Hello people,
Thanks for Moode, it's awesome!
I noticed a very significant SQ issue when playing Apple Music lossless via AirPlay and Moode compared to playing the same files in Flack from a local/networked drive.
It's very obviously sounds like compression(?) A little like the difference between MP3 to FLAC. Strangely playing the same files from my phone (iPhone 14) with BT headphones (Sony WH-1000XM5) connected doesn't sound obviously bad.
I don't even talk about 'high res files' just comparing 2 44.1 versions of the same song, one streamed over AP and the other local FLAC on a networked server.
In theory there shouldn't be a different as lossless is lossless right?
I checked that I have no EQ or even volume normalisation enabled on the phones Apple music settings and I'm playing everything on max quality (save Lossless files on my phone for offline play. Also in MA I am not using any gain or EQ settings.
I noticed there are some 'wrapper' settings in MA for AP, perhaps it's one of those?

My set up is an RPI4 running MA - with an Allo Digione Signature , connected with an ethernet cable to my router. Then to my DAC, Schiit Yggy 2, , Shciit Freya+, ATI 6002 power amp powering a pair of Pure Audio Project Trio 15 (horn 1) speakers. It's a very good and transparent system and this drives me mad
Please share your thoughts and ideas, thank you!
