ok..update on my ordeal with the new 0.4.5.1. update
good news..it works! but every time i startup the sms200 i do need to restart it once more before he stops restarting squeezelight over and over again (weird!)! only after a second restart (taking off power for a minute) it works as it should be:
so: no stutters, no silences..all works fine musically EXCEPT:
the volume level is still 1/4 lower on my amp! Normally i would listen with volume knob on 21:00 pm o'clock (that's only 1/4 of max volume position, i have sensitive ears), but now for same listening levels i need to put the volume knob up to 12:00-13:00 pm! the max position on my amp is at 18:00 WITH AN AMP THAT PUSHES:
power-output: 5,28W RMS into 50ohm, with both channels driven
total capacity: 650.000uF! (i have a proper review about this custom Headphone amp/dac with pics if you are interested)
At 12:00 my ears would have popped out before the update. (ps i even tried the old basic psu the sms200 go deliverd with.
BEFORE YOU ASK: YES I HAVE PUT THE VOLUME SETTINGS IN SQUEEZELIGHT ON MAX. AND FIXED. just as it was before the update...looks like some kind of a much lowered gain problem...
on a side note: omg..i just read Blue Circle Audio closed per 1 january 2019! another excellent boutique audio shop is gone. what a shame!!!!
so to come back to sms200: in short: if they solve those mentioned two issues i am happy again. am already happy that i can listen to music again (am burning in my new PSu and some other gear non stop now until they reach 100hrs)..
BY THE WAY: ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS VOLUME ISSUE? and anyone has the 4.4 version for me???
and wow..the sms200 really opens up with a good powersupply!!!!its a total different animal now. well done SOTM..well done!!!!
