    ??? What does all your computer slots being filled have to do with optimizing use of the TOUCH in your system? I'm confused. Do keep in mind that you are NOT using the soundcard, etc. of your computer. Your computer is connected to your router (preferably via ethernet) and is running Logitech Media Server (LMS) 7.7.2. The TOUCH is connected to your router via either ethernet or WIFI, and any DAC you choose to use is connected to your TOUCH via S/PDIF or Optical (or USB if using triode's EDO app).

    ... say some. Others say it makes no difference. Others still say it makes the Touch sound worse. So it seems YMMV.

    It's pretty weird but in my simple DAC headphone amp and headphones, the improvement is better definition, the sound before is veiled and blured in comparaison. It's obvious with headphones and a good amp.
    It is also logical that if you kill all the polluting thread inside the SBT it will sound better. It is not logical in the contrary to believe leaving all those CPU consuming useless threads that it will sound "better".
    Your opinion may vary.

    Interesting which thread did you find polluting?

    You forgot the fourth option -- others never bothered to give it a try. Which didn't prevent them from offering a strong opinion about TT3.0.

    It can potentially sound "better" with all the useless threads, if less variation in power supply buss noise is better. By keeping a continuous CPU loading, rather than having it vary, this might sound better to you. Depends what those "useless" threads are actually doing too. Also in EDO, as an option, there is a means to keep the CPU loading continuous/stable and thus prevent the CPU from slipping into its low-power mode when lightly loaded, which also might sound better to you.

    Really too many possibilities to guess, best to just try it and write it off if you find no worthwhile diff. Not a lot of rules with this stuff...
