Upcoming moOde 7.1.0 release

My usage would be that files from the NAS are preconvolved, in my experience (withhigh quality playback system) this sounds better then onlineconvolving (tested with JRiver and Acourateconvolver).
So I want to use my preconvolved files and for finding new music or my daughter spotify and airplay with online convolving.

(My setup ist high quality full active, the RPI is pimped with 2 external ultra low jitter clocks for network and system, a lot of linear regulators and I go via isolator, reclocker and 4 additional reclockers via I2S into an AKM4497 DAC. Amps are hypex ncore for the active speakers.)

Maybe if there is more demand for something like this we can investigate.

[v_erich]

Ok, thanks.
Maybe I can realize a dual boot from SD card or USB to have 2 images on the same DAC.

Hi,
another question to the CamillaDSP feature:

Will it be before or after the SOX resampler?
If its before will it work on the fly with different sampling rates?

Sox is part of MPD an MPD will use Camilladsp as output, so the answer is after. Camilladsp has its own resampler onboard.

Hmm, will the resampler in CamillaDSP work after convolving?
If I resample before I have to convolve the higher samplingrate unnecessary.

Here's a nice enhancement for CamillaDSP feature from @bitlab that enables a simple 2 channel convolution filter to be setup :-)

Alright, looks very interesting. I have a measurement microphone, but what can I do with it and CamillaDSP? Room correction? Speaker correction? More? And how do I do it? Is there a post or external blogpost on how to go about this in practical terms?

I had a listen to a system with a Trinnov processor, and the difference between pass-through and corrected was incredible. If I could have just a part of that I would be amazed.

Hi Tim

If all audio sources are able to output to CamillaDSP and all audio sources are able to output to the equalizers then would it now be straightforward to add a configuration option to Moode that adds a couple of of ALSA plugins into the ALSA configuration before reaching these processors, and that do nothing but pass on the audio, but that can be intercepted for user processing, like making a duplicate copy of the audio. This is the playerout/deviceout (devicein?) setup I mentioned here

   http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.p...2#pid16272

(I don't know how this works out if the audio isn't PCM)

The idea is that all Moode would do is insert the ALSA plugins into the ALSA configuration, and it could be an option that was set on the command line initially, allowing an opportunity for testing by people running mpd_oled.

Adrian.

My knowledge of ALSA coding is limited but I don't think that will work based on the way moOde currently handles devices but I'll start a new thread to discuss how to architect a universal ALSA intercept mechanism so that PCM stream from any source can be duplicated and made available.
