This is great! I read about this project, but at the time it required manually patching PulseAudio and then installing it, which is never a good thing to do unless you are using a distro like Gentoo. I use KDE Neon (Ubuntu derivative), so it was a big no-no for me. But this is quite handy as it comes packaged and ready to use! Thanks for that!

I’m curious if folks here have an opinion (never known Linux folks to have one of those 
) on if/how routing audio through JACK affects audio quality?
Clementine was giving me all sort of issues on my Mac, chewing up almost a whole CPU even when not playing anything, music scrubber not working, etc. I just tried Strawberry and it’s working flawlessly.

I’m using two Raspberry Pis, each with a SPIDF out HAT, one running Volumio, the other running MoOde. I’ve found I like Vikumio more, but I use the MoOde to resample via SoX, I’ve found is easir to configure on MoOde. Both UIs are lacking in certain respects, but I just use them to stream UPNP audio to a DAC, which I control via a control point on my iDevices, so I never actually deal with the UIs except to configure.
I also have an old Mac Mini that I use as a music server (Kodi), and I keep wondering whether I should replace MacOS with a lightweight Linux distro. Every once in a while my music hiccups, most likely because of some random MacOS process that doesn’t need to be running!
If you are using the Pi’s just for upnp into a DAC, have you tried RopieeeXL?
Anyone here using JamesDSP? Among other features are importing of APO settings text files and selecting presets from the AutoEQ database (a lot like the Qudelix 5K).
