Hi guys. A guy at DIY-Audio is reporting after a 7.5.4. update poorer performance of the device. Before 7.5.4. he was able to run buffersize 4000, now he's up to 4700. Anybody over here made similar experiences? Cheers -- soundcheck 'soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 2.0' (http://soundcheck

you're a pretty bright fellow. Great. You missed bridging what's being said over to our discussion. It's about the principle how a buffer gets managed. And that this might not be as linear as some people might think it is. -- soundcheck 'soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 2.0' (http://soundcheck

If you apply my Toolbox to the Touch, you can turn the analog output off from the SW side. At least the bits are no longer routed in parallel to all outputs in that case. Cheers -- soundcheck 'soundcheck's Touch Toolbox 2.0' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/01/soundchecks

. My guess is that this share factor has something to do with non-linearities. If I run the buffer at very low levels I achieve a slightly better linearity by getting more exclusive processing time assigned to the stream. And that's what's finally causing less jitter. -- soundcheck
