Finally got around to trying this mod. Created scripts to set and reset all the relevant rtpriorities, then sat with a (Linux) laptop and toggled the settings back and forth as desired while listening.
Results: nothing at all. Not even the slightest hint of a possibility of there being a difference in the sound. Tried some very extreme settings and still heard no differences (except for when some made the Touch unresponsive so it had to be power cycled). For reference, I am streaming flac files from the server (SBS) via ethernet (wired), with the Touch connected via coax into a Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1. By comparison, I have found that most every digital cable I have tried between the Touch and DAC-1 affects the sound slightly (ah, but which one is "correct"??). Running top shows the Touch cpu is generally 75-80% idle while playing flac files, so I am not surprised that changing process priorities had no effect. -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89359 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
