If you want quiet, capable, and convenient you probably can't do better

Hi Aubuti, do you have one of these units ? They do look appealing but
the graphics capability would be wasted with my setup.
No, I don't. I keep my server well away from the listening room, so a
fanless unit was overkill for me. I bought a barebones Atom-based
system (see link

A month or two ago I bought a Foxcon R10-D4 Atom PC with 2 GB RAM and
installed an existing 1.5TB drive along with the Vortexbox software. The
latter is a free download (Linux based, no GUI interface) that is
designed to run headless. Quite inexpensive, very small and works great.

I tried the recompiled 0.7 and it had the same issue as the old one ie
harsh treble compared to 0.6, this is on a new dac so can't blame the
benchmark dac1 for that.
back to 0.6 and very nice it sounds to.

This is what the code is intended to do - so I want someone to prove

found out how to change the priorities
change the following file

eg I have changed 59 to 95 to match my priority requirements for irq 37
