Michele85 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hi all. I have a pc for music streaming w daphile player. MoBo is gigabyte Ga-a320m-s2h, processor is Amd ryzen 5 3400g. Ram is 2x8gb kingstone hyperx fury. Could please someone recommend some bios settings in terms of cpu clock frequency, dram voltage, ram timings, etc to achieve the best sound quality? Thanks a lot and BR Link to comment
botrytis Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Gigabyte, like ASUS and others, have utilities to actually tune the APU (in your case) and the memory for the fastest timing. I would use that. I would also make sure your BIOS is the latest out there, which is F52.

Michele85 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 The fact is, with automatic settings for ram timing, voltage, frequency, cpu clock, etc, sound is very harsh and high frequencies are very "digital" and dry Link to comment
botrytis Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 There is more to it than that. DAC, etc. I am using an AMD A10 APU with Daphile and it sounds great with my TEAC DAC but a little tinny with my iFI DAC.

Michele85 Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 I also have teac UD501, but few months ago I bought a Rme adi dac fs which is, for sure, no digital at all and more accurate. Also trying with teac the sound has the same issues. Link to comment
