Metrum Ambre NOT as Roon/Ropieee endpoint

[Vhond]

Somebody with experience using an Metrum Ambre using Runeaudio or Moode instead of Roon/Ropieee?

 

The only thing I can find on the internet is it should be possible to use but I will know for sure.

 

For now I am not willing to get into the Roon experience (sometimes I like to tweak the software).

Using Ambre with piCorePlayer here without any issues. As the Ambre has a regular Pi inside Installation is easy via SD Card. PiCore sound can further be improved by applying tweaks published by this guy here: https://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2018/01/raspberry-pi-audio-engine-1-introduction.html?m=1

Most of the tweaks can be applied to the Ambre...

Only downside of using it without Roon for me: the blue LED is continuously flashing. I got rid of it by using some black tape to cover it.
