Responding to Julf's excellent comments in the crash thread: My impression of the general consensus is that Soundcheck's tweaks did make a noticable difference - at least to some people om some audiophile setups. There are very real questions as to whether my middle-aged ears are in shape to hear the difference and whether my definitely budget setup would obscure it before the sound gets out of the speakers and through the room, but the basis of the thinking is nonetheless that some relatively simple hacks can improve something good to something better.
>From a power supply perspective, ideally we should separate supplies to the digital and analog circuitry, but I am drawing the line at taking the thing apart and tinkering with smd components. I'm not advanced enough to play that game. Failing that, I can make sure that as little as possible digital and switching noise gets into the signal path (digital or analog) by: 1. making sure that the power is as clean as possible 2. turning off any processing and sources of EMF that I don't need. The latter will also help by freeing up system resources on what has to be a pretty minimal system. So far I have learned that: 1. Blindly hacking the RT scheduler causes instability. 2. Turning off WiFi and Samba is certainly saving power as the box is cooler - so presumably CPU, memory and bus resources are also being freed as a result. Everything else is still the subject of a potentially interesting discussion :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
