I have the enhanced kernel installed on my Touch. I'm running LMS 7.8 on a Vortebox appliance, playing FLACs, with the File Type set to PCM only. The connection to the Touch is wired.
The Touch is outputting Digital (only) to a Musical Fidelity M1 Clic. Once in a while the system stutters about 10 seconds before the end of some tracks. It's as if in preparation for the next track the FLAC decoding process on the VB has stopped because it thinks its job is done, and then the Touch asks for a retransmission, which requires the process to restart (but that is wild guesswork). I haven't been able to pin down when this happens precisely, except it's usually when I have settled down to some serious listening! When I try to isolate the problem it usually fails to manifest itself, a bit like taking your car to the garage with a fault that promptly disappears until you get the car back. I have never had this stutter playing music in any other way, including via a PC running squeezelite to an async USB DAC. Has anyone else had something similar? It's driving me mildly nuts. LMS 7.8 on VortexBox Midi, FLACs 16 or 24 bit. Touch on Ethernet (in another room), digital out to a Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Old wireless laptop running Linux Mint Debian controls server using Chromium. Squeezelite on Ubuntu & Windows desktops plus the laptop. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen directly to Vortexbox & other PCs as required. Spare Touch in loft! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
