We learn with every new experience and we want to travel more and more. My journey across tech is in a way of in depth reviews I create and produce for you, trying to bring a valuable information, helping you making the right purchase decisions for your set up and budget. I focus on audiophile stuff as DACs, amplifiers, headphones, speakers and other as these are the things I am passionate about and close to me because of my professional background in audio and video production field and music productions.

FX-AUDIO DAC-X3. DAC / Headphone Amplifier - REVIEW
I thought Bluesound OS was too buggy.. but then I tested Volumio 😂
Does Volumio 3 support folder view? I want to play local files on a USB drive and i need the software to respect the folder structure i created (Genre/Artist/Album/Track) without re-tagging, re-indexing, etc. basically i want the software to play my folders as they are and leave them alone. I don't want to have to rename thousands of songs until they comply with the software's behavior. Thank you.
6 years later… I recently bought a pair of the Wharfdale Diamond 225 with a Dayton Audio HTA-200 amp and am really enjoying it. An amazing combination for about $650! Love it.
Hey. I am trying to find a free or pay-one-time-only-solution to get my PI4 running tidal with an pi2aes hat. I'm stuck and thinking of either selling the pi and getting a tidal connect approved 'normal' streamer or getting volumio. I've seen all you video's on the subject. Does anyone sees a solution? The hifiberry OS gives me slow rate music. And I wonder if a native (tidal) support is sound quality wise always preferable over MConnect UPNP.
Sorry for late reply. Re your question. IMO Yes, native tidal support is always better because it has to have an API from tidal/direct connection so there is no conversion or "packing" of the music data to any other format and than unpacking as is with any wireless music app sending to your PI music trough any wireless protocol/codec. But are you going to heart the difference for example in a comparison with MConnect UPNP app? It all depends on the rest of the system as always. On my system I can hear it. Is it a deal braker for me for casual daily listening? NO. For critical listening yes.
@@TechRoadTrip Thank you. And thanks in retrospect for the different video's on the subject. I yesterday downloaded a free trial of audirvana. It looks good and connects to my ropieeexl pi. One can create a connection within audirvana with tidal. It sounds similar, in first listen, to my mconnect thing. I will compare with volumio later, since i think the audirvana option is still not the same as tidalconnect. Is my assumption right that the audirvana option is technically the same as the mconnect, and so soundwise? I am a bit of a critical listener so i will continue my quest.
Thanks, great video!
Worked like a charm for a few months but now it seems to have a problem. Is there a way to update it or do I need to reinstall the entire thing? Thanks
interessante
TH-cam Music?
"A full step by step guide of the entire installation of Volumio ... " but at 2:55 you skip how to flash the os to a sd card and then at 3:19 we are suddenly seem to be accessing the Volumio os (on the pi ?) via a browser? without any explanation of how you did this or what you are doing?
any idea how to open Tidal on moode audio 9.0.4 ?? there is no longer option in UPnP ...
My coworker got a Raspberry Pi 3, 4, and 5, along with the HiFiBerry DAC2 ADC Pro sound card hat and a case to put it all in. The hat alone was $75, and I don't even want to know the total cost of everything else he bought. We installed a 128GB memory card with the newest Raspberry Pi OS downloaded from the Pi website. We did everything: editing config files, going in as root, editing stuff, trying everything on your website, editing the config file to turn off HDMI sound-just a ton of absolutely ridiculous stuff to try to get it to work. We tried all three versions of the Raspberry Pi hardware as well. There are no definitive drivers or installers. My guess is you depend on the Raspberry Pi OS to load most of it by default and use some kind of mumbo jumbo homebrew code to make it kind of haphazardly force it to work. Then, when Raspberry Pi updates, it leaves your device with so many variables that only a pro user who knows everything about the OS might have a chance, if they are lucky, to get it working. I'm just being honest, not trying to put your company down. I feel that you guys need to STOP, take a step back, and look at what you're doing. Work on developing software and driver packs with 6 or fewer clicks to auto-detect the sound card and install it, with some tools to test and make sure the sound card is working. If the sound card fails to install, have it provide some useful information on WHY. Frankly, the HiFiBerry and Raspberry Pi platform is a complete joke, basically a kid's toy dressed up to look serious. In this day and age, if you can't just snap it together, load the OS, load the driver, and have it just work, then it's basically a waste of time. I told my coworker to give up on it, send the HiFiBerry and anything he can back, and get his money back. I can build him a basic PC with a Creative sound card that will run circles around this little tinker toy product.
I am an hobbyist and am beginning to love this Moode Software.
Thank you for the guide. What do I need to change to output to ALSA loopback? Also the output needs to be 44.1 kHz (this to pass the audio on to CamillaDSP). Thanks again!
Since I have YT premium, I use YT music for all my music streaming but the YT app in LMS is almost impossible to set up. You have to create a project in google console and then they have to manually review the project and verify it. Only then can you do the OAuth thing that the LMS YT app requires. Other than that. It's a nice tool. Your guide was very helpful.
Thank you for sharing
Set Samba 4 "Create File Mode" to '0775'
There is no more mysqueezbox. Are there some other good alternative for Raspberry Pi?
I couldn't understand the audio on this and I couldn't read anything on the website because there is almost no contrast - light text on white ?
New video comparison with better audio is coming up soon. Re the web I don't know what monitor u use but for most people it's just fine. Tested on multiple devices
@@TechRoadTrip Thank you for responding - especially to an older video. The monitor I'm using is a Benq monitor with external speakers. It seems to work fine for other videos. I also tried it on Samsung TV, but it wasn't any better. It sounded like the narrator was speaking softly, but too close to the microphone. The resulting sound seemed bass heavy and garbled. Of course it could also be that at 70 yrs old, my hearing and vision are not what they used to be. Anyway, thanks for posting and it would be great to get an updated version.
Does Volumio still supports tidal or that requires some volumio subscription?
New updated video review of current Volumio version is coming up soon. ...And yes, unfortunately only the paid subscription of Volumio supports Tidal and Tidal connect
Update some 2023 version: -The gui is slow on pi4 -the interface is counter intuitive, completely unclear -there is no version for pi5 -it soes not allow plug and play for keyboard and mouse. For media? -still requires hifiberry hardware? This does not make any sense if you want to output your audio digitally via Bluetooth or HDMI They really should open source the system and free it from hardware restrictions. Like this it is completely useless
When I reconnect to moode there is no connection
Thanks for the video but when I launch the last command: docker-compose up -d I get: ERROR: Can't find a suitable configuration file in this directory or any parent. Are you in the right directory? Supported filenames: docker-compose.yml, docker-compose.yaml What can I do?

Thanks man. You just made my day. I was a volumio user and I was so angry about it. With this tutorial am happy again. I have now all what I want. Thank you :)
so much bass in your audio....holy shit man
Beautifully shot video!
For me...I've had countless issues with HiFiBerryOS. For one, the bluetooth feature just randomly stops working. It's been a horrible experience trying to ssh into the hifiberryos and re-configure anything because the official website has countless outdated posts regarding what the default admin password is to even login to your device. In fact, none of the passwords I attempted to use even work. I've had essentially only one option for using this device, and that is to AirPlay from my macbook. Unfortunately, this actually isn't the most recommended way to stream hi-res, as airplay is known to use compression. Additionally, trying to configure this to work with my dedicated Linux-based homelab/NAS also never works. So, all of the lossless music I have stored is inaccessible to stream direct from my own network--despite the HiFIberryOS being direct ethernet connected into the LAN that my NAS is on (I'm not even trying to cloud/remote access my NAS). PiDAL was just a better experience for me.
Very welcome notice to the Material Skin. With this LMS looks much better and handles better on mobile devices. Thank you.
I also tried it and it works very well actually. I use it with on a pi4B 2GB on Wi-Fi and sometimes the connection drops but I think the pi is at fault as it happens in piCore player also. In August 2023 Tidal introduced Hi-Res FLAC content at up to 24 bit 192 kHz. With this setup the streamer will only play up to MQA files and wont play Hi-Res content. I think this Tidal connect build is older and doesn't support the new Tidal API that differentiates the file quality using tokens. If I could somehow edit the token file in Tidal connect container maybe I could enter the desktop app token and could play Hi-Res content via Tidal connect but the token is renewed every day and might be complicated to do this daily. Anyway great work for the container creator.
thank you very much for explaining the differences! :)
Please speak a prober English this is not Russia
Thanks for the info and the hard work you put in creating the video. I do want to mention that the audio is too bassy. I was having a hard time understanding with soo much rumble. Maybe consider a 100hz low cut filter.
You are incorrect when you say this is how spotify or tidal connect works. With upnp the stream travels through the phone/pc which acts as a player und uses upnp to send the music to the renderer. The same with AirPlay. These protocols have locked data transmission rates and any other rates will be resampled, meaning NOT bit perfect. Tidal connect acts as a remote controll service, so the stream runs directly to the renderer and it will play at the original samplerate/bitrate, meaning bit perfect. When playing MQA streams, in case you care about it, you need an MQA decoding DAC as the Tidal app on your phone does the controll only.
Default uset and password is no longer supported. You have to make your own user and pw
is there a mob app for moode?

Does youtube music work?
Thank you! Is Volumio a good Roon alternative?
Yes, of course, the player just magically appears in your web browser. What spell do I need to cast to get that to happen? You only skipped about a million steps. 🤪
I feel like this skipped all the hard parts. I'm so confused:(
Excellent video! Have you made a video on the streaming quality? What are your foobar settings?
Also how can we stream from paid services like Amazon music or quobuz? (using upnp)
This is so clearly explained and proved so helpful. I am a complete Pi novice but followed this easily enough. Thanks so much. After following the instructions, the only thing I couldn't work out was how to transfer my existing mp3 collection stored on a NAS to the new data folder on the Pi SD card - as the data folder wasn't showing on my network for some reason. Advanced IP Scanner sorted that out for me though. Tidy. Its given a new lease of life into my lovely old logtech squeezebox boom and UE Smart radios after the BBC stopped its old streaming service in favour of BBC sounds.
