OP - I am new to Moode Audio and so far it's been a very high grade audiophile experience. Have tried VitOS, RopieeXL, DietPi and I am pretty certain Moode is the best sounding to my ear and my system.
I also did A/B between the 32bit and 64 bit kernel architecture. I am not a Linux coder or anyone who really understands the inner dynamics of CPU design, but once again with the 64 bit setting there was clear instrument separation, more pronounced black background, cleaner lows and better vocals without any digital glare or fatigue.
I wanted to take the time to write my opinion in case someone can benefit. I am very impressed with Moode.
Office setup:
Croft Integrated amp
Metrum Onyx DAC
Harbeth p3esr speakers
Roon endpoint - Raspberry Pi4 running Moode USB into my DAC (waiting for Pi2AES HAT)
Listening Roon:
Sim Audio amplifier
Metrum Jade preamp/DAC
Aurender Streamer
Von Schweikerts
JL Audio fathom sub (2)
