Moode vs external DAC

[TheOldPresbyope]

Looks like it's a USB-DAC. That part's easy. Plug it in and click through moOde's configuration menu to get through to the MPD Config panel. Change the Audio device setting to "USB audio device" and click "Apply".

You'll have to study your DAC documentation to see what other settings you may want to change.

Grazie so much Kent, it will take a week wait to get the Pi and then will have to find out how to retrieve music off the NAS or, to begin with, an USB dongle to start with.

??

What's your NAS and what protocol are you using (SMB or NFS)? 

For many users, the connection to their NAS "just works." For some, though, it has taken multiple rounds of Q/A to get a working connection (and one has still not got there?!?).

Try exploring some of the curated Radio stations while you're figuring this out.
