Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 3.0

2012-01-01 Thread SBGK

right, my last modification post, I have found the solution, for me at
least.

It is SBT out of the box settings with buffer at default of 2 ie tt
-b 2, now everything sounds correct. of course, this is how it was
designed to be used. so with TT3.0 the sound is cleaned up and we have
the original balance, rhythm and timing. previously i had been using
buffer of 3200, but this threw it out of balance.

so, I have beeen chasing my tail round in circles, but there you go.

can SBT be changed to sound better by changing priorities ? i am not
sure because something always suffers, as one thing is tweaked
something else goes out of balance.

I am referencing a clocked Linn Karik 3 and happy that SBT is
comparable if not better.

talk about a thread killer

Don't take this as gospel, but I have a hazy recollection that this
used to be possible but the facility was removed a long time ago in
order to make room in the limited firmware memory for some other
feature (possibly the digital loopback?). So if you're prepared to run
a really old firmware, it may be possible. Does anyone else remember
this change, or is my memory failing me?

I believe that it's a fair thing to say that what these last many pages
in the thread has been about is the (small?) portion of the TT3.0 that
has to to with the priority setting in the tt-file in /usr/bin.
The values in this quote are replacing the original values like this.
That is the only change, and you also changed now the buffer size.

How much this affects the overall sound from the SBT differs a lot from
person to person. From 'praise the lord' to 'huh?' and opinions that are
totally different about one particular setting.
When the same priority setting can be described as dark and mellow by
some and light and harsh by others, it's a good time to think about how
much of this is in our heads.

And tomorrow we will have yet another final setting from SBGK. ;)
Instead of trying out all these fina lsetting or waiting for the final
final setting, I'm waiting for the TT4.0 from soundcheck. :)

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Please help: MF Trivista DAC just died - Repair or Replace?

2012-01-01 Thread sa3999

Hello all and happy  prosperous new year wishes to everyone!

My first post here so please be gentle...although I do lurk a lot!

My new year hasn't got off to a brilliant start. My beloved Musical
Fidelity Trivista DAC died this morning after 9 yrs of rock solid
service with the left channel no longer outputting a signal. It sounded
superb last night after I had been messing with my SB Touch and
Soundcheck's TT3.0 tools.

As I see it I have three options:

1. Get the Trivista DAC repaired by MF
2. Use MF's Fine-tuning service to get the DAC repaired as well as
overhauled and some improvements made (cost 600GBP). 
3. Replace the DAC altogether with something new and better(?)

I would be really grateful for advice from you all on these options -
especially option 2 (if anyone has experience of it).

I have been very happy with the Trivista DAC and the only other DAC I
seriously considered in the past 9 years has been the Naim DAC. But
after a home trial I decided that the Naim DAC wasn't better - just
different and that the Trivista gave a more expansive  lush sound.

In terms of a budget for a new DAC - I'm flexible and able to stretch
to around 3,000GBP but for this sort of money I'd hope to get a sound
that was substantially better than what the MF Trivista DAC offered -
is that possible? I am also willing to buy second-hand (in fact, that
is my preferred acquisition route). What DAC's do people suggest I
try?

Many thanks in advance and now back to listening to the analogue
outputs of the SBT - oh the suffering...!

Rgds



PS: The rest of the system is as follows:
-LMS running on a QNAP server
-SB Touch with wired ethernet and running TT3.0
-Music First Passive Pre-amplifier
-Musical Fidelity A308CR Power Amplifier
-KEF Reference 205 speakers
-PS Audio Power Plant powering all the devices except the Power amp

2012-01-01 Thread Jacky

First of all; all the Best for the New Year 2012.

Exactly NoRoDa - I also already forecast that; 
Everyone of us has another plant chain, other source, amplifier and
loudspeakers in its acoustic area (very important subject) and reacts
differently also depending upon kind of the music on the priorities
mentioned. 

After some reports of others in this forum, my current concern is the
im-balance in the left channel of the trebele range with light tendency
to an exaggeration with this TT3 suggested low adjusted buffer between
3400 - 4000. 

Possibly nevertheless the default of 2 could help to obtain a good
equal course of the channels-- will thereby in the next meet to play
and report.

it is in my head because thats where I process sound, but the
differences are real.

the changes in the last week were all related to trying to lift the
sound of the SBT default settings. I have finally done that by going
back to the default buffer size.

I am now saying that changing SBT priorities does not work from a
musical perspective. it might sound better, but is it music ?

I don't expect TT4.0 is going to help my system any, maybe some hints
on how to optimise the server. 

hope you continue to find improvements, I am finished.

Actually, as I mentioned in a prior post, I too found the bass somewhat
heavy upon first trying both TT3.0 and your settings. However, in my
system all I had to do was to back down a bit on my sub's volume (the
crossover is already at its minimum of 30Hz) and everything was fine.

The question then becomes: Is the heavier bass an artifact of the
priority settings (or buffer size) or is it a function of a system with
a tendency to enhance bass? Of course, in practical terms all that
matters is that one finds a balance that seems right.

no really. I am enjoying listening to led zep just now and it sounds v
good.

I am beginning to think that tweaking the SBT is a bit like adjusting
the weight on a record player needle, you can have light and airy or
bass heavy, but to get a better overall sound then you need to go
elsewhere and spend some money. 

Also it seems to me that the designers designed the sound to be optimal
at the default priorities and buffer size, Soundcheck has done well to
remove things that affect the sound eg WLAN, IR etc, but I don't think
the overall musical sound has been improved by tweaking the priorities
and buffers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Please help: MF Trivista DAC just died - Repair or Replace?

2012-01-01 Thread guidof

In principle, and especially if you are ready to spend up to £3000, I
would recommend going the new DAC route over refurbishing a 9-year old
unit. Which one is, of course, a function of your musical tastes as
well as your other equipment.

Good hunting! (Not an entirely bad way to start the new year).

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Please help: MF Trivista DAC just died - Repair or Replace?

2012-01-01 Thread bimboy

Hello,
I also have a Trivista DAC which I have been happily using for the last
6 years. I have recently tried a few more modern DACS, including Naim,
and have not found one that is the equal of my Trivista. Although
several years old, the DAC used in the Trivista is a 24 bit 96/192KHz
which is able to handle any modern Hi-res file. My recommendation would
be to have your Trivista repaired. But if you have a friendly dealer
near to you, why not try out some alternative DAC's for yourself.
Good luck!
p.s.
I have come across an alternative repair service to that offered by
MF(I have no affiliation or connection and no experience of using
them!) : http://www.jsaudiorepairs.co.uk.

 Actually, as I mentioned in a prior post, I too found the bass somewhat
 heavy upon first trying both TT3.0 and your settings. However, in my
 system all I had to do was to back down a bit on my sub's volume (the
 crossover is already at its minimum of 30Hz) and everything was fine.
 
 The question then becomes: Is the heavier bass an artifact of the
 priority settings (or buffer size) or is it a function of a system with
 a tendency to enhance bass? Of course, in practical terms all that
 matters is that one finds a balance that seems right.

SBGK:

I think that with your latest settings you're on to something.

I tried the SBT priorities + TT3.0 + Buffer 2 and my first
impression is that the music is presented more naturally; the flow is
more effortless; there is greater detail, but without losing the
music's gestalt and drive.

I have a rather mediocre live recording of the Guarneri's excellent
performances of Mozart's viola quintets, which is a test case both for
tonal balance (the viola needs to be distinguished easily within the
mix) and for soundstage (placement of mikes for public performance
clearly having a deleterious effect). These latest settings seem to
have achieved the most believable presentation of these pieces I've
heard so far in my system.

So buffer size really seems to make a difference . . .

Will listen more and report further, but in the meantime thanks again
for your dogged pursuit of perfection!

there is no logic to why 2 works, it certainly isn't because it is
smooth in the way that 4000 is smoother than 3200. The only thing I can
think of is this is the setting that SBT was designed for, I have tried
16384 after reading a previous post by Soundcheck and the sound is not
good. 2 just works with the default settings and TT3.0 - very nice,
for me anyway.

sounds encouraging, must suit your system

I am no longer looking at getting anything better out of the SBT, have
moved on to optimising the output level from the dac to minimise the
effect of any noise. dac manual says sound and noise are the 2 ouputs
from the dac, noise is fixed so to minimise the effect the idea is to
drive a higher line output ie use attenuation, i think I can do this in
the preamp as the input levels can be adjusted. new to me, probably old
hat to you guys.

The buffer has been at 3400 since TT 2.0, because it sounds better
there.  You know it does, but you tune your system to your taste and
listening level by increasing it, only to once again move away from
true 'improved sound'.  Why not try moving your speakers out away from
the wall a few more inches if you need to reduce the bass?

where does it say to follow my settings ? if 3400 works for you then
good.

if you are going to comment then it should be from a point of
knowledge, which would mean at least giving them a listen to, you would
then have to explain why you didn't like the balanced, detailed,
engrossing sound.

I don't have to tune my system for any other source, so the probability
is the issue lay with SBT and TT3.0 and so it proved.

 keep up the blah, blah, blah, pretty entertaining, but to be taken with

No need to be upset with someone who is being so generous to share his
findings with us. Chill out, man.

I've spent some time today doing comparative listening. I was comparing
3 profiles offered by SBGK:

1. The profile from Dec 27 2011
2. The profile from yesterday (Dec 31 2011)
3. Today's profile (Jan 1, 2012)

Here are my findings:

I was in love for a few days with profile #1 (ever since Dec 27, that
is). After trying profile #2 (yesterday's profile) I found it exciting
at first, but after prolonged listening started experiencing surprising
levels of listening fatigue. Switched back to profile #1, and everything
got restored back to its previous magic.

Then I switched to profile #3 (today's profile). The sound got exciting
again, but without the adverse effects of fatiguing. I liked it a lot,
but wanted to compare it with profile #1 (because by this time I've
completely ruled out yesterday's profile). Much to my surprise,
realized that profile #1 sounds very, very muffled compared to profile
#3!

I'm staying with profile #3 for now. I haven't experienced fatiguing
with it, although it appears much brighter than profile #1.

Profile #2 brought considerable and almost unpleasant hardening of the
sound, especially in the higher frequencies. Music played though that
setting felt like watching a beautiful women under a super bright
reflector light -- the contours were very sharp and harshly delineated,
to the point of burning one's retina. Not a good long term experience.

I'm hoping that today's profile (#3) will be a keeper. It sounds very
present, very detailed, my only fear is that it may prove fatiguing in
the long run. Anyone has any comments on the validity of this profile
when it comes to longer listening sessions? I'm leaning more toward the
overall musicality of the sound, even if it's at the expense of precise
clinical details. Profile #1 did bring some magic in the area of
musicality, and I thought that it was a definite keeper, but now I
cannot realistically stay with it, seeing how muffled and fuzzy it
sounds when compared to profile #3. Today's profile (#3) does indeed
present so many fine details carved in the space very nicely (not as
etched as profile #2).

Overall, it is very surprising to me the hear such exaggerated
differences in the sound quality resulting from such apparent minor
tweaking of some low level software parameters. This may be dependent
upon the overall level of resolution of one's audio system. I would say
that if your system's total cost is around $10,000 and upwards, and if
you can't hear any differences between these 3 profiles I've mentioned
above, you should definitely sell that system and get some 'turn key'
home entertainment audio kit at Best Buy.
