Agree with HumanMedia. Any value above 44 is fatiguing within 5 mins of listening. but it does give more spatiality. Experimenting values between 41 and 44, may be will set it back to 40. Thanks dynaudiorules for this very interesting mod. -- lake_eleven

^ So you only use the stock wall-wart? At this point all I can say is it isn't terrible by any means. However, never found anything audio-wise that didn't benefit from getting rid of the wall-wart. Even analog wall-warts, even if they're just a transformer i.e. use a bigger one. Switching

Hi dynaudiorules, If I set the spdif value to 40, will I still get the benefits of other thread priority changes?. Any value other than 40 seem to sound bright in my already bright system (Touch(spdif)-Anthem pre-Parasound amp-Paradigm) -- lake_eleven
