As much of the internet content on this subject is based on Soundcheck's toolboxes, which are no longer available. I would like to start a thread to discuss the current best practices, without spending too much, to get the best out of my SBT.
My impression is that the value of hardware tweaking is debatable, especially when using digital outputs, but that there may be some benefit to investing in a linear power supply and/or '\"sbooster single unit\"' (https://www.sbooster.com/sbooster-upgrade/). * I am thinking of a relatively cheap, Chinese, 2,5A linear power supply with the sbooster, which would still be considerably cheaper than an "audiophile label" power supply. All of this will have to wait for next year's budget * Although my DAC/preamp limits me to 24bit / 96 kHz, there may be some advanatage in triode's ESO and screen off plugins. *Disabling unused services is good best practice, so wifi and samba should be disabled. I have already done this and the unit runs noticably cooler. At the moment I can't comment on the audio quality as I am testing at work, through headphones. WAF demands that there be as few problems as possible once i get it home. *I did try dynobot's RT mods from 'this' (https://sites.google.com/site/computeraudioorg/squeezebox-touch-tweaks) page but suffered some segfaults and spontaneous reboots, so will need to work out what was causing the problem before trying again. If there are any current best practices for a pure s/pdif out setup, without using Soundcgheck's tweaks I'd be very happy to know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learnincurve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104317 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
