Hi All,
I've installed Neutron and feeling a bit daunted by it, so many settings and toggles with no apparent manual.
I've got my library setup and after listening a little the sound seems a bit odd to me, almost like something is missing or veiled.
Would someone be able to help me with configuring this to it's best? I feel with myriad of settings; all configured correctly this would probably be the best player to use. I only have the free Evaluation version for 5 days and want to be completely satisfied with the quality before I splash out on the full version.
Oh i'm using AM5 with AKG K550 if it matters
Thanks
Paul
**Update**
So i decided to have a dabble with the settings (I really should be working - shhhh!) and now i have this sounding epic - i will be purchasing.
As you may or may not have seen - i've been fighting (with fleeting success as after a while it would somehow get stuck in pure music mode) with Fiio's choice of launcher and the inability to set our own such as Nova. So Drastic action and finally some permanent success - I removed the default Launcher3 and the Fiio Music Application. Set Nova as a System app and renamed it to replace the Fiio Music application. I now permanently have Nova Launcher so can customise the player exactly how i want, i felt the Fiio music application would be a minor loss if i could find a suitable replacement. Neutron is now my main music app and it sounds soo much better than the Fiio App (why have i not tried it sooner!) - so no loss, the UI is a little more fiddly, but it wasn't exactly great on the Fiio App.
So for anyone who may be interested in Neutron and may have been put off by the initial onslaught of settings and toggles, fear not! Here are my settings, and this sounds great!
These can be changed to suit you :-
Clock - Off
Sleep Timer - Off
Wake Up Timer - Off
Output To - Off
Equalizer - Off
DSP Effect - Crossfeed
Crossfeed - Off
Surround Sound - Off
Speaker Time Allignment - On #1
Fader - Off
Playback Mode - Off
Tempo and Pitch - Off
Replay Gain - Off
64 Bit Processing - On
Resampling - Audiophile
Automatic Gain Protection - Off
Audio Hardware - All Sliders at default
Mono - Off
Dither - Off
Phase Inversion - Off
Subsonic Filter - Off
Reverse Stereo - Off
Hardware Gain - On
Audio Focus - On (I think this just stops notifications dimming the sound)
CPU Wake Lock - On
Generic Driver - On
Direct USB Driver - Off
32 Bit Output - Off (Caused crackling when i turned it on?)
DSD over PCM (DoP) - Off
Follow Source Frequency - Not sure about this one - it doesn't seem to do anything, but i have a feeling it should be on?
Channels - Stereo L+R
I know just from my dabbling these may not be the 'ultimate' settings and please feel free to let me know of any other recommendations!
Cheers
Paul
