Alpha Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.0 (Blind Testing)

[zackthedog]

I haven't tested everything but it seems to be working smoothly here, with Chrome and my old CAPS Carbon N2800 renderer.  But I have to say that whatever you've done there's been a subtle leap in sound quality--or maybe I just changed something else in my system. ;-)  I've tried Snakeoil as an end-point with Audirvana, or JRiver or whatever.  It's always sounded pretty good but maybe a bit generalized on top, lacking some openness.  But my wife came in to the living room today and said, "This sounds lovely.  Whatever you did, don't change it!"  And she never comments unless it's really that good.  So thanks.  With mpd-dsd-rt and upmpdcli, the sound is just wonderful.
