A die-hard audiophile minority should likely use audio-optimized Android kernels modded by some kernel modders."An interesting example is the HRT music streamer II, it IS asynchronous USB, but it is still very sensitive to what happens in the computer. On the SAME COMPUTER I can make simple changes to OS scheduling parameters and get a huge difference in the sound. At one end of the scale it’s dull, lifeless, no depth at all, at the other end of the scale it is wonderfully alive, dynamic, huge depth etc. And all this by just changing a few numbers, NO change in hardware at all." http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.pl?forum=pcaudio&n=101397For example, an underclocked kernel should be better than a normal kernel to provide a lesser jittered digital audio stream to a USB DAC, because the USB transmission clock is less polluted by electric and electromagnetic interferences generated by different processors.
You can track it down if you want the details . . .
I got excited when I read this part, it sounds like it would be possible to tweak a few settings (I assume with sysctl) in order to gain sound quality.Sadly, though, I found this:Code: [Select]You can track it down if you want the details . . . And I miserably fail to "track it down". Why is it that people are not willing to provide useful links in their posts, but send forum members away with "If you really really want to, you find it somewhere"
