After few days of testing i am convinced, that TT 3.0 sounds much better than TT 2.0 + dynaudio priority mods.
The sound has more space, details, blackness between sound, 3d imaging and for me the most visible change is more live, PRAT or whatever you call it. Maybe soundcheck like the Naim Audio sound approach and tuned SBT in this direction ? I have SBT with 7.7 nightly, Teddy Pardo diy ps, Buffalo II DAC. SBT is connected with ethernet to a small Cisco switch dedicated only to SBS-SBT connection. SBS runs on a fast dual core Lenovo notebook with W7, SSD for OS and second 2GB USB HD for waves (yes - waves). I converted all my 30.000 files with dbPoweramp to waves. One can convert all flacs into waves with dbpoweramp in batch mode without loosing the tags :) Running with buffer=3400 and without xruns even when playing 24/96 waves. Checked different priorities of spdif, and the impact is not so big as in TT 2.0. With higher values (50-55) there was IMHO little more details and space, but the sound was leaner with less bass, so i just set spdif priority to 41 instead of 40 to have my peace of mind knowing that spdif has liitle higher priority than many other processes with 40 ... ;) To change the priority of spdif process, you just have to edit the /usr/bin/tt file, find the line number 226 and change the value of PRIOIRQ47=40 to PRIOIRQ47=XX, wher XX is the value you like most. The setting will be set after the next reboot. If you want to set the value "on the fly", which is very comfortable for tests, than just login on your SBT and make: chrt -f -p XX 367 367 is the PID of spdif process (at least on 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 version) XX is your new value (40 is a standard, you can try between 41 and ?) With TT 2.0 some people settled with someting between 45 and 55. The change is done immediately. Thanks to soundcheck for his wonderfull work, a small paypal donation is on the way :) It seems that streaming&digital music reproduction is a great Pandora box with a lot of surprises... Maybe the next version of SBT will have a dual core ARM CPU, it will probably have a positive impact on the sound quality:) -- praganj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ praganj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
