Firstly I want to say a huge thank you to Tim for creating this extraordinary software and the support form the mods here.
I've downloaded MoOde 5 with the RC1 and the installation went flawlessly, I use A Pi3 B with a liner PSU made by a nerdy friend that loves making stuff...
I thought 4.4 was an improvement over previous versions in just about everywhere, I couldn't wait for 5 and gleefully downloaded and installed it without a hitch, this time however I was a little disappointed with the sound
MoOde 5 I've found it's closed in and doesn't have the soundstage of 4.4, in 4.4 the stereo width and depth is superb with spacial cues and a realism to the sound. In 5 there seems to be a reduction in sounsdtage both width and the fine detail is a little lacking especially on tracks with delicate reverb.
Now I might be completely bonkers thinking there is a difference between 4.4 and 5 regarding differences in imaging and soundstage but to my ears there is a difference. I swapped out 5 and popped 4.4 back in place and lo! The soundstage was back in all its 3D glory.
Are there any difference with the codecs or a few changes to the new version that could have the effect I'm hearing?
(P.S) the configuration is identical between versions)
Many thanks for all your hard work Tim!
Thanks for any input,
Mark
