Klaus,
I have run the toolbox and it is working very good!
No probs here.
The tt -d and the tt -e are very usefull for a comparison, my girlfriends comment: "the first one is flatter" is a great compliment ("the first one" was the original touch).
The sound improvement is very good and actually quite remarkable concidering they are software mods
The connection is with cable and i have a SB booster power supply.
Thank you very much!!

wlan card not shutting down. Is there a switch I should be applying to
tt -wlan?
I may have to return to older version that I'm sure works.
tt -wlan?

it appears the command is tt --wlan notice that there are 2 dashes
at least that is how it worked for me. Let me know if it works for you.

when the ttstat says "modification WLAN....disabled" does that mean that wlan is actually disabled OR that the mod is disabled and therefore WLAN is enabled
😀

Everthing works now and sound quality is terrific. Thanks, Klaus for all your work.
My favorite thing is the almost laid back nature. The playback never calls attention to itself. You realize after some time that you've been listening intently and time has melted away.

Hi All:
I've been following this thread in the hope that one day I will be able to figure out how to do the SW mods for the SBT. Would anyone have the patience to explain how to do these mods from step one for a Mac user? I have downloaded Fugu and can open it, but have no idea how use it. I also notice that some people aren't able to download the new files. I can't either. But I have read the Soundcheck's new instructions for Toolbox 2.0.
If I am too much of beginner for this group, I fully understand.
Thanks.

This means that the mod is not working.
thanks omc.
the "unknown Hz" thing, soundcheck mentions in his blog...apparently its just a 'kernel bug' or something. nothing to worry about apparently.
got to say on first listen I like the improvement from these mods.
i applied the buffer mod and couldn't get it to work with any of the lower values, I got static type noises so reverted to the stock value.

What buffer values did you try? What's your setup?
In reference to the buffer values, I tries the suggested 3600us, but testing a 24/96 file I was getting intermittent glitches. I changed it to 4000us and the 24/96 file played fine. Thereafter, I started playing Pandora, and I was getting intermittent glitches again but this time of course with streaming media. I randomly set the buffer to 10000us and no longer am getting the glitches with Pandora. When I get some time later on, I will start backing it down first to 9000us and so on and so forth.

Brucemo,
I would be happy to assist you with these mods using OS X. Please contact me offline and I can assist you through the process using Terminal. Send me an email through the diyaudio system.

There could be a relation between server and not to forget network
activity. While streaming Pandora you'll have a lot more ongoing on the network.
General remark:
Thx to all of you for your valuable feedback until now.
The majority seems to have managed to get the installation
working without problems.
1.
On my Apple remotes ( iPad,iPhone) I use issh as the terminal
program of choice. You can easily setup the connection or a macro executing a certain command like ttscreen with one fingertip.
I'll write some lines about it later on.
2. If you run WLAN you probably can't make use of the buffer tweak.
( Though I havn't tested it. I don't recommend this setup anyhow,
but that you know.)
Cheers
