  1. Hello, The streaming adresses provided by Tim have changed. Here are the new adresses : France Musique Live http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusique-midfi.mp3 France Culture Live http://direct.franceculture.fr/live/franceculture-midfi.mp3 France Inter Paris (FIP) http://direct.fipradio.fr/live/fip-midfi.mp3 France Musique has now different streaming channels (not available on FM) in a higher definition (192 kbps) : France Musique Classique Easy http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusiqueeasyclassique-hifi.mp3France Musique Classique Plus http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusiqueclassiqueplus-hifi.mp3 France Musique Concerts Radio France http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusiqueconcertsradiofrance-hifi.mp3 France Musique Evenementielle http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusiquelevenementielle-hifi.mp3 France Musique La Contemporaine http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusiquelacontemporaine-hifi.mp3 France Musique La Jazz http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusiquelajazz-hifi.mp3 France Musique Ocora Musique du Monde http://direct.francemusique.fr/live/francemusiqueocoramonde-hifi.mp3
  2. Another recent and beautifully played recording of the Nocturnes by Emmanuelle Swiercz (in Hi-Res on Qobuz as well).
  3. I use 2 iPower units, one for my Rpi 2B running Moode, the other one for the second optical-to-Ethernet converter as I use an optical bridge. The improvements were obvious on different sound aspects depending on the recordings. I am considering using 2 other iPower units for the Ethernet switch and the first Ethernet-to-optical converter.
  4. Without hesitation, the ones by Francois Chaplain
  5. Using Ario on Linux was very helpful to me to see where my metadata were incorrect or strange. Because Ario can display all the metadata by columns, it's pretty easy to find what is wrong or not. I had to correct many files (using Meta on my mac) which are stored in a NAS. I don't have 43000 files, but only 37000 ;-) and anyway it takes time to edit the faulty files properly.
  6. On the occasion of the new release (2.5), I tried again Moode and at last my collection appears entirely under the library tab (which was not the case with the previous versions, having problems to load the ALAC files I still have from my previous iTunes library). Hurrah ! And thank you so much, Tim. My secret desire : to be able to browse the library by composers ;-) The Artists bar could become a drop down menu where we could choose Composers. Would it be possible ? Ario on Linux proposes this feature, so I guess that MPD is not the problem. Regards, LLZZ
  7. I just got a 5V iPower to supply a Raspberry Pi 2B (a part of my system is : NAS > Optical bridge > Raspberry Pi 2B > Audiophonics Digi+ card > Dac). This is the very best improvement I never experienced after the optical bridge. So much subtle details appeared on recordings I know very well (classical, contemporary music). Indeed, the iPower is a must have...
  8. Yes please, post your tech note. Thanks in advance !
  9. I was wondering if using an iPower is even better than to use a battery. I would be interested to use an iPower with my Raspberry Pi 2 only if it gives better results than using an external battery as I do until now.
  10. Thanks both of you for your replies. The tweak then double the price of the DAC itself. It's probably what would want a sound engineer working in a studio where Benchmark is well appreciated but probably not an audiophile (but who knows ;-)
  11. Available on Elite Diffusion web site : https://www.elitediffusion.com/hifi/ifi-audio/ifi-audio-ipower.html
  12. Hello, Because of my bad english, I don't understand if the price mentioned on Sound Affairs web site ($1999) is the the price of the tweak or the entire tweaked DAC2 + the power supply. Can you tell me ? Thanks !
  13. Thanks Tim, As someone probably reported to you before, we can see a part of the library during the updating process but not anymore when it's completed. Best, LLZZ
  14. Feldman : Patterns in a Chromatic Field Rohan de Saram, cello. Marianne Schroeder, piano. Perfect album for a long evening (almost 2 hours of magic). Fantastic interpretation, neutral and precise. It's like we can hear the vibration of each piano string and the entire body of the cello.
  15. Hello, I'm trying Moode with a Raspberry Pi 2. The SQ is splendid (I use a HifiBerry Digi+) and I really like the radio streamings that Moode provides (especially FIP !) However, I can access and launch the files from the NAS using the Browse tab where I can see all the mounting points I have declared but nothing appear using the Library tab. I updated the sources many times, tried the last test release 2.1 as well with alas the same disappointing result. Did I miss something ? Best, LLZZ
