[ AP-Linux transforme votre PC en machine musicale ultime. La distribution Linux Audiophile surpasse les systèmes d'exploitation standard et permet la lecture de musique numérique en "qualité studio" possible. ]
Real Time Kernel
Pre installed, custom Real Time Linux kernel is included in AP-Linux distribution. Audio processing, with specially designed and compiled RT kernel, is the first priority of the distribution. Only the digital music playback is considered as the main process.
Bit Perfect Audio
The transport and the processing of the audio files are essential. The music travels with AP-Linux from the playback software to the external sound card (DAC) with much greater speed and efficiency. The 192 kHz sample rate is being processed with latencies between 5 to 10ms, dependent on your hardware.
