[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7)]“The used OS on the streamer 2.16 is a heavily modified version of Arch Linux (Low Latency / Real-time kernel / Headless). The advantage of using Linux is that you start with nothing and only configure what you really need for audio playback. The Pink Faun streamer 2.16 can work standalone and is fully controllable from a tablet and/or smartphone. The streamer 2.16 runs in a headless mode which means there’s no video driver loaded which results in an even lower noise floor in whole the system.”
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7)]“Also, and most important, with Linux, we can reach an incredibly low latency (audio latency and processor latency). During the process of developing the streamer 2.16, we found out that latency is one of the key elements to achieve the really smooth and natural sound; the lower the latency, the better. That’s why buffer-size is always turned off, or chosen at the lowest option possible in the playback software. Because the latency is so low in the streamer 2.16 (Audio latency at 192 kHz < 2,67 ms on AMD Ryzen processor and high quality digital audio interface. Audio latency at 44.1 kHz < 1 ms depending on hardware configuration. Incredibly low processor latency average 4-6 microseconds on AMD Ryzen processor ) we need a solid stable processor and therefore we have chosen the AMD Ryzen 8-core processor.”[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701960784313725)]
