Erik, I did my first streaming test, Nick Drake ‘Pink Moon’ and aside from hearing data transfer noise and a slightly unsteady stream, it sounded fine. If I have an issue at all, it’s that at times the sound lacks fullness but the tone and balance are fine so I’m not certain that the Loki will matter. I’m anxious to see whether or not I’ll hear an improvement with the linear power supply.
Equalizer
Hi All,
So my Bryson Pi came in and I’ve played it now for a couple of days. I must say that in many ways, I find it to be better than I expected. The bass may be a little light for my taste and I was wondering if anyone might know of a way to boost the lower frequencies. The obvious choice, I’m guessing, would be an equalizer but that would mean some sort of eq software application and I don’t know if that would be compatible. My stereo is; the Pi running via Wireworld Platinum Starlight USB to an ISO Regen with LPS 1 linear power supply to an Ayer QB 9 Twenty DAC. I’m using Hi Diamond Interconnects to an ASR Emitter II Exclusive amplifier and Hi Diamond speaker cables to Quad 2905 ESL’s. I have a passive PS Audio line conditioner and various Akiko Audio Tuning sticks throughout. I will be adding my TeraDak linear power supply to the Pi soon. I still need to listen to my classical collection to interpret the cellos and double basses in order to get a clearer picture overall but with popular music, if I could get the slightest bit more low end, I’d be even happier! Any suggestions?Thanks!

Great! :) What do you mean "data transfer noise" because I don't hear any. Also, I do recommend going wired instead of wireless. If you must go wireless, use an app like Wifi Analyzer to find the least congested channels. I have one for my PC, and my Android phones, same ideas are out there for OS X and iPhone. |
goofyfoot ... aside from hearing data transfer noise and a slightly unsteady stream ...What is "data transfer noise?" What do you mean by "unsteady stream?" If you have dropouts, that's not likely to be caused by the streamer, but rather the quality of your Internet service itself. |
