The first thing I noticed when I tried soundcheck's mods was that the music was louder. Presumably there's no big secret here, because I had previously been using replaygain adjustment (SmartGain) and had the Touch's volume setting around 92% (I use the analog outs). As per soundcheck's instructions (item 1 in section 1.1.2) I turned the Touch's volume to 100% and turned off replaygain. Of course, turning the gain down on my amp was all that was needed to get to previous volume levels.
My question: why should replaygain on/off make a difference in audio quality, besides the obvious effects of perceived loudness? Isn't the gain adjustment taking place on the server? I'm still evaluating the change in sound quality from the mods. My first reaction is that I may be hearing some more detail, but I need to do more listening with and without the mods. In any event, it finally motivated me to finish running some cat5e to my living room! -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
