I recently discovered moOde audio. What an amazing streamer! Kudos!
After looking into it a bit I see that it has the potential of being a great room correction DSP, not just for audio from the various moOde renderers, but for one's entire stereo audio system. With integration of CamillaDSP it looks like all the pieces are almost in place to make this happen.
REW + Rephase with a measurement mic such as the UMIK-1 can be used to generate a room correction filter that can then be loaded into CamillaDSP. The output of CamillaDSP could be sent to the DAC. The input to CamillaDSP could be any of moOde's renderers or a input from a USB Audio Interface. The USB Audio Interface could be used to capture a stereo audio channel from other audio components (turntable preamp, CD player, etc.).
Perhaps it can already do this, but I haven't figured out how to make it work. I connected a Scarlett 2i2 and it worked fine as a DAC, but it wouldn't show up as an Input Source. Most USB Audio Interfaces are class compliant USB audio devices so Linux can use them fine. I've read that some (MOTU M4, et.al.) require Linux kernel 5.11 or newer to work properly, so since moOde uses 5.4, this is a problem. Also, I don't know if all the moOde renderers (Spotify Connect, etc.) can be passed through CamillaDSP???
It seems that moOde is only perhaps a few small steps away from being a game-changing system DSP (like miniDSP, etc.) in addition to being a great streamer.
