System optimizations?

[Mullet]

Hi Skip, though I'm not a believer in audio quality benefits from the CRAAP™ settings (and neither is Archimago), I am interested in the power reductions. Do you find any drop in responsiveness when browsing the library while using the underclocking settings?

Thanks,
Richard

I didn't read Archimago's blog post as not being a believer in CRAAP. I think he was being a little hyperbolic in terms of what a typical audiophile believes though. Still it seemed like he was suggesting that there was a difference when he used those settings.

To be clear, I've just applied his settings and I can't confirm I hear much of a difference. It's hard to A/B something like this being that you'd have to restart the Pi after changing settings. Audio memory is so short. That being said, it sounds like his rationale in his settings changes is sound. Are his measurements made pre or post settings changes? I didn't pick up that detail in my reading.
