bobbmd Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I just purchased A+2.5 I do not have any dsd recordings or dsd DAC-(gungnir pre-multibit) The SQ for A+ is excellent but i have no idea what is the 'optimal' settings for A+ie Audio 'filters','volume'&'units' can anyone help/suggest? especially sample rate conversion advanced parameters and what do i choose under forced upsampling and what do i choose or not choose under signal polarity I think the ability to have both TIDAL and Qobuz at my finger tips is great(in A+) but i have to turn the volume way up on my avr even with the 'dither' volume control way up on A+ why is this?i don't have to do this on ROON what is/are the best choices under audio volume control/dithering etc I tried using audio controls effects and everything 'dulled' and i had to play with all those different graphs so I didn't use them-who has the time and patience to do that? are there optimal 'general' settings if I do use them? to me it is much too tedious I have also found that 'separation' in A+ is less than good than on ROON there seem to more sound from my left speaker than right( i have them toed in and bottoms elevated and if I sit in center the sound comes from all around and from behind me with ROON not so with A+ I have also tried the trial for HQPlayer but am totally confused by all the different setting is it worth the $ if i cannot do dsd or will it improve SQ separation etc if i just listen to HiRes downloads plus TIDAL and Qobuz-it sounded much better than ROON alone when streaming TIDAL or my 29000 iTunes library I just want the best SQ/separation/clarity as easily as possible and just do not have the time to 'play' with all these different choices on A+ and HQplayer All three are much better and less 'buggy' than Amarra sQ+/PureMusic Please do not accuse me of being 'lazy'/not being adventurous I just don't have the time- am a full time country 'doc' and full time state prison 'doc' caring for the oldest sickest inmates in a hospital/nursing home setting and have 2 school districts and a federal police force i care for and I just want the best SQ least fatiguing music when I have to spend my entire weekends putting office visits in my electronic medical records!
