, we had to work from home and so my wife was in the living room steadily. So I began to listen to music with headphones. After a long search I've found the 3/4 headphones that are best suited for me : Oppo PM-1, Sony MDR-Z7, Dan Clark Aeon Closed and Aeon Open. They run from an AUNE X8 DAC and Aune X7s headphone amplifier.
The problem was to feed those babies. I wanted to have something that I could remotely control. So I digged a little around and it seemed that one of the best solutions was to use the Raspberry pi4. Now remained to drive it : tested the 3 OS that could be used. I must say that moOde Audio was not the first choice. But had some problems with rAudio (no lyrics ; not nicely driven by Symfonium Android app...) so I went looking for something else and moOde was the natural choice.
So far, I am using it with no problems. Would just like to be able to display lyrics (retrieved from Internet or from metadata) but it seems that is not trivial. That is the feature I am missing from the predecessor. But Symfonium can compensate and thus I will probably keep moOde :-)
I hope to find answers here and be able to answer some to help :-)
As a last word : "TIM : keep up the good work !".
Regards.
