My Maggies are very open and natural sounding to begin with, and it gets very hard to make them sound harsh and fatiguing, even with lousy CD players.

IMO, this mod is a very useful mod that allows users to fine-tune their system. At the same time, can this be considered as a non-audiophile modification, similar to using the treble button as it modifies the sound output from the touch than merely reproducing the recording. -- lake_eleven lake_eleven's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48979 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89359 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] New Squeezebox Touch Mod
I got this up and running on my main system this weekend, I set spdif to 59 and was shocked, it was so harsh, and the bass seemed to almost disappear. I thought I had broken the DAC. Then I set it back down to 44 and the bass was back and the harshness went away. I was not prepared for the amount of change this caused. 44 is an interesting number because the jive-alsa thread has a default priority of 45. So by setting spdif to 45 or above you are now putting it at a higher priority than the jive_alsa thread, which is what actually might be causing the sound changes. It might be an interesting test to try running jive_alsa at a higher priority (say 55) and then try running s/pdif in the 50 to 60 range.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 2.0
Whats going on here is that in the Touch are two DACs, one connected to the RCA jacks (the hi-fi DAC) and one connected to the internal speaker which produces the bleeps and blurps ect, (the effects DAC). Normally there is a separate jive-alsa process just for the effects channel, this is a rather big waste of resources and interrupts etc, so TT2.0 disables that separate process, but that means there is no place for the effects noises to go, so they wind up getting routed to the main system along with the music. The problem is that the effects noises are at a lower sample rate so when they get played on the main channel they cause all kinds of crackling etc because they are at a different sample rate than the music. As has been mentioned the solution is just to turn off all effect sounds.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] New Squeezebox Touch Mod
Thanks for the info John, thats an interesting factoid about the jive-alsa priority. I will be playing with those numbers. I have to say, I have one Touch set at 53 and the other set at 4859 does seem a little too much. However its good that these values can be adjusted to accommodate difference systems and listening preferences. -- dynaudiorules 'Dynobot's Audio' (https://sites.google.com/site/computeraudioorg/) dynaudiorules's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12568 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89359 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
