Hearing all this I am more likely not to mess around ...it works so i will just leave it that way I think rather than try other options like music box etc.
was listening today b4 i put the tt on and it is pretty impressive to my old ears.

I'm running Moode and PI-DAC+ myself but plenty use Volumio and I have used it myself via USB to an external DAC on a Pi B.
Give it a go?
OK - so still disappointed. I set output to 2v rather 1v, added the additional .8db of gain and tried pushing main output to max. I had back main output back down, sounded like I was overloading the buffer stage of the DAC+. Results a little better, but still poor compared to CD.Quote:

I compare Pi2 based audio out via TV tonight - if it is not significantly worse that the DAC+ output, I'll put the DAC+ in classifieds soon :)

This may or may not help but this how I setup Moode and the RPi/IQaudio DAC + combo. My music is on a NAS and the RPi is wired.
Go to System Menu
- set time zone
- set I2S Audio device to IQAudio DAC+
- set ALSA vol to 100%
- set Airplay on
Reboot
Go to MPD menu
Audio output should be: 'I2S Audio Device'
Disable Volume ( I use a passive Pre)
Resample choice 16 bit / 176.4 Khz
SOX: High Quality
Hit Apply, go to sources menu
Click New NAS
give it a name
Select SMB/CIFS
enter IP address (no leading or trailing slashes / or \ )
enter remote directory (this maybe case sensitive so watch what you put in here)
User Name for me is Guest with a capital G
no password, leave blank
Click Save
Bizarre... I've heard (and owned) many different Naim CDPs, and in my system, the RPi/IQ-Audio DAC (correctly set up and optimised) murders them all.Quote:

As I say it works fine with exactly the same settings on Rune Audio. I'm using a Digi+ board rather than a DAC board, but that's an easy menu option. Always falls over at the same point. Have spent literally hours trying different things here. Have concluded it must be a bug.Quote:

That's such a pain in the arse, Tom. It's worked faultlessly for me since day 1....
I wonder what issues could be causing the problems others and you are having, compared with many folks like me who were up and running in no time at all? :scratch:

Indeed. That place is about as much use a chocolate teapot!Quote:
