First: many thanks to Tim and all contributors to this great software 
.
My setup:
Streaming device:
I started with streaming from local NAS over 10 years ago using Logitech Squeezebox touch. When the network of the Squeezebox started to cause problems. I switched to a RPI solution: First with a HiFi Berry DAC Pro+ using the standard Pi power supply: Software piCorePlayer with Squeezelite as renderer and Jivelite for visualization on the Waveshare display. However, I was not satisfied with the sound. After reading and listening to YouTube videos (especially The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel - YouTube. I decided to upgrade my streamer - see above.
Experience:
I started with moode/Squeezelite as renderer, because I've LMS installed. I the tested moode/MPD as renderer. I could clearly hear a difference between this two renderers, moode/MPD being better.
Conclusion: The sound is really great, clear und full-bodied, much better than before.
