Yepseems as if Klaus has hit the sweet spot with both mcr's and my systems. After two days and many hours of listening, mcr ain't just whistlin' Dixie---at least with my combo of electronics. Pretty much everything mcr said mirrors my experience. Wide, deep soundstage, smooth, rich, and

Sorry for being dense, can someone explain to me exactly what line(s) in the code in which file can/need to be changed here? And if I used V 3.0 to enable digital out only is there any reason to alter this priority at all? -- firedog GIK Acoustics Room Treatments. Tranquil PC fanless server

Hi Klaus, Great thanks for TT 3.0. I upgraded yesterday from 2.0 and priority tweaks. It was to late yesterday to make some extended tests, but i think that TT 3.0 sounds better than 2.0. I have few questions and wishes :) Would it be possible to add a tool for spdif priority ? Something

Klaus- I'm using the full update except: screen is on. Digital out only. I actually use the SBT screen as touch screen controller. Since I installed 3.0, I've noticed the screen is a little jumpy to the touch - over responds to slight touches sometimes. I saw one other user over at the

Thx for your feedback so far. Just to say it again. It's good to get that feedback, which obviously covers the full dynamic range. ;) It's interesting to see that some people feel to get used to it first. @magiccarpetride you're a talented pretty enjoyable writer. Thx a lot. ;) For those

It's too dangerous to have it on by default. Some people might use the SW volume control only with direct amp access. In this case you'd blow your speakers and potentially ears. It just takes 30s to turn it on. If you have a vollock ssh macro defined it's a no-brainer. -- soundcheck :::

First impression of SPDIF @ prio 51 doesn't convince us over here. For now I leave TT3.0 as it is. No reason to get nervous about priorities. Of course I'll follow up further constructive ideas. Higher buffers won't work out either. The low-end seems to lose precision. 4000us will be the
