			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
Finally, I turn to writing after much reading on these forums. <br />
In the renovation of the house, I decided to equip four piece with multiroom systeù. <br />
<br />
At that moment I was looking for the perfect solution with a good price/quality ratio. After some research it turned out that the combo Squeezebox / Homeseer was optimal. <br />
I then found the SRI acoustic amplifier that include in addition to a squeezebox duet  a 2x80Wrms amp which power is controlled. <br />
<br />
You can get more information here: <a href="https://www.ripcaster.co.uk/node/427" target="_blank"> SRI amplifier</a><br />
<br />
I'm still in the works but I make some tests before installation to ensure the quality of the installation. <br />
<br />
It became a little problem, the squeezebox duet is directly connected to the amplifier in the SRI (see photo), there is no equalization of the source and the result is really flat. <br />
<br />
I then searched for a solution to overcome the problem and I discovered Inguz EQ plugin, after many hours of testing, installation, uninstallation, ... I never managed to make it work, even after all my research. I tried to contact the creator of the plugin but I haven't received any reply. (For those who want, I attached the log files) <br />
<br />
I haven't found any other software solution, so the second solution is hardware and consists of insert an equalizer between the output of squeezebox duet and the amp input. However this requires several changes to the hardware and the purchase of additional material, I have to be on it have no other solution.<br />
<br />
I therefore turn to you audiophiles of the forums, has anyone a track before I modify the entrails of the beast?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help guys ;)</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Well, actually more an observation about people...<br />
<br />
For several years, the DAC1 was generally regarded as some kind of gold standard for accuracy in DACs. For sure, some people didn't care for its sonic character (while others loved it), but as far as I recall nobody ever questioned its engineering.<br />
<br />
And now all of a sudden a minor flaw (which probably has little if any relevance to its performance when listening to normal music programme) has been revealed, and it seems to me that people who were previously ecstatic about how wonderful it was have consigned it to the scrap heap.<br />
<br />
I look forward to shedloads of DAC1s on eBay at knockdown prices.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Not that i am interested in this to much but reading about this &quot;headroom&quot; it must be something en vogue since the DAC2 arrived.<br />
<br />
My brainfart makes only sense if you don´t already use your player with digital volume control or you are afraid about normal digital volume control.<br />
<br />
My idea is to pad 16bit files wit zeroes to 24bit and shift the music content from the upper bits '1-&gt;16' to bits '2-&gt;17'<br />
This gives you full 6dB headroom and leaves all audio content intact (only for 16bit stuff)<br />
<br />
There you go, 16bit to 24bit, 1 bit softer:<br />
<br />
sox input.wav -b 24 output.wav gain -6.020599913<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course you can reverse everything with a positive value and make it exactly 1 bit louder.<br />
<br />
Me knows no math but 1 bit in dB equals:<br />
<br />
20 x log10(2) = 6.020599913<br />
<br />
From -6.0205999 on SoX starts to shift the music around bit by bit! One digit less and it calculates new values with no chance to reverse it back to original.<br />
<br />
For 24bit files you will loose the lowest bit, but this shouldn´t matter at all.<br />
<br />
You freaks may implement it over config.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
I wonder about the SoX Team meanwhile. This becomes really impressive!!<br />
<br />
I also wonder if that is old news or my reasoning is completely wrong but don´t tell me playing with such silly things is not healthy. I know that...<br />
Any double-check or correction is welcome<br />
<br />
<br />
P.S. If you have a silent recording that doesn´t need all bits, means its peak level is at least 6.03 below maximum, this may be a nice way to make it louder.</div>

I've already said it in some other thread on here: it seems as though it's lacking in dynamics. I have for instance a bootleg of Richard Thompson at Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival, which is really amazing. At the store, Touch connected through SPDIF, playing at (subjectively, not measured) the same level, I could really feel each time he hits the strings on his guitar. Same hardware, approximately the same listening distance at home, I can't. It's better when I connect the Touch through analog though ...</div>
