As I read post #114 in 'this thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742&page=12), it appears that the same variable calculations are done with or without the mod. The only difference is that with the mod, after doing the calculations, whatever is calculated for the variable is replaced by the constant 2^16. So the load on the CPU is the same. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84903 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
