Hi M-H; Nice post. I think this was edwardthern's original intention, give it a go. It is simple to do, only takes a few minutes and there is no $$$ cost. I do think edwardthern was a little harshly done by in this thread and unfortunately that provoked a "reaction". One thing I can't understand, if people find a tweak marginally improves the sound quality why don't they try doing the opposite and make it sound far worse. That would prove to me that something is happening. For example, lets assume reducing CPU usage from 1% to 0.5% improves sound quality, then conversely, increasing CPU usage from 1% to 50% should cause a major degradation in sound quality! I do find commercial products based on voodoo immoral, maybe if people experimented with "free" voodoo they would be less likely to be conned? regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106252 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
