Sound signatures?

[pistollero]

For me the archlinux and the runeaudio have less definition and micro detail but have more bass. The others are better the Orion v2 has thin sound but better definition. I use the last on the list.

Can the sound signature settings be changed on the fly? I tried experimenting with different settings from OrionV2 to Umm3ggh1U while playing the same song. If I remember correctly, the first time ever I changed the settings RuneUI told me to reboot, but after that no more.

I am afraid I cannot hear any audible differences (I thought I did at the beginning but I think my imagination played me...) when changing settings on the fly. However, a certain amount of time I also used a 9 year old Dell laptop (docked with USB 2.0 ports on the dock) with a minimal Fedora (server) install and MPD and the sound on the same DAC was somewhat less detailed, more bassy, less clinical than my RPi2. So there are certainly differences in how to feed the DAC.

FYI, using Micromega MyDac thru USB.

Hello.
Sorry for my english. I believe that i am one of them that CAN hear a difference, and that this difference is a big reason to why i use RuneAudio on my Pi.
I really love Orion (More spacious, with a lot of Room information), Orion V2 (very "Tight", a bit over damped for my room,but great in rooms with more lively acoustics), and Uggunau ( On my setup it is a good compromise between orion and V2)
BUT i have a question.. how come it is that i Cant tell any difference between the sound signatures when used on a Rpi2? On my "normal" rpi, it is quite easy to tell the difference, but with the Rpi 2, the signatures does not make any difference at all. Am i the only one that can't get it to work properly?

Kind Regards,

Hi,

I am still curious for an answer on Frost_dk's and my posts. As Frost_dk mentions, I cannot hear any differences on a RPi2. Unfortunately I don't own an older version RPi to compare with. Strangely enough, just for fun I installed MPD on an OSMC installation (based on Raspbian) and I could tell the difference! RuneAudio sounds better!!

Till now, I haven't been able to find a better sounding solution for audio playback than RuneAudio!

Anyone from developers team?

Thanks!

Hi,
I got an answer in another thread, that states the reason why kernel optimizations is not working on rpi2. It is because of the "hardware ID" is not entered in the kernel optimizations file (orion.. something).

I am really looking forward to try to use the rpi2 instead of my original rpi. I have overclocked my rpi, and it is quite snappy when using RuneUi, already, so i am quite (very) satisfied with Runeaudios sound quality

Kind regards,
Rune Frost.
