There is no one best setting for everyone. It's all system dependent, meaning your amp, speakers, your cables, your room, your ears :) Still, I think it'd be hard to imagine any kind of system, other than a very uneven and bright sounding one, where not at least one of the priority changes

IMO, this mod is a very useful mod that allows users to fine-tune their system. At the same time, can this be considered as a non-audiophile modification, similar to using the treble button as it modifies the sound output from the touch than merely reproducing the recording. -- lake_eleven

Whats going on here is that in the Touch are two DACs, one connected to the RCA jacks (the hi-fi DAC) and one connected to the internal speaker which produces the bleeps and blurps ect, (the effects DAC). Normally there is a separate jive-alsa process just for the effects channel, this is a

Thanks for the info John, thats an interesting factoid about the jive-alsa priority. I will be playing with those numbers. I have to say, I have one Touch set at 53 and the other set at 4859 does seem a little too much. However its good that these values can be adjusted to accommodate

I've been playing with jive_alsa as well as spdif, I find I like jive_alsa at 55 and spdif at 51. It, much more lively, more open, far more subtle than the default, without the harshness and keeps the perceived frequency balance intact. Of course everybody is going to like something different.
