Dear Phil. Just try it - I made it very easy for you and others to change values. You can do simple ABX testing on any of the mods I present. And if you can't hear or measure it, that doesn't mean that it does not exists!!!! It just means that you can't hear or measure it under your conditions, which are different from the rest of the world. Not any system is the same. And measurements are an art on its own. I don't believe in any of those measurements out there. You can turn all on and off with one command. I play completely open here. Yep. I do even claim that turning off a channel in asound.conf makes a difference. As I wrote on the BLOG: Less is more - that's the philosophy behind all my mods. It's that simple. You might want to look at the alsa pages how a buffer works and gets managed. Don't forget to look up the code and kernel scheduler, timers drivers, interrupt handler, power supplies asf. to figure it out. Good luck. You'll need it. I just stopped speculating about what's causing this or that. You see that the discussions I started earlier ( see Mnyb link) won't lead anywhere. I just try an idea and see if it works. I can tell you I tried plenty of other measures which went into the wrong direction. People like Gordon Rankin (Wavelength Audio) are not able to nail those effects down, even though he got the best analyzers and equipment at hand. At least people like him and Charles Hansen (Ayre) meanwhile admit that those effects exists. Hansen even wrote his own player. (And all thhis sudden honesty took a lot of time to show up. (Due to obvious business related reasons. If all DACs suffer you admit it openly. If not the effect doesn't exist because you can't measure it - pretty simple marketing strategy to protect your product.) Even those guys enjoy software like Amarra or similar, because it just makes computer based audio sounding better. Again good luck on your quest. I gotta run. Need to enjoy my small buffers settings. :D Beside that I need to figure out new mods. Listening to great sound challenges my creativity to go after more. :D Cheers -- soundcheck 'soundcheck's au...@vise - Squeezebox Touch Toolbox 2.0' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/01/soundchecks-squeezebox-touch-toolbox-20.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84061 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
