Yes wonder how they do it in ASIC chips and similar ? They are fast ?
Doing it in a higher level within the OS not so fast ?
I mean the normal CPU in boom is not much
For dedicated purposes, ASICS. can be very fast, remember they have
their software turned into hardware.

The Bits don't help. And I've NEVER seen an equalizer that lowers the
overall volume to make space if you pull up the level of a band.

Actually, thinking about it: that would be an awfully useful equalizer
feature: to keep the average volume the same when pulling a level
because it would help with the awful louder sounds better effect.

You can't do in the digital domain in any other way it will clipp
horribly otherwise ? Or apply more compression
How would a professional suite like protools work if digital eq and
effects where not possible ?

I can't disagree with you from my perspective, but it is not uncommon

Which is probably a correct observation.
SQ is 90% speakers, 9% amplifier, 0.9% DAC, 0.1% everything else.
So if your amp and speakers are the same, the DAC in the Touch would

Hi there
I bought a new SBT a few days ago. Like most people on this forum I
wanted easy and convenient access to my music library. In this respect I
got what I wanted. Streaming music from my NAS works great, Ipad and
smartphone apps are joy to use.
My second consideration when buying the SBT
Welcome. One important question is whether or not you had volumes
equalized when you did your comparison of WD TV vs. SBT vs. Creative
MP3. Louder will almost always sound better. And from what I've seen a
lot of very good EQ introduces an increase in total gain, so it's
difficult to tell if the
Equalization is usually supposed to be in the amplifier. In the digital
domain, it causes to much losses.

3. Inguz works fine with LMS 7.7.2. Not tweaks where needed when I
installed it. Just follow the instructions, exactly. The browser based
Inguz interface works fine in IE but is broken in Firefox.

I'd discourage you from considering an external DAC. It's highly
unlikely it'll make any audible difference at all and, even if it did,
would be unlikely to resolve the problem you're complaining of. You

As I'm sure you realize in reading these forums, sound quality is in the
ears -- and brain -- of the listener. I'd be very skeptical about
improvements you will experience by following others' advice, including
my own.
That said, and generally speaking, however, I think the quality of
If you're not an audiophile with experience discerning subtle
differences in sound quality, you're not going to hear a difference. If
you're diddling with EQ on some other player to shape the music to a
profile that appeals to you, then I would expect that to sound better to
you.
Generally, the difference will be smaller and smaller the better the
equipment gets.
If you see huge improvements in audio quality, it's usually due to
distortion of some kind being added.
