I've tried it last night. Changed the buffer size from 4,000 to 3,600 (ttbuffer). Did I hear a night-and-day difference? No. Did I hear some difference? I'd say yes, but in a subtle way. Overall, the sound became more 'liquid', if that's even a meaningful qualifier. I've used Santana's "Oye Como Va" as a yardstick when comparing two buffer sizes. With 3,600, the bass sounds stronger and more melodic, more focused and thus somewhat deeper. The highs are mellower, allowing the sparkle of cymbals and maracas to shine trough with less glare (btw, what a fantastic band performance from "Abraxas"!) Overall, I'd call it a worthwhile tweak. -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
