1. When using Moode as a player in a renderer (Plexamp/Squeezecentre), is it MPD that is actually processing and passing the music along to any installed DAC?
Renderers are separate playback applications. MPD is not involved when a renderer is running.
2. Do I need to restart the MPD service when I make changes such as volume normalisations to the renderer or are these changes automatically applied?
MPD is not involved in any way when a renderer is running.
3. When using the Plexamp renderer volume is much louder playing tracks compared to the Squeeze renderer. I have to compensate by turning volume down by 2/3 when listening using squeeze. Anyone know why?
The output volume and volume curve is controlled entirely by the renderer application. In the case of Plexamp and Bluetooth which appear to have very hot volume curves there is the "ALSA maxvol" option in Renderer Config which can be used to compensate.
