    Default Piano DAC2.1

    Hi Tim,

    First, thanks a ton for the new version of Moode ;-)

    I have been playing around with a new DAC which uses two PCM5142 chips (Piano2.1 from Allo). AFAIKS, there is no dedicated "driver" for this device in Moode at the moment ? I did try the driver that is reputed to work with this DAC IQaudio I think, but it doesn't seem to support both chips specifically. Maybe I'm missing something ?

    Greetings to you

    Hi,

    Moode 3.1 is available for download at moodeaudio.org. This is primarily a bugfix release but it does contain a nice enhancement to the Browse panel that provides auto-scroll to the selected folder when the back button is pressed.

    It also includes the 4.4.24-sc1 advanced kernel. It was necessary to switch to this kernel due to source-tree issues with 4.4.30-sc1. The same advanced audio capabilities and performance tunings are provided in 4.4.24-sc1.

    If you are currently using Moode 3.0 you can upgrade to Moode 3.1 via in-place software update. To get the update, open the System configuration page and click "CHECK for software update" then click VIEW then INSTALL. Reboot after the completion message appears and BE SURE to follow the post-reboot instructions. I've reprinted them below.

    - Open Customize and toggle the Theme color to reset it
    - Open System config and toggle the MPD scheduler policy to reset it
    - If running Advanced kernel press INSTALL to update it then REBOOT

    Regards,
    Tim

    ======================
    3.1 Release 2016-12-05

They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    What is it you are trying to do ?

    The 2 DAC chips filtering on this card can be configured using TI's own software only - see comment below from Allo. There is a youtube video showing the software in operation on the allo.com website in the piano 2.1 section.

    "The PurePath software from TI is available for download (registration required) and can be used to create specific filters and other audio functions"

    So for example you could configure the subwoofer chip as a second 'normal output' if you want 4 channel operation. The player software will only deliver a suitable signal from the PI to the DAC but not actually configure the DAC filters.

    Or are you saying the subwoofer output is not working with your unit - I haven't tried using a subwoofer with my unit yet but others may have.

    Hi,

    I would like to run the two PCM5142's in mono mode, one for the Left channel and one for Right channel, stereo 2.0 output (no sub) .., is that even possible or useful to enhance SQ ? As I said, maybe I'm missing something. Advice welcome.

    All the best. Thank's

    Interesting idea - I think you need to raise it in the DIYAUDIO forum where you will find much technical experience and comment.

    Personally, I would expect it to be a backward step for sound quality. All chips are built to meet tolerances and are not all equal so theoretically you could end up with an imbalance between channels but whether you would hear that or not I don't know. I would doubt ALLO have measured the DACS and selected/produced matched pairs at the price point they are working at.
