I have done extensive comparisons of EDO 0.6 and 0.7 and for the most part agree with your impressions. For me and with my system, EDO 0.6 + TT3.0 + SBGK's settings with buffer at 999999999 and period count 16 gives the best sound. By "best" I mean sound that is well balanced across the frequency range, detailed but rich, without too hot a treble, engaging and easy to listen to for hours a time. Quite the high-end performance from a <$300 device! I appreciate Triode's skepticism about the improbability of the slight changes in the jive_alsa file having any sound consequences. His are powerful reasons. Still, I find it interesting that some of us seem (underline "seem") to experience different sound presentations. Placebo? Expectation bias? Maybe. Maybe not. I listen with Toslink out into my DAC, not USB.
