Please take this discussion to the audiophile board - I am happy to discuss there on the thread set up specifically to discuss sound quality and tuning of EDO. I will post a response there. Anyone wishing to follow this conversation can do so here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?94855-Triode-s-USB-24-192-plug-in-sound-quality-impressions
In each of the cases below I fear you have probably been caught out by the placebo effect - I can see no technical reason why settings will have an impact on sound quality and I would like to end this conversation here as it is distracting from conversation of the EDO app and issues users have installing it.
