RE: Tuning Linux/MPD/Alsa for best sound on ALIX processor

It is very hard to say. I'll have to arrange some kind of A/B test. I am getting very good sound. Between the new OS and the buffer/period settings its too soon to know if I have simply imagined it. I certainly had very noticable effects in windows by reducing polling frequency, so I may well be predisposed to imagine an improvement here. It would not be the first time.
Strangely I receive no error setting to 100. After issuing modprobe, I cycled MPD. Sounds like I should have power cycled the DAC??
Thanks for the tip. I found your observations on this topic at diyaudio informative:

Do you have other references I should read?
