[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1169389, member: 746"] The Mercury streamer I'm using has Gentooplayer, a modified Linux OS. The kernel and OS versions are continually being upgraded or newer versions are offered Since I started to use it in October last year, the OS has changed from version 5.5.1 to 6.7.6 and the CPU test modes now offer 15 variants There are posts on another forum from people adamant that the new kernel is like manna from heaven or equally saying an older version offers a "more engaging sound", or "a smoothy sound, better soundstage, detailed." Many descriptive words I hear none of these things. Maybe I am not listening hard enough, I just enjoy the music [/QUOTE]
