Hi Tim,
I did the following tests:
select "RPi DAC" in the "I2S audio device" dropdown, then press SET, change "/ etc / modules":
snd_soc_bcm2708
snd_soc_bcm2708_i2s
bcm2708_dmaengine
snd-soc-pcm1794a
snd_soc_rpi_dac
After reboot in MPD Configuration, under Audio output: "nothing selected" (attached picture).
I also did other tests:

There is no module snd_soc_bcm2708.
B)
root@moode:~# modprobe snd_soc_bcm2708
FATAL: Module snd_soc_bcm2708 not found.
C) root@moode:~# aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
I found several references in audio forums about snd_soc_bcm2708 module no longer in Raspian from version 3.08.
I understand that this is the problem because DAC ES9018 don´t work, but don´t know why this module is not more Raspbian and I don´t found a solution.

Daniel.

Hi Daniel,
I did a quick search "snd_soc_bcm2708 missing" and ran across posts indicating that the module "is no longer needed" which would explain why it is not in the newer kernels, but why its not needed anymore, I don't know.
The only i2s dac coded in Moode that does not have or work with an existing i2s dtoverlay driver is the RPi-DAC, it requires /etc/modules according the maker as I recall.
What happens if u remove snd_soc_bcm2708 from /etc/modules ?
Its looking like a dtoverlay i2s driver is needed for ES9018 chip.

Tim
Hi Twerp, how you connected the i2s dac to the old RPi?

Hi Birca,
My old RPI model B is a revision 2 board with the P5 header. If you don't have the P5 connector I really don't think it's worth the hassle of trying to attach an I2S DAC as it involves soldering directly on the board. But if you're brave enough, here are some details:

Add BNR radio station?
Hi Tim,
I've tried to add the Dutch station Business News Radio myself but can't get it to work with MoOde.

Can you help?

Hi,
Try this URL for BNR station 🙂

To find the direct streaming url in .pls file I add it to iTunes then Get info, file.

A number of users on the AOS (Art of Sound) forum have upgraded to a linear psu with good results. I am using a Anker 2nd Gen Astro Pro2 with good results.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for multichannel DAC that will work with the Moode/raspberry pi either via USB or as an add-on board? I'm looking for 8 channels out that doesn't cost a fortune but still sound OK. It will be used for active amplification/cross-over where every channel out goes to a separate amplifier - all controlled from a set-up based on Moode.
The only one I have seen is the ASUS Xonar U7 but not sure how the sound is since it seems to be more designed for computer gaming and I don't really need an integrated headphone amp. Have anyone tried one with Moode/Raspberry pi and if so, does it sound ok?
There are also some pro-audio ones like the Motu 1024, or the exasound e28 which both looks really, really good but they are way more than I want to pay (plus I haven't found any references that they will work with the pi). Are there any other good options with a more budget friendly pricing?

I was trying to cast music from my pc to the rpi but it does not really want to work stable enough (I believe it is win10 problem here).
What is another option to stream music?
DLNA server seems to be there but not sure how to set it up..

I have also had good experience with an Anker 2nd Gen Astro E4 battery. My expectation bias of course ruled it was better, but to be honest, I haven't really done any a/b tests so can't really tell if it is better or not.
@voxxonline - Do you power the DAC via the pi board or will the linear psu be for the DAC alone?
I know, none the less linear psu is needed, I want to hide rpi and having parts available makes it easy.
Hi,
Just a brief update that exFAT file system will be supported in release 2.4 🙂
and I'm using a new forum id "TimCurtis"

Hi Tim, was there a problem with your old ID? We can rename your old account or merge the two. With a rename we normally put a previously .... so people know. Tony.
