9.0.x sound quality.

[yannig]

Some friends and I found that the 9.0.x versions of moOde gave us an overall more aggressive and tiring sound (to the point that I personally went back to version 8.3.9).

Have others noticed this?

In a way, this seems a bit strange,
until now, new kernels often seemed to me accompanied by better sound quality.

Give us a hint or two, please.

What Pi model(s)?

Which DAC(s)?

Thanks,

Phil

Allo Boss V1.2 hat dac, but with a lot of very audiophile tweaks.

And Raspberry Pi 3B or 4B.

(300B amplifiers, Onpenbafle Altec 420A + ribbon tweeter, or bass reflex EMS LB12EX + OEM Audax tweeter).
