Under/Over clocking as well as Under/Over voltage settings are nothing new to computer audio for ARM as well as x86 computers. Archimago struck a good balance with the RPi so they were used with this…however more extreme settings can also give good results.
Hi Dynobot.
your improvement guide’s sounds great, but may seemed not really trustworthy to me because there are no specific information to the RPI.
is the guide for all RPI’s the same? (2,3, zero, zero w, …)
If they are really improvements, why not put them into the next build?
greetings, judydudi
hi dynabot,
are these setting your own, already checked by you? So, do you feel a difference?
Are the settings taken from the web, so a source link would be fine.
thank you. judydudi
Are you sure it’s /boot/cmdline.txt that you want to edit, and not /boot/config.txt ?
These instructions look a lot like the ones given by Archimago. He, at least, offers his rationale for each of the settings he suggests modifying. “Improve Rpi hardware performance” isn’t meaningful, unless you spell out what the word “improve” means.
The whole point of Archimago’s modifications is (contra the original poster’s characterization) to decrease the “performance” of the Rpi (thereby decreasing the power consumption and — possibly — the noise). If you’re using the BruteFIR plugin, or processing DSD audio (or anything else processor-intensive), decreasing the performance of the Rpi is the last thing you’d want to do.
