Thank you!!!
Happy to have switch on your curiosity, I'm also an headphones listener and I often use crossfeed. I have suggested you Bauer crossfeed only because I have read that is present on xbmc and I thought it was easier to add in Moode, but every thing you are doing for me is absolutely OK!
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Happy Badger.
Unfortunately I think it's locked to their hardware. Fair enough given the amount it's meant to have cost to develop. But if you discover a way do share!
FWIW I tested a bunch of iOS remotes and found Lumin to be a good fit.

Re: Crossfeed playback for more realistic headphone audio

Hello,
I found a solution with LADSPA and bs2b for ALSA.
I did it on a moode Image because it is based on raspian (hope it is no problem to post my solution here).
That is what I did:
CODE: SELECT ALL
apt-get install bs2b-ladspa
This is what I add to /etc/mpd.conf
CODE: SELECT ALL
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "ALSA default"
device "hw:0,0"
dsd_usb "yes"
}
#
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "ALSA crossfeed"
device "crossfeed"
dsd_usb "yes"
}
And this is the /etc/asound.conf
CODE: SELECT ALL
pcm.!default "crossfeed"
ctl.!default "crossfeed"
pcm.soundcard { type hw; card 0; device 0; }
pcm.plugSoundcard { type plug; slave.pcm "soundcard"; }
pcm.bs2b {
type ladspa
slave.pcm "plugSoundcard"
path "/usr/lib/ladspa" #path under arch linux will be an other ?
playback_plugins [ {
label bs2b
input {
controls [650 9.5]
}
} ]
}
pcm.crossfeed { type plug; slave.pcm "bs2b"; }
ctl.crossfeed { type hw; card 0; }
parameters in "controls [x x]" can be changed.
Here are some configurations of HZ and dB for Crossfeed:
source: Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP
These results shows a three versions with different sets of cut-off frequency and crossfeed level:
1) 700 Hz, 4.5 dB - default.
This setting is closest to the virtual speaker placement with azimuth 30 degrees and the removal of about 3 meters, while listening by headphones.
2) 700 Hz, 6 dB - most popular.
This setting is close to the parameters of a Chu Moy's [3] crossfeeder.
3) 650 Hz, 9.5 dB - making the smallest changes in the original signal only for relaxing listening by headphones.
This setting is close to the parameters of a crossfeeder implemented in Jan Meier's [4] CORDA amplifiers.
Change of output is possible with:
mpc disable 1
mpc enable 2
output of "aplay -L"
CODE: SELECT ALL
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
plugSoundcard
bs2b
crossfeed
sysdefault:CARD=sndrpihifiberry
snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac,
Default Audio Device
dmix:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0
snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac,

dsnoop:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0

snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac,
Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=sndrpihifiberry,DEV=0

Hardware device with all software conversions
Interesting is "top":
crossfeed disabled 12%
crossfeed enabled 19%

Hello Tim,
Actually mpdroid gets cover arts through a webserver.
After sshing I realized webserver root folder is mpdmusic/ so I used it instead of /.
I am suprised though that all of my cover arts were ok except the ones with " h" using /.
So mpdmusic/ is the setting needed by mpdroid to work correctly.
I have another question for you. How comes NAS folder is smb shared? What's the point? Why would someone go through the pi to manipulate music on the NAS source? I get the point for USB or RADIO sources but not for NAS source.
Thanks again for the great work.

Thanks again for the great work.
And some us who do use a NAS have it serving music files to more than one system. For example, I'm running several MoodePlayers in different rooms. One hooked to my main "stereo" systrm (showing my age here) and another more portable and switching between earphones and small powered speakers.
Different strokes for different folks.

WMA album art support
Hi Tim,
I reported back in March that the artwork for WMA audio files was not displaying. You confirmed this bug and said that you had produced a fix. Support for WMA album art is not mentioned in the release notes for Moode 2.6 TR5 and I can confirm that I'm still not seeing the covers.
Could you take a look at this issue again?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm running Moode Audio 2.6 TR5 on my Pi Zero with ES9023 DAC and Realtek RTL8188CUS WiFi adapter.
If I go to Configuration settings, edit some options like NAS/USB sources, close the menu and after reopen to Configuration settings, the links doesn't work anymore, my browser loading icon never stops and I have to power off and restart.
Do you have an idea ? Thank you.

Hi,
You might have to refresh me on the exact issue because I don't have anything in my notes about fixing a wma cover art bug.
The cover art module in Moode uses the Zend plugin and it does not support extracting cover images from WMA format.
Regards,
Tim
Hi,
Does this occur after initial power up, but then is resolved after a reboot?
Regards,
Tim
After initial power up. When I reboot the links are working but it's the same, if I edit something and after go back to configuration menu, click on a link, it doesn't load.
I just tried version 2.5. It's a little bit better. I could add files from an usb stick. For the NAS share I could add the parameter and I get the green check icon. But when I go back to edit the share it said "Last mount error - username specified with no parameter".
And if I click on Update MPD DB I got a kernel panic (see here).
@Tim :Since a reboot everything seems to be ok now, a least with the 2.5. I don't understand why but now the message "Last mount error" has disappeared. I have to say that it's the first I'm playing with Raspberry and Moode Audio 🙂 I don't get a kernel panic when I click on "Update MPD DB" and for the first time I see "Updating" with the spinning icon. USB stick and Airplay work too 🙂
I'll try 2.6 later with the final version.

Hi,
The symptoms you reported where UI behaves strangely or hangs, kernel panic occurs, etc., suggest something external to Moode software. Maybe a hardware issue, bad SD card, network adapter or power supply.

WiFi connection
Hi Tim,
First, many thanks for your efforts with Moode.
I'm new to Moode and all works well for me (RPi 3, Digi+, TR5) through both wired Ethernet and AP, but I can't get the device to show on my wireless network after following the instructions you've provided.
I am wondering if the kink might be a product of not having any security protocol enabled on my wireless. I enter the SSID, choose 'No security' from the drop-down menu, and enter nothing for Password, reboot, but it never shows up.
Is there something I should enter into the password field to indicate a null?
If it's not that, any other ideas?
Thanks again,

Hi Tim
Just loaded up Moode 2.6 TR5 yesterday, on a Pi3, iqaudio dac+ and headphones. Coming over from Rune, and love Moode - I'm now a convert to Moode and I'd been raving about Rune. Lovin' your work sir!
I've got a couple of very small issues - more observations. I can't get my NAS to connect and when I try to change the set up from NFS (which is how i used to connect on Rune but can't get to work on Moode) to SMB/CIFS Moode won't allow me to change anything in the configure menu. It opens the initial configure menu but then i just get the spinning refresh icon. I've then been wiping my sd card and starting again so that i can adjust. I'm new to linux so not too good at finding and resetting files via ssh.
Not a problem as a I can play my NAS library via upnp perfectly. Just if you're looking for bugs (or am i being stupid....very possible!)
The other thing is when I change the volume whilst listening to qobuz via airplay (which sounds incredible 🙂), via alsamixer either via ssh or via the configure --> system, when I change album or playlist the sound reverts back to the lower default volume. I can see it doing it in alsamixer when it's runns ssh, but the alsavolume % in sys config menu seems not to work until i then hit 'Set' again, which i have to do every time i change album or playlist. I guess that i'm doing something stupid, or maybe my tablet that i'm airplaying from is over riding, but I've got the volume on that up to 100%.
Again Tim, superb work - I'll be raving about Moode/pi3/dac+ to everyone that will listen and Moode will definitely be going in all my future projects too.

Hi again Tim et al
Literally clicked 'post' and within 1 minute realised what the volume problem via airplay was. I was being a total idiot... my airplay was setting the volume, so it was pushing the volume down each time. Sorry! Now sorted...
Cheers again for all of your work!! Donation on the way!

Hi all
I hope you don't mind me jumping into this thread with a hardware related question but there seems to be plenty of brains on board! Playing with this software and it looks great, well done. Does anyone have information on how i can connect my dac to the pi via the I2S protocol? the issue i have is that my dac needs a master clock but the pi doesn't have one..... Any idea's as I'd really like to use the I2S which is a lot better than usb.
Many thanks
