thank you all for your feedback and comments.
We read them and implement all we can.

Jonners your post indicates you may know how to switch modes on the Piano - at present the only option (aside from the TI software) is the Max2Play software which Allo promotes as the default option for the Vana player. I have not yet tried it (it seems there is a short free license for it) but I plan to look into it as soon as time permits. Is there another option you are aware of?Quote:

Maybe I am hearing that same "light bass" as I have not changed any defaults in Moode 3.1
Its the actual settings used for the 2.1 setup I am trying to investigate as I do not fully understand why there would be a need to apply a cut over level to the main DAC (or even the sub DAC?). I don't have a sub but would have thought the sub speakers onboard filtering would take care of selecting the bass level it needs so in theory the sub DAC could run as a normal config? Just thinking out loud here as no experience of subs.

I have been running a sub in my Hi-fi system for a few weeks just to help the little standmounts that I have, I'm pretty sure the standard cut off is 80-100mhz so that's maybe why the Piano 2.1 is set at 80.
I've since removed the sub as it's not really needed now that my phono stage is much better than my built in stage in my amp. I didn't really need it with the Pi anyway.
There are settings in Volumio for the Piano 2.1 which give a choice of 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 operation. If using one or two subs there's an option that is supposed to set the crossover point, between 60Hz and 200Hz. I say 'supposed to' because I couldn't get it to work in 2.2 mode as intended. I posted my findings on the Volumio forum and Allo replied that there are bugs in the DSP which they are trying to fix.Quote:

Andre, do the setting changes in Volumio and Max2Play actually write to the DAC to make the changes persistent (i.e. until the next change) or do they only apply software filters which control the DACS during the actual playing of music?Quote:

as said, i switched back to moode 3.1 with the iqdac pro setting .. i find it much more natural than the setting in Volumio ... think what u like .. moode is less overdriven (less sweet) in the bass department
hi to all.
the latest volumio image for RPI is out

I've used it but went back to Moode 3.1 which sounds as good to me. Thank's for all the work !:)
