Volumio sounds a bit bland with no real depth, DietPi is clean but more digital, Moode is dryer and has less bloom to the music, the soundstage does not open up as much. But it is easy to compare yourself. Buy four inexpensive 8GB SD cards and swap them out. The only drawback is that gentooplayer is not free, but the trial license is. It also takes a bit more setup. You must enter the license, then enable MPD and UPMPDCLI. Then select the DAC type (I2S or USB), restart, then set MPD BitPerfect for your specific DAC. There are other tweaks and such, but that is all you need to make it work. odelay 1 Link to comment
DomieMic65 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 @antonellocaroli ... I use V 5.0 for my LMS RPi4 (the 3B+ end point is on 5.1) do you suggest upgrading to 5.1 or 5.0 is OK for the server? As you understand I'm trying to avoid the configuration :) But if it's 5.1 is much better over all I will upgrade! Thnx!!!

I think it's good for two weeks. Link to comment
KenMoreira Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 can anyone help me. i have my diet pi i updated using dietpi-update or what have you ran dietpi-config but have no idea how to add myd90 etc the windows on https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/blog-diy-audio/27-configure-dietpi-with-the-allo-usbridge.html do not look the same as mine in the network misc menu. and i dont see anything show up when i scan for device . i need a walkthrough or some kind of guide Link to comment
zackthedog Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The output selection is under the System Settings tab, near the bottom of the main page, IIRC. It takes some hunting around to find it, but there's a line denoting the sound card. https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2317 Link to comment

Make sure you have GMRenderer active. That's what Audirvana uses. There's a trick to selecting the DAC. What are your choices under Soundcard? Did you restart after selecting? I forget why, but it took me a couple of tries to get it working. I'll fire it up tonight and have a look. Link to comment

zackthedog Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think you should go to the DietPi forum, or there's one here for the Allo USBridge. I can't really help much more and we're hijacking the gentooplayer thread here. DomieMic65 1 Link to comment
odelay Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Filippo, is there any possibility of enabling our own commands at boot? 🙏🤞 I need to underclock my PC to stop it overheating. So not only would enabling at boot up save me the trouble of doing it each time, it would save me considerable anxiety 🙃 TF cards - USB -> GentooPlayer in RAM on Rpi4b, Ian’s PurePi II, FIFO Q7, HDMI-pro -> Audio GD R-27 -> S.A.T. Infinity monoblocks -> Gallo Stradas + TR-3 sub / Erzetich Phobos Link to comment
