Upgrading the clocks in the SBT - is it necessary

[SBGK]

Is SBGK getting results? How do you know that? Just 'cause he says so?

He doesn't need a resolving system, why do we then?

To find out if your system is more or less resolving, first try to find out if the differences are in your head or in the sound coming from your speakers....

well some people found that the changes TT3.0 implemented were detrimental to the sound, I think we can agree on that as you were latterly one of it's fiercest opponents. So if you agree that TT3.0 adversely affects the sound then surely you can agree that there are settings which could improve the sound.

So I did some trial and error and investigation about how a linux computer should be set up and found that TT3.0 was trying to achieve the lowest latency possible. I took the view that the lowest latency is not relevant to the Touch (for me) and the TT3.0 settings were introducing noise to the process. My settings therefore concentrate on lower noise and produce a smoother sound, they also work with the EDO mods which people initially identified as harsh sounding. As far as I know RGRO, Magiccarpetride and Guidof use the settings to some good effect.

Totally agreee!!
The settings for that are the settings it comes with from Logitech.

No need to trial and error, just listen without seeing.
That way I had to admit that the smoothest and most appealing sound came from the factory settings.

If both the EDO and TT3.0 sound hars, then go back to factory settings.
That worked for me.

Its just a matter of suck it and see. I wouldn't personally use the EDO applet for hi-res files because I am not interest in that aspect - I would only use the EDO applet to make the most of Async USB in order to bypass the clocks in the SBT and use the clocks in a well implemented Async DAC (such as the MDAC, although I use the Goldenote DAC-7).

I agree.
My DAC is the Rega DAC, and that's why the EDO isn't interesting for me. The USB-input on the Rega is not as good as the S/PDIF.
