Now how about the sound quality? Has anyone tried this on 2W?
My major concern is there is only 512M RAM in 2W and I wonder how this will affect the MoOde software.
The 2W is bit noisier than the Zero W. I don't think you could tell without a back to back comparison. The Zero W is my regular RPi, and the 2W has quite a bit snappier response. Memory used is 44% with default MPD buffer settings (4MB audio and 128MB output buffer).
