Hello everyone! I need help

[Nutul]

Hello! Thanks for your reply.

I've tested a ton of things—different tubes, NOS, various DACs, and even SD cards, which sound different in my system.

I had another amplifier before, and the sound was massive, huge. Back then, I was using Moode 7.

Then my amplifier broke, I replaced it, and my SD card failed as well. Now I have a different type of tubes… I’m waiting for the same ones I had before, but the scale of the sound is gone. There's accuracy, but that super depth and height are missing.

While I’m waiting for the tubes to be delivered, I wanted to compare Moode releases because versions 8 and 9 sound very different. I still don’t fully understand how to reduce the excessive high-frequency component in Moode 9. Some say you need to increase the memory allocation for Moode on the Raspberry Pi, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Of course, I’d love to achieve the perfect sound.

I’m using SoX with the "Very High" setting. I also have a Pi2AES HAT.

I am sorry I fail to understand you...
moOde is a player, it has no effect on the sound, unless you apply some DSP (through CamillaDSP I mean, so there is no difference at all between v7, or 8, or 9...
The sound is in your (still missing...?) tubes; not moOde itself. Try the 9. Such an old version as the 7 would need you to manually build it, on an older (unsupported...?) OS...

just my 2c
