IMHO the key word here is "better" Replace this with "preferable" or "different" and there might be some substance to different people "hearing" differently. Moode and Volumio use MPD and LMS SqueezeOS (and emulaters thereof) to produce the sound (this my understanding, and not a definitive statement:p) There are people who like Moode / Volumio more than LMS, some who like Squeezelite more through Moode than LMS. One person I know, on another forum, told me that he preffered Moode to LMS because he was "cursed with perfect pitch" and that Moode worked for him and LMS did not. When I first tried Moode, about v3, I found its presentation of music different to LMS in a more detailed and (faster) dynamic way (if my memory is correct). I did not take notes, did not double blind test or ensure the volume was level matched. I did not pronounce it "better", or "best". My suggestion is that you try for yourself and back your own judgement and settle for that :):) ronnie Cables, power supplies and output stages are also, IMO, best served by the empirical experience of the user :):p ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115641
