Your suggestion on random play worked perfectly. I'd missed that trick of adding the entire source to the playlist - nice one! By the way. it seems to cope with my iTunes library of >11,000 tracks just fine.

Now I'm very happy! I'm now getting all audio sources being sent bit-perfectly and un-tampered-with to my Caiman II DAC via the Pi/Moode/Digi+. All other solutions I'd used did things like re-sampling to 48/16 (eg Apple TV), or were impossible to determine if/how they were tampering with the original stream.

This is a great, and crazily low-cost streaming solution! A great combination with the Caiman II too - I have it connected from the Digi+ via the co-ax wired connection (pro 75 Ohm cable), simply because the 2 Toslink connections on the Caiman were already in use for other devices with only Toslink connections.

One suggestion - on the play screen, it might be an idea to have the playlist in its own separate scrollable div tag so you can still scroll up and down in the main area where the play and volume controls reside. I think it might help make that screen more usable with very large playlists. Alternatively have a view option where you can disable / turn off the playlist display altogether from that screen so the responsiveness of the screen isn't affected by having to cope with a very large playlist.

I'm tempted, Tim, to see what I could do with a bit of Node.js on the back-end, and React.js / React Native on the front.... but then again work has a habit of getting in the way of such fun stuff!

Thanks, BTW, to this forum and its participants which is how I discovered all about these options, components and tricks/suggestions in the first place.
