Hi No, I never tried it with Moode. All of my other players (and my LMS) run on PCP, so wanted to be consistent with everything else. You're right, there's no DSP, just the alsa 10 frequency equaliser. TBH, I only use this on small ceiling speakers - I try to avoid too much eq otherwise. On volume, when you set -V Digital on squeezelite, it does adjust the hardware volume on the DAC fine when you adjust the squeezelite volume. However, it also adjusts the display volume in squeezelite and on LMS. I don't think it's actually using the s/w volume control at this point, but I guess squezelite wants to report something for volume since you might not see the dac volume if you were using Material etc.. But, the number it reports isn't the same as the number on the dac. A bit messy. I changed the script for the oled to actually not display the volume at all. I've set the 100% fixed volume, leave the DAC alone and just use the volume on my pre-amp. Yes, I'd have liked colour OLED as well, but I do quite like being able to mess around with the display because it's controlled by a python script. I've rewritten quite a few bits of the script to make it a bit more resilient and efficient, added the ability to read file format etc. details from LMS (rather than from alsa). pete S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114744 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
