like ~10dB louder sound because you are not using replaygain anymore ? (dramatic differences are not possible in digital transports unless some of the test objects is broken or any any other mistake is done like repalygain) Ok I've done many of the mods by hand anyway to turn off stuff not used like wifi samba and analog outs , the whole machine gets faster to boot wonderfully fast menu's etc. It needs it's little cpu to be a player , but as a digital transport the way I use it , I've not noticed any changes in the sound quality ? I've never use replay gain or volume adjustment's (it's always pegged at 100% ) anyway as I want my DTS file to come out bitperfect. I do not use it's analog out at all nor do I own stuff to measure with. I do not do ABX tests either. ABX style blindtesting is very bad ;) like when it's used in large scale medicine test and similar, would you like modern medicine or bloodletting leaches and prayers ? Forget that chemotherapy have a leach. I do expects thing to be reasonable, most people have accepted that the laws of physics are universal not local. So the science that gives us food homes TV computers, industry etc, is not suddenly non applicable because it's an audio device ? Why build the LHC in cern when a simple tube amp apparently (if no controlled/scientific testings is used) produces results that counters knows laws of physics ? It's the same volt amps and ohms in your Touch as anything else electrical. I do not normally demand "proof" but if someones claims something very very very unreasonable or unlikely, I really want to know why it's supposed to work ? is that really to much to ask for ? Or see the effect measured ? You can have improved signal quality that you can not hear directly , but it shows if measured it might add up in the end. I'm very much for improving things for free. If it work it changes the electrical signal out of the Touch and can therefore be measured. Given all info you can find in these treads or blogs, human bias and expectations are a far more likely explanation to all this ? That don't stop a more unlikely explanation to be true sometimes , but I can not see that yet here. I have not yet turned of the display or tried the alsa buffer mod, so I migth have missed out of something ?
