Re: [slim] pCP Noticeably Slower and Auto Restart Fails

2021-10-24 Thread scslite


Well sort of.  Logs showed my NFS disk was failing to mount.  So not
sure why the heck it's not mounting.  

Unchecked this and LMS and Squeezelite is auto restarting again.  

So have to now figure out what the problem is with my NAS.

Re: [slim] pCP Noticeably Slower and Auto Restart Fails

2021-10-24 Thread scslite


Network is connected and is working fine.  Been using WiFi ever since
and just recently auto start is not working.  Everything still works
fine it's just after reboot I have to manually start squeezlite then
LMS. 

Unfortunately, my AP is in a location that is not possible to connect to
it via ethernet.  

Maybe I'll try Volumio if this becomes too annoying

Thanks anyway.

It’s not the needle drop. It’s the fact that the playout mechanism
currently goes from digital to analogue before being encoded into the
digital streams. The analogue out is a Pi while the analogue input is a
bog standard Realtek sound card. This is the weak point of the whole
delivery mechanism and is more than likely where the flatness is
introduced.
This will be replaced by a digital only delivery in due course but the
previous digital only incarnation on a VM had the noise interference.

Re: [slim] Testers wanted

2021-10-24 Thread Redrum


Ive been listening to the FLAC stream through radio now playing on a
competent system (touch, decent schitt dac, 60wpc Arcam integrated,
older Klipsch bookshelf speakers with a small goldenear sub) and it
sounds quite good. A couple of observations:

1) Artwork lead (previously reported).
2) I had previously commented on "low gain" compared to other stations.
The "gain" has definitely increased, although it might still be a bit
below a few others I listen to- RP FLAC, Planet Radio US, etc. But quite
livable. Switching stations should not cause a huge volume
increase/decrease.
3) I just turned it up when Supertramp "school" played. A good audition
song. Sounded real good loud (louder than I would normally listen). I
quickly queued up my ripped copy without touching the volume, and found
the volume levels to be similar (no replay gain used) and the sound
quality was very similaras well (to my aging ears)

For what it's worth.no complaints, nice work Jim! 

Jim

Don't think Replay Gain is the issue as it has been applied to all
tracks in my local library without problem. Maybe it is the needle
drops? What did you use for the analogue > digitising chain?
