Audiophonics 9028Q2M settings
Hello
My current installation is RPi3, Allo Isolator, Kali and Audiophonics 9028 Q2M.
I listen with a Relaixed2 Passive pre, Sjostrom QRV08 phone amp and Beyer DT880.
Moode 3.8 works fine with Audiophonics 9023 LTE driver; MPD oversampling at 32/*, multithread on.
This seems to work better than 384/32 at least with standard 16/44.1 samples (CD standard).
I don't understand the driver option "bclk_ratio_int_div" that i keep disabled. But Audiophonics 9028Q2M has a microprocessor that should rule out all the driver options.
My two cents. Thank you for the nice work

Hi,
For users that have Audiophonics ES9018, 9018K2M or 9018Q2M DAC's it looks like the driver mapping I'm using for the Advanced kernels may not be the right one.
Currently, rpi-dac is used for the Std kernel and simple-es9023-audio,384k is used for the Adv kernels.
User testing and feedback suggests that the i-sabre-dac-es9023-audio,384k driver should be used for these boards in the Adv kernel. This driver is used for the Audiophonics ES9023 DAC, DAC LTE and DAC TXCO selections.
Additional feedback/testing is welcome
-Tim

Hi everybody,
a few days ago I installed Moode 3.8, before I used 3.1 - and I have to admit that it sounds better now (more micro details, better dynamics, less "hiss"; RPI3 with Audiophonics I-Sabre V3 ES9023 and LPS) - or is it all psychoacoustics?
Further on I would like to use spotify connect. Is there a way to integrate it or do I have to use another software?
Thanks in advance and happy listening - HN

Tim, as you've completed 3.8, if you're looking for more to do... 
How about a web-based shell window like https://github.com/nickola/web-console ?
Seeing as there are so many Windows users and windows doesn't support SSH, it could be a useful option.

I have set up new Stations via "create new station", unfortunately they are not played.
Here the page with the stream adresses. Radio im Netz - Digitalradio - Serviceangebot - Unternehmen - WDR
I configured these stations already in the previous version without problems.
The addresses are in this format:
What prevents the stations from being played?

Hi @melmac,
The station is using https:// (SSL) connection and when I try to play it the MPD log has
Aug 08 07:57 : exception: Failed to decode https://wdr-wdr2-bergischesland.icecastssl.wdr.de/wdr/wdr2/bergischesland/mp3/128/stream.mp3
Aug 08 07:57 : exception: nested: CURL failed: server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
however it does play in iTunes which suggests some sort of missing cert in the Raspbian Jessie 2017-07-05 release that moOde 3.8.x is based on.
I'll add to the TODO list to investigate.

Hi, Mike. This is very cool.
I couldn't wait to see your response to Tim and tried on my own. Stuck a configured copy of webconsole.php in /var/local/www/webconsole/ and hacked a new stanza in nginx.conf to create a server listening to port 8080 with webconsole.php as the index.
Attached is a screenshot of the result.
The good news is, dilettante though I am, I got it running. The bad news is, dilettante that I am, I can't seem to execute non-shell commands. Case in point is the attempt to start sqlite3 shown in the attached screenshot. It immediately returns to the command line as do invocations of other programs.
I'm sure someone with better php/nginx/fpm-fu than I possess can quickly get it all running.
One feature in the code I don't like is the storage of user credentials in cleartext in the webconsole.php file. Seems to me there must be a way to pass logins on to the underlying Debian authentication scheme. That's something I want to pass back to the author.
Regards,
Kent
PS - I'm still chuckling at LMGTFY. Can't believe it's been almost a decade and yet your recent message is the first use of it I've seen.

So I said
Then again, maybe I got it right the first time. I just read through the FAQs and found a response to a user asking about non-shell commands in Web Console:
I'm not sure I fully understand the author's description of the problem, but the solution he offers is not good news. Expect is a great tool (full disclosure: I used to work in the same institute as its author, Don Libes) but one would have to put in a fair bit of work to develop the Expect scripts needed to glue web-console to sqlite3, say, not to mention that Expect is a tcl/tk program.

I listen to moOde 3.8.1 and find it better than 3.7&3.8
More weight on all kind of sounds, from bass to treble.
3.8 sounds to "tense" for me, a little dull, but very neutral.
3.7 sounds richer, but less linear. Something in mids or low-mids seems missing, or something between upper-mid and treble is too much.
3.8.1 seems to have all the qualities.
all these differences are strange to me...
