I did optimisations as described (core isolation, lower frequencies and power etc). I used Rune settings, meaning reducing power for SDRAM (not increasing).
Just to confirm what I heard yesterday and read here now:
1. Yes, there's definite improvement in imaging: stage became very clear, focused and stable now, that's amazing.
2. Yes, harsh on high frequencies reduced. It is almost good! This harsh was the most annoying with MPD.
With the struggle between MOC Player, MacOS (Audirvana) and MoOde (MPD) I rather choose last one now. MOC has blurred stage and smooth frequencies at highs, it is sonically attractive... but I can live with MPD. Audirvana now is in the middle between two.
P.S.
I have an external USB-Dac (Amanero USB module on its own separate power + PCM58 multibit, non-oversampling mode). Followed by 2A3-amp and open baffles (3 ways speaker system).
