![]() ![]() Only idea, which i have, is some kind of stream irregurality. ![]() I have no idea, why so called bit perfect players and LMS servers are delivering so different results, but for my ears there is no doubt, that bit perfect can sound different. ![]() Than i took Daphile instead of SBT and there is one great improvement. All are bit perfect, no doubts.Īll LMS where configured identically, for each os was one ssd (Samsung 840Pro 256). Music is in waves on external 4TB USB 3.0.įor my ears the best sounding os for LMS is W8 64. On the same notebook (Nice new samsung i5) using 6 different ssds i installed the naked os, than needed drivers, updates and the last version of nightly LMS 7.8. I can borrow all possible software&hardware from my work to play with it. Still bit perfect and again better sound.įew weeks ago i tested different OS with LMS. Than Teddy ps and different software tweaks. Than i changed my Classic for SBT, also bit perefct, agaiin better sound. LMS running on W7 was delivering the best sound quality. Than i changed Qnap for one nice notebook with Windows 7 (after tests with XP and Ubuntu on the same machine). Some years ago i uses Squezebox classic, some people tested it on diyaudio and according to them Squeezebox Classic is bit perfect (at 100% Volume).Īt that time i had Qnap NAS and Sq. I don't know the reason, why every os is delivering different sound. For many years wonderfull DPA DX32, than one DAC with Jensen transformers instead of active analogue outputs, now since (two?) years Buffalo, since one year connected with USB I2S WaveIO. Since many years i am using external DAcs. Now I'm the one who is guilty of straying from the thread subject. Of course, I remain curious about the various projects that surface in Linuxland. So, at least on this PC, hooked up my to external DAC and power amp/speakers there doesn't seem to be much incentive to worry about "optimizations". I can detect no difference in audio SQ between this mode of working and when using the full KDE desktop. Switch the monitor off and you're basically working in a lightweight headless mode as would Daphile. This, for example, compares favourably to VoyageMPD which is targeted at embedded systems and runs with about 30 processes In this mode the memory footprint is still relatively high at circa 300MB because of all the modules that are still loaded from using the full KDE desktop. As it still uses the traditional, but tweaked, sysinit system you can su to root and init 3 to kill the desktop which leaves me with about 34 processes running including LMS & squeezelite with very low CPU usage. ![]() It uses pure ALSA, no pusle audio installed. My own main Linux install is Siduction KDE 64bit which is based on debian unstable. I hadn't realised it was a closed project at that stage as it appeared on and later was withdrawn. Haven't the strong opinions come from those who have listened to their system running Daphile and not from those who haven't? Anyway, the OP of this thread called it DAPHILE - SBT & LMS Replacementīut it's not a replacement for LMS so perhaps that should be re-worded, and there's also the question of whether installing Daphile on your 'puter turns into a SBT replacement with essentially the same functionality as a SBT, or does it create something different, perhaps even more useful.įor the record, I did install an early version of Daphile in VirtualBox to get some idea of what it offered. ![]()
