A note to anyone buying a USB2.0 hub to plug into the back of the Touch. It seems that they are not all created equal. I ordered a cheap one from Ebay last week and when it arrived it turned the clicking I had every second or so with Kernel #2 into a completely unlistenable noise. The music was still there (just) but it was buried under a sea of clicking and hissing. Believing that I may have been sold a USB 1 hub badged as a USB 2 hub I tried it in my PC, though surely enough it registered as USB 2.0 and had the transfer speeds to prove it, so I was a little perplexed at this. Spending a little more on a branded USB 2.0 hub did the trick so now I have kernel #2 running without a hitch.
I've not god TT3.0 running as well and this brings about the same improvements in clarity and definition as it does with the SPDIF output, so a very worthwhile tweak. I noticed that while I couldn't run the buffer any lower than 4000 using kernel #1 (without the USB hub) without getting gaps in the audio, I can set it right the way down to 3200 with kernel #2 without a glitch, even at 24/96. Now to work out whether there is any audible difference between kernel #1 and kernel #2! -- lovejoy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lovejoy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93310 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
