MinimServer and foobar2000 come close in their own ways, but are still not nearly as good (I haven't tried Asset, not least because it isn't free). One of the enormous advantages of open and free software is that forums, like this one, often work really well. One can comment on 'features', and get answers. No one is saying "it isn't worth the money", and so on.

I listen almost exclusively to classical music, which tends to have a much wider dynamic range than other styles of music. I find it best if I choose the volume I want rather than relying on software to do it for me :) LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi running Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Wired Touch + EDO, coax to Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls LMS via Chromium. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen via Squeezelite on Vortexbox & other PCs as required. Spare Touch in loft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101622 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
