Sound Differences Between Moode 7, 8, and 9 - Vadimdecember - 02-05-2025

I've conducted extensive testing on my system (Line Magnetic LM-216AI, Magnat Signature 1105, Pi2AES HAT) and noticed that different Moode versions sound quite different. Moode 9 seems brighter and drier, while Moode 7 provided a more spacious and immersive sound. Additionally, I've observed that the SD card affects the sound quality.

Has anyone else experienced similar differences? I'd love to discuss your experiences!

Tim meant the "Sound Quality" sub-forum... further down, in the Audiophile section at the bottom of the page.

Here we mainly discuss issues/solutions (Support).

Just my 2c

I know, I don't know why I made the post in the same section... Sorry, is there any way to delete this thread entirely?

I think differences are due to MPD version. Check out MPD 0.22 in Moode 7.4.0 compared to MPD 0.23~git, which was a trial in the same Moode version. I think that option was in Moode 7.4.0. Could be wrong. Anyway, I thought there was a significant difference in SQ going from MPD 0.22 to 0.23 .
