I guess from all the arguments against tweeking the source pc, all of your answers are 'no you have not tried any tweeking'... or if you have it had made no difference. Many thanks for you time and explanations.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Anyone used this... AudiophileOptimizer
As folks have explained, given the way squeezeboxes work, there is no possibility that these tweaks can affect the sound quality from a SB player. It is not a matter of trial and error or empirical testing or magic. The engineering of the SB player and server makes any effect of the tweaks you reference impossible. So yes, I haven't personally tested. I haven't tested whether the earth orbits the sun lately either. ;-) *Location 1:* VortexBox (2.2) LMS 7.8 Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VBA 3TB (2.2) LMS 7.7.2 Touch Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) LMS 7.8 SqueezePlay *Spares:* VBA 4TB, SB3, Touch (3), Radio (3), CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone4S (iPeng), iPad2 (iPengHD SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Tagging - mp3tag, Spotify garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100440 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Anyone used this... AudiophileOptimizer
Just for grins and giggles, even though I would hope you all know which camp I'm in from other posts regarding whether these type tweaks can have a effect on the music... The test of disconnecting the SB player from the server doesn't really prove that tweaking the server can't affect the sound. The reason is that the data in the buffer of the SB player had already been damaged by the server before it was delivered to the SB player. just like the data in this post was damaged by my PC before I hit the submit button. Hey, how did that j starting the last sentence get changed to lower case?? ;-) It wouldn't have happened if I'd cut down on the 100+ processes running on my PC! 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs Rock Solid with LMS 7.7.3 and WHS 2011 w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100440 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

In this case a dbt would have been the last effort in the unlikely event something happened . A simple measurement would have done it . Let's not loose focus on the fact that this kind of app can't affect what stored in the player buffer off a squeezebox . And no the data is not homeopathic it can't remember it's previus treatment ;) But for more grins and giggles , people are trying to tweak everything with minimum buffers and gets drop outs ? :P ( see our software player treads, or the TT treads ) this is not the same buffer admittedly . This actually gives another mechanism where tweaking can work , break it ! If it's sounds different you declare that better . But this would not benthencase here innthe context of using a squeezebox .
