Unfortunately not. I am using currently the Pi for another different configuration. Perhaps I will come back to Moode someday. Thanks anyway

Dear Tim, I did. First in /audio. Next moved them to /media. Next moved them to /media/usb0 (just folder, no device). No success... BR, Pete

Hi Tim Thanks. I tried to: 1) use less power by removing HD disk from system and added some music to flash memory. I was not able to browse the SD card content. Can you tell me how to access this? 2) use the same power supply and HD for the Bananpi configuration. Everything runs smoothly. So that ain't t the problem, although bananapi might use a little less power. Best regards Pete

Tim, I have the Conductor with ES9018. The Virtuoso is a new model, same DAC. Does the addition of the Burson to the Customize popup change the behavior or Moode or is it merely a cosmetic upgrade? Concerning the SACD and HR playback results of continuous cracks, I like to share the following. On a Banana Pi - Linux bananapi 3.4.104+ I run currently squeezelite. The squeezelite does playback HR files. My problem with squeezelite is that I have every few minutes a crack, independent from the audio format. So this does not fully meet my requirements. MooDe did so far produce not any cracks on plain FLAC but could not produce 2 seconds of HR audio without cracks. Can you share your thought on this? Has Linux 3.18 (MoOde) more problems than Linux 3.4? Thanks Pete

Hi Tim, All of sudden without making any change to my configuration I have a new problem. Rebooting the PI and/or DAC in any order has no influence. I can browse and select a song. The UI shows the selected song. However: - playback does not start or is ended in a split second. - volume cannot be changed, UI will show to change it to 50 or 100%, but it will instantly return to the 0 postilion. I got the impression it does not respond on the DAC too. As normally I hear a click (relais?) on the DAC when starting up or change to HR. Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks Pete

Dear Tim, The addition of "dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_mask=0x3" is OK. No longer just noise from DAC! I play for 1 hour without any cracks/clips, so that's fine. I like to do a real A-B comparison later. I tried to play SACD and high resolution flac (3mbps/96kHz). This results in many cracks. I made the following observations: 1) From the "Audio information" I conclude the bitrate is changed (input +- 3mbps, output +- 4mpbs) 2) From the "Customization section" the audio device is empty as my Burson Conductor is not in the list. Do you have a solution for my problem? Thanks in advance Pete

Dear Tim, I read the review of the Moode on Part-Time Audiophile | Imagine Sisyphus Happy and directly started to use it. I tried several other configurations (squeezelite, ...) but each resulting in small cracks, while on my SB configuration I had good sound quality. Feedback on the installation: I needed to add "max_usb_current=1" to /boot/config.txt to have good access to the 2.5 inch USB drive. Installation went smoothly and scanning 500GB music database on USB disk is FAST! However playback does not work as my USB DAC is not supported. I have a Burson Conductor. I guess this can easily be solved as other distributions have support for this, isn't it? Any support is welcome. Thanks in advance, Pete
