Hello Snakeoil crew!

I'm a newcomer to Snakeoil 1.4 and am very impressed with the improved sound quality over my previous tweaked Logitech Squeezebox Touch with linear power supply and EDO applet.

Snakeoil has elevated the sonic goodness of my system - more realistic and liquid sound, greater clarity, less grain. We need to get more people onto this wonderful software! 

My system is as follows:
  • Rpi5 running Ubuntu Pro w/real-time kernel and Snakeoil OS 1.4.0
  • Gieseler Reinigen USB reclocker
  • Gieseler Kompakt II TDA1451A DAC
  • Sansui AU-α907MR (Japan-market amp from the mid 90s - 33kg and 160WPC of copper-plated goodness)
  • Legacy Studio HD speakers
  • Filled SP121 stands
  • DIY Connex BL-ag 23AWG solid-core high purity silver balanced XLR interconnects
  • Canare 4S8 speaker cables
  • Acoustic room treatment panels

Nice set-up :-)
I've a Denon POA-S10 from the same era ( all brushed bronze and gold a la Accuphase) that I use for a sub driver.
