New Moode V4.3 out – now as an image (.img) / ESP32S factory-reset/flash

so, 😉
a new “Moode” V4.3 is out; now as an image (.img); u dont have to set it up/compile it for yourself anymore->Moodeaudio.org
first impressions: (all in relation to “our” ES9038Q2M-“chinese-boards”):

choose first the “I2S-generic”-settings; runs okay, no problems..

used then the “Audiophonics ES9028Q2M” setting->for me better, not so “harsh”, got the feel it has more room, more “exact”, think its maybe about the specialized register-adressing of the ESS-chips (but don´t know for sure if they “fine-tune” it for the chip, guess so)…used then to cross-check the “hifiberry-dac” settings; the same there; for me absolutely to “harsh”, too much treble (not such a “fine resolution” as the AudiophonicsES9028-setting..)
(the “Allo Katana”-setting (at contrary to Volumio) works also NOT !! (on the ES9038Q2M (chinese)))

stayed with the ES9028Q2M-setting, then tested for DSD(DoP): works, Moode said “Encoded to DoP 352.800khz”, but the DSD-Led on the ES9038Q2M was NOT lit !!

disabled the software-mixer, resampling-options, but still no DSD-light..

i´ve mentioned it in this post/article before-> http://essabre-90xx-rpi.sfb2.com/2018/09/volumio-now-at-v2-452-did-it-dsd-lock-light-on-es9038q2m-alsamixer-archphile-xmos-usb-audio-etc/

the first time i´ve got the feel of real DSD/DoP (and the DSD-Led was lit of course) was in/with “Volumio”; foobar2000 also said ASIO-active (pcm-mode) 352.800khz and so on, but the DSD-Led was also not lit !!

conclusion for now (for “our” lovely chinese-ES9038Q2Ms 😉 ):

true/real DSD/DoP (DSD-Led lit) only on Volumio (V2.452 and up) (and meanwhile i think thats the point: with the “Allo Katana”-settings !!so far !!

by that, in listening here Moode is very very close to Volumio (maybe a little better at present IMO) (but as said, this is an absolutely personal/subjective impression).

also my ESP32S Geekcreit (Doit.am 36 pin) was not functional anymore, couldnt run/upload a sketch, tried everything, found now a way (and mainly with the right hex-adresses for the espressif-flashtool) to made it functional again->long Tut here (at the forum/at the end of the post)->LINK

greets for now 😉
