  1. A year on and I'm still awaiting a response. Someone must know. :(
  2. Can anyone direct me to the best place to find Daphile operating instruction. I have Daphile working wonderfully on a dedicated music server and uploaded lots of tracks to it initially. I have an external HDD which is my master library to which I add additional tracks using EAC. How can I plug in the external HDD to the dedicated server and just get it to top up Daphile with the new tracks? Also, there are a few 'buttons' on my Daphile screen and don't know what they do
  3. Thanks for explaining it Tim It seems to me that improvements to any music player cover broadly 3 main categories 1. Functionality 2. Ease of use 3. Absolute sound quality Many people like me are searching for absolute sound quality. This doesn't mean absence of clicks etc (that should be a given) but the ability to displace a very expensive record deck or CD player. We are even willing to sacrifice 1. and 2. to achieve 3. In this context where does upgrading to Moode OS sit?
  4. Anyone with a bit of info on the Rasberry Pi The RPI has a LED on it that flashes from time to time. What exactly is happening within the PRI that makes the light flash? Cheers Chris
  5. Thanks Tim, you have answered my question - that the RPI takes a small amount of the track into its memory which it then streams. Are there any (audible) downsides to making the buffer larger so it always has a surplus of data to stream.
  6. Sorry, this info is probably on here somewhere, but I cant find it. Does the RPI facilitate streaming directly from an external HDD that is plugged into one of its USB ports or does it take the data from the HDD into its internal memory before streaming it?
  7. I'm afraid over thinking comes from a profession in science unfortunately not in electronics So lets try this: It's known how power supplies can be a bit over or under the exact stated voltage. What if the hard drive is fed by 5.0v and the RPI gives out 5.2v. Will the HDD still 'ignore' the RPI. Just so I have a full understanding of what's happening. The HDD delivers the information to the RPI in a manner that is not subject to jitter (and any other things that may affect it). The RPI then streams it via USB and at this stage the digital data becomes susceptible to jitter etc. Thanks for you help.
  8. I have my raspberry pi (RPI) running off a linear power supply and supplying music to my system. Its a great improvement having removed the switching PSU. The problem is my external hard drive containing my music is plugged into the RPI. Not only is it sending the digital data, but also its receiving 5 volts from the RPI (not good). Now the external hard drive has its own PSU supplying both 12v and 5v. I think this means the 5v from the RPI is redundant and I should be able to cut the appropriate wires at the computer end (red and black). This will mean that the wire connecting the hard drive and RPI will only carry data and should improve SQ. What do you think?
  9. A question on devices to control Moode on an RPI. I have installed a Wi-Fi dongle on my RPI solely to be able to control the system wirelessly. It works faultlessly on my Hudle 2, but I am looking at something a bit smaller than the Hudle. I have tried an old mobile phone (Samsung Y) which is probably pretty obsolete technology (although it does rotate the screen if turned on it's side!). It establishes contact with the RPI but all the scripts overlaps and the Moode display is very messy. Is this to be expected from an 'old' phone?

  11. I have a £35 RPI fed by a £220 5v linear power supply. If sound quality is your number one priority then this is a no brainer.
  12. Just wanted to say how easy it was to set up the Wi-Fi dongle from within Moode. For others reading this, the Ethernet cable and Wi-Fi connections are assigned different IP adresses, so when you have the option of both you need to call up the required IP to get control.
  13. Thanks Tim, just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something. (3) looks good to me.
  14. Hi again Making progress every day There is a 'turn off' push button, but what is its function? Mine turns off Moode and also turns off my USB hard drive. It leaves the RPi on, but it then hangs up. There is no turn on function left on the screen. To turn things on again I have to unplug the RPi and start again, which sort of defeats the object of the 'turn off' push button. Thanks Chris
