I redid the whole step again, it definitely sounds better than TT2.0. Excellent improvement with much lesser digital harsh. Tried spdif setting of 51, sounds thin. So went back to 40. Changed buffer to 2 and 5. Sounds harsh in my system instead of being smooth. SO set it back to 4000. TT3.0 is definitely improved SBT over TT2.0. Thanks Klaus.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Rega DAC - Has anyone auditioned one yet?
Ok, testing it and YES: the sound stage is defenitely wider and deeper. Also the bass is deep and is better controlled then without the DAC. Transparency and Details have increased tremedously, however, the downturn is, that it comes with more treble emphasis. Now I understand the words of the moon info flyer: extended hights... I want the broad soundstage and the details; but without an emphasis on hights.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 3.0
Hi All I have had this toolbox on my 'to-do' list for a while however just wanted to check a couple of things, my main 'hifi' listening is through a headphone amp/headphones which is analogue only also I need to run wifi as no ethernet available in that room, does this limit the benefit I will get from the toolbox? However one plus point is that I have 2 touch's and the headphone amp has 2 inputs so I could update one Touch with the mods and then have a direct comparison with a sync'd track, that would be interesting to try!

Get your point about switching vollock lock to on.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 3.0
First impression of SPDIF @ prio 51 doesn't convince us over here. For now I leave TT3.0 as it is. No reason to get nervous about priorities. Of course I'll follow up further constructive ideas. Higher buffers won't work out either. The low-end seems to lose precision. 4000us will be the next TT3.0 build default value. I think many of you can gain a lot more by looking a bit closer on the HW and network side.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 3.0
It's too dangerous to have it on by default. Some people might use the SW volume control only with direct amp access. In this case you'd blow your speakers and potentially ears. It just takes 30s to turn it on. If you have a vollock ssh macro defined it's a no-brainer. -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 3.0 and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 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

No. I'm not using the screen and don't recommend to use it. ;) Perhaps this has something to do with the priority settings. The timing for all other processes will certainly get slightly out of balance. Please define "sometimes"? If you restore with tt -r does everything gets back to normal ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 3.0
Thx for your feedback so far. Just to say it again. It's good to get that feedback, which obviously covers the full "dynamic range". ;) It's interesting to see that some people feel to get used to it first. @magiccarpetride you're a talented pretty enjoyable writer. Thx a lot. ;) For those who do have issues with slightly aggressive sound. Make sure that you got your power supplies, network and server setup under control. You might have realized that you find all that in a different blog article now. You shouldn't miss that one. I recall a post quite some time back of somebody having similar issues. He than followed my networking advise by introducing a hub, cable and PS and got rid of aggressive highs and best sound ever. Next steps: 1. I'll check out the spdif priority thing today. If it turns out to work for me too, you'll find it tomorrow at 1500 zulu in the final 3.0 drop. 2. I don't have any problems to refer to the TT2.0 link. But don't expect me to get the old description back. 3. John. I was looking in the udev thing a long time ago. I could have done it too. For now I did it my way. I do not see much of a difference. I'll address the subject as soon as I start working on the USB interface subject. Everything is almost done - you'll find fragments of it inside TT3.0. I left them in. Much more interesting would be to get the USB thing under control. Logitech doesn't seem to be willing to support us at least a little on that one. 4. I might think of introducing more tunables in the next major release. I won't change anything for now. Experienced users know where to turn the knobs anyhow. The whole thing gets obviously more an more complex, it's just impossible test and retest all hundred million parameter combinations. I appreciate your feedback. If you guys do some more testing tonight, please let us (me) know how how things are going.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 3.0
Hi Klaus, Great thanks for TT 3.0. I upgraded yesterday from 2.0 and priority tweaks. It was to late yesterday to make some extended tests, but i think that TT 3.0 sounds better than 2.0. I have few questions and wishes :) Would it be possible to add a tool for spdif priority ? Something like "tt -sp 51" ? Are they any other (priority ?) values we can try to play with ? Each of us has a different system and a different taste. The TT 2.0 is no more available on your pages, (luckily i have saved it before updates ;)). Would it be possible to put it back, so the people could make easy comparison between 2.0 and 3.0 ?
