I know that there are absolutely no differences between setting the volume to the max and disabling the volume adjustment. Still, there is a difference between having your player just output the stream of bites vs having the player be constantly on the call and worrying about adjusting the gain etc. The less your player is capable of doing, the clearer will the signal be, and the lower the noise floor will be. I'm using Touch as a digital transport only, so I'd like it to focus on that task alone. I don't want him to be Jack of all trades and master of none. For example, one of the tweaks you can do is reconfigure mysqueezebox server (http://localhost:9000) to convert FLAC to PCM using the computer CPU. That way, Touch is relived from that duty, which results in much better sound. Also, another tweak is to commit to one output only (be it analog or digital), and to disable the other one. Also results in much better sound, because Touch has less things on the menu to worry about. Some people can't hear the difference in the sound quality when presented with such tweaks. But then again, these are the people who cannot hear the difference between the sound coming out of a TV and the sound coming out of Touch etc. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82745 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
