I can subtly focus shift to follow any instrument or vocals.īecause of my listening habit - the turntable is not a good fit. When listening to complex folk metal such as Windfaerer's latest album, no instrument gets lost in the mix. Individual notes arrive from a black background and transients appropriately fade. I'll describe why I made the choices I did, these setting balance lag during startup of a playlist with impact, space, timbre, and weight. Much has been written on other forums about the choice of up-sampler algorithm and shaper. Poly-sinc-guass-long, ASDM7, SDM output, DSD128 Then I set to tuning the filter and shaper to something that would work with my music library that includes everything from fifteen year old MP3 rips (VBR) to AIFF 24/192.Īfter much trial and error, here is where I landed: The web interface makes obtaining and upgrading HQPlayer embedded an easy affair. Set up of the Sonictransporter was quick and easy. So when I found a used Sonictransporter, I jumped at the chance. I had heard from a number of sources that DSD upsampling offered that last bit of sonic enhancement and control. If I wasn't trying to wring the last bit of control and quality from my set up, I would have gladly stoped there. The Pi2AES had more than enough power to render PCM audio at 192K with the Sync-Mx filter. These preferences inform the choices I made. I personally favor timbre, space, and a dark slightly warm sound. I continue to output to a Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE feeding either a Pete MIllet Design Fet-A Solid State or Ampsandsound Kenzie Ovation headphone amp. ![]() I migrated from a Pi2AES HQPlayer Embedded built on a Raspberry Pi4 to a Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter i5. ![]()
