Number 1 for sound quality - moode audio player (with LL kernel and fifo option for mpd).
Where can the fifo option be found and what does it do?
Are you using hardware or software volume control?

hardware volume control.
Lower cpu load with hardware volume control is probably the reason for better sound (lower latency?).
It sounds better with hardware volume control
Glad you found the same as me.
I'm not sure it's about CPU load.
In general it seems to me that software manipulation results in poorer sound, whether this is up/oversampling or attenuation.
It looks, that IMHO the best sounding pi player will slowly dissappear because of some crazy GPL violation.
Which player would that be, and what's crazy about the GPL violation?
Moode !!!

It is no more possible to download complete ready image, first you have to install raspbian, and then go through FOURTEEN !!! pages with unix configuration like this:
...
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp1
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
sudo mount -v -o offset=4194304 -t vfat /mnt/tmp/2017-09-07-raspbian-stretch-lite.img /mnt/tmp1
sudo touch /mnt/tmp1/ssh
sudo sed -i "s/init=.*//" /mnt/tmp1/cmdline.txt
sudo sed -i "s/quiet.*//" /mnt/tmp1/cmdline.txt
sudo sed -i "s/^/net.ifnames=0 /" /mnt/tmp1/cmdline.txt
sudo umount /mnt/tmp1
sudo mount -v -o offset=48234496 -t ext4 /mnt/tmp/2017-09-07-raspbian-stretch-lite.img /mnt/tmp1
sudo rm /mnt/tmp1/etc/init.d/resize2fs_once
...
it was only one part of the first page from fourteen...
Finally you will have Moode player without special LL and RT kernels which where already present in the 3.8 version. Lucky, I have the last "normal" 4.0 beta 5 version and hope to use it for some time ...
I just can't understand.
