sound degradation

Post in thread 'Really bad resampling of 44.1kHz/16bits files with Fixed Resoultion SPDIF setting' https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/...xed-resoultion-spdif-setting.6234/post-105671


Problems can happen, and I was referring to this old, serious case (which had normally been fixed). I was referring to the "fixed" case, etc. (have you engaged it?) In other cases, if a pregain is heavily engaged, the DRC may be more strongly present, etc., etc.
That was fixed. Are you suggesting it might have been unfixed again? 😉

You need to check all settings that could affect the levels and impact the DRC, etc.
I'm currently using the usb output into an smsl p0100 pro and then into my dac on coax. does this have anything to do with the issues? it was working fine prior to the past 1 or 2 updates.
 
I'm just saying that there may be something to investigate...
but on your side, go through the options in the audio part of your Wiim

i know we can have somes probleme with audio and wiim ...
(The first known case was a strong DRC engaged at -1dB in fixed mode...while it should only be present in unfixed mode...a "forgotten"...)

What are you saying? Are you saying that fixed max volume is -1dB down?
 
No... at that time (10/22), there was a strong dynamic compressor that was engaged at -1dB... to avoid digital clipping with EQ, PEQ, etc. modes. It was also set to fixed mid, which was silly (as a reminder, there's still a more discreet one).

"No bit perfect" ;-))
(had as collateral victim the rme tests of bitperfect which passed by...announced "a bitperfect" despite this presence... which was not so relevant)

At that time? Is that the method they still use to prevent clipping? I wasn't aware of any change in that respect.
