2023 - November - Christian T.
Many thanks to Christian for hosting this months GTG.
I was busy with life so was unable to attend.
Reports are about 10 people went along and had a good time.
They spent the day chomping all sorts of goodies including a couple of pizza's and cheesecake :)
So without more idle chit chat........
Changes since the last QAC meeting:
Raspberry Pi hardware upgraded to Pi 4 8GB RAM which results in a much wider and more detailed soundstage.
Upsampling now all files on the fly to 24 bit on the Pi to meet the DAC highest sample rate which creates additional transparency.
