If you can obtain (or compile) Moode 3.8.4 you could configure Kali/Piano 2.1 in dual mono mode, which some think gives the best sound.
I would gladly do that but I understood that 3.8.4 is not available anymore.
I don‘t exactly want to discuss my perceivings (what sense would that make?), but rather know about the patches for the rt-kernel, soundcheck, or are they closed source?

This should also work on 4.0.x !?!?
4.0.x - the stock kernel - just lacks 352.8kHz support for this DAC.
I'm running the Kali/Piano2.1 combo somewhat similar.
Beside running the Piano2.1 in Dual-Mono mode, I'd recommend to try some more settings :
1. Enable master clock mode for the Piano2.1 if Kali is used.
This way Piano2.1 makes use of the HQ Kali master clock as reference.
2. Beside that feeding 384kHz upsampled data gets the DACs internal filters
bypassed
3. The use of ON-DAC volume control might be beneficial. The use of two
chained VCs (app and DAC) might impact your sound experience.
Make sure only one is active!
If I'm not mistaken Moode allows to let you make all these adjustments.
Enjoy.

He probably would know how to solve the situation.
I better shut up now.
i will see into it...
Ok resolved the music files not showing up as my Synology NAS the permissions on NFS file sharing were not setup correctly for the moOde IP
.Maybe start here with koda59's post:
I know Tim is scrambling with getting 4.0 ready for release but once that's finished maybe he can comment on the different patches used in the 3.8.4 advanced kernels.
It's a Denon DA500, but that should not matter. I just want all zero bitstream sent through the SPDIF when no music is playing.
It did that with my USB to SPDIF audio device, the Peachtree X1, but it could have been the programming of that box.
Now I am using the HIberry Digi+ Pro hat and as soon as the song ends, so does any bitstream.
Will it be an automatic builder or a manual recipe?
Hi,
The GA release of moOde 4 which hopefully will be done this month after a few more bugs are squashed will require building it afresh using either the manual Build Recipe or the Image Builder. There is no update from the Betas to GA.

As a break from build related posts..
I have noticed that there is a now an AAC 320K stream for Radio Paradise, you can add this to Moode and see which you prefer the sound of AAC or MP3 ( sorry @soundcheck) not sure there is much in it but I think the bass is 'maybe' better on AAC.
The more interesting news is that for those that had not realised the phone app supports flac so perhaps you can airplay/blue tooth that. Also the Flac will come to the web app and streams in February (
Hi,
Can you post or email me the url to the 320k stream?
Thanks,

After scanning and updating my entire music folder from the NAS the moOde now hangs a lot in terms of not playback but when I click and want to configure the settings. The browser keeps refreshing and nothing happens on the screen and I can play the music during this process but the page shows "waiting <ip address>....". Unable to get into the settings at all.
I was kind of afraid of this.
The board is nothing but a WM chip that takes the I2S and spits out S/PDIF. There is no host controller.
Just wondering if this could be done within MPD?
Now after I restart I am getting an error "502 Bad Gateway
nginx/1.10.3" on the browser. What could be the issue has the OS corrupted as I am unable to SSH the Pi, looks like the Beta version is not stable and I need to wait till the month end for the official full release candidate.
As you can see there are 2 streams, one for Europe, one for the US. But is does sound good:As a break from build related posts..

- Radio Paradise - eclectic commercial free Internet radio
Looks like network issue ... do you use ethernet or WiFi ?
Could you try just ethernet to see if it’s better ?
