However, in my own processing pipeline, I'm using it to apply PEQ for both Speaker and Room Correction EQ, and then I'm doing some Volume Leveling and Loudness Compensation. I'll occasionally add some Stereo Widening to pipeline as well. Finally, I have it transcoding the results of the processing to 24/48 *.flac for bandwidth savings when streaming via WiFi. Tonal accuracy is my goal with this, and these are some of the same tools that my sound engineering friends use on a daily basis. I got the InguzEQ plug-in installed and configured properly, by the way. So now, I've got server-side DSP and no need to purchase additional hardware for the job. I've stress tested my server, which is a Dell Optiplex 990 MT (i7 2600) that I paid ~90USD for 7 years ago, by having it stream to 6 network players simultaneously -- with all of the DSP I mentioned above running uniquely and independently for each player. The server's CPU never reached over 8% utilization while doing so and the sound was a high fidelity as anyone could ask for. All the best...

Nice to have a list of software and your thoughts, cheers :-) Just checking DSP is that similar to PEQ ? I was never sold on room correction (dsp? peq?) as thought it was too much giggerypokery with the signal, wanted things simple 'pure' and straight forward, until I heard the difference :-o I now have a couple of XTA DP200's as experimental room correction thingies which I am impressed with! although I have had to learn stuff to get the sound how I like it, which is cool. So frequencies can be boosted or reduced dependent on room and ones hearing, as far as I can tell there is not much trade off in sound degradation with the XTA gear in the chain, its a plus to cut frequencies I don't like and add a little more of the ones I do, keeping the character of amps and speakers :-) Just a thought if your still looking for DSP adjustments... Yeah I am a little out of date with gear so may be way off :-o :-) Deaf Cat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=515 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116870 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] I'm a LMS convert...
After a half a decade of auditioning a number of media server packages, Logitech Media Server has made me into a convert. In the past, I've auditioned Roon (over priced for what it offers), JRiver (the remote control apps are lacking, and the CEO's attitude towards customers is confrontational, but its DSP-Over-DLNA facility is very good), BubbleUPnP Server (adequate but without DSP), Plex (I just didn't like the GUI/UX), MusicBee (I still use it as a local player, but it's UPnP-DLNA server plug-in is buggy), and Emby (a beautiful and pleasant GUI/UX, but no DSP). I settled on Emby with a couple of other applications (AutoEQ, Macast and Desktop Audio Streamer) in order to apply DSP to Google Cast and DLNA streams. It worked fine, and the UX was pleasant, but having to run three other applications along side it just didn't set well with me; as a software engineer and data scientist, efficiency and optimization are big deals to me. Although I'd seen mentions of LMS I just never got around to auditioning it. I think the current open source nature of the project put me off as I've not had good experiences with such in the past. Well, I can now say that I shouldn't have let that put me off. I've been auditioning LMS over the past two weeks and have found it to be an impressive piece of software. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised, though, given its commercial origins. Well done to all the developers involved. You've made me another satisfied convert... 38803 +---+ |Filename: tia4515462821726785780.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38803| +---+ artatgray's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=73037 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116870 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
