Addendum: Next logical step: add 'Linux Audio Adjustments'. This is probably better. Very resolving. Need to test with aggressive Mercury LP and large choral. Getting too late. Some occasional light tics, which were not there since the USB tweak. Maybe need to remove the network tweaks that aren't needed.
What distortion please?
I get no distortion through mo0de whatsoever using known well recorded sources I am very familiar with, no audible (to me) noise through the speakers when music is not playing & I crank the pre-amp up high, the SQ is absolutely crystal clear on the standard setup using 32bit kernel, default MPD.
I listen to music at low / moderate volumes.
I also listen to music away from moOde using a DAP & quite sensitive IEM's & the only "distortion" is usually as a result of clipping in badly recorded music. This is more obvious using the IEM's, in moOde on a speaker setup listening to the same source file it is less obvious (although I can still hear it) but is a problem with the source music not something a tweak can remedy, I am happy to be corrected though.
I am intrigued what you mean by distortion though.
