Yes Charlie, Correct.

Peter

OK Paul. Thank you for the feedback.

Peter

Hi Juan - Neither !
So I don't know where you got the idea from, but really not !

Peter

Paul, unrelated to whether you succeeded with your scrollbars endeavour, I just saw the problem coincidentally myself. It must be like that for ages but apparently I never was bothered by it.
Will be solved !

Peter

Hi there Charlie,

Easiest for you will be installing 2.07 directly. Doing it via an older version and then patches is only extra work.
I know, it is always a bit of taking breath first, but you will get there !


Best regards,
Peeter

Thank you Esau.

Btw, at some stage I think I'll merges the two topics about the G3 upgrade.

Thank you for your kind words,
Peter

Matt, I wasn't even remotely suggesting something like that. But maybe I manged to transfer my thinking to you, because the one DAC that was returned, was returned from China and a very strange way. So I sure was thinking about such a thing in general when I wrote about that DAC.

Anyway, thank you very much !
Peter

Matt, and you will send it through unopened, right ?
hahaha
Not that I'd care. Or maybe a little because I like all to arrive as how it was shipped to avoid *any* strangeness. So if it does not work, we need to be sure we did something wrong (but we test them all) or that the intended recepient did something to it. Not that anyone will be blamed (but we ourselves) but now it is about *you* do should not be blamed.

And might the person read this who had to return his Clairixa because it stopped working ... this was caused by a poorly designed computer port which simply destroyed the connector. It is a one occasion out of 100s, but it could still happen to you.

Anyway, all fine; please go ahead with it.
Regards and thanks,
Peter

OK Paul. And mind you, I am not claiming that the following will work out for the better for you - you'd have to find out your self.

Your phone will connect to "a" PC which connects through to the Audio PC, right ?
OK. So let's say that the Audio PC does not care about any resolution; There is no monitor attached to it anyway.
The PC (laptop ?) you connect to, is to use the resolution you want on the "end point" (which is your phone).
Btw, I think you can run into trouble when your phone has a higher resolution than that PC/Laptop - not sure though.
Now, suppose the phone has (or can be set to) a resolution of 1366x768 (just making up something). Then on the laptop you must make an RDC connection of exactly (!!) that size. You do this by rightclick on the RDC icon you'll have for that, open with Notepad (this is 100% crucial) and in that file set the resolution to that by means of these lines (you will find them close to the top but with different values) :
desktopwidth:i:1366
desktopheight:i:768

Also add this line :
smart sizing:i:1

I think this is sufficient to let all work without scrollbars AND the always correct aspect ratio (!). And yes, it is almost voodoo how it canwork, but it does.

At this time I am unsure (I forgot) to what degree the settings on the end point (your phone) are related, which already springs from that not being under my control as long as it is not Windows. However, to be sure of the result, when possible also enter that resolution in the Phone's "RDC" icon. But I said it, if possible. Maybe this is always possible, because whatever the resolution of the phone, it will be a standard (like "full screen" implies it already).

Attached you'll find my own file for the "laptop" (which is the intermediate) and which is made to fit my tablet. I give it because some more will be in there like the automatically disappearing connection bar (maybenot possible outside of the Windows OS) or that there is no Title Bar or anything else that eats space.

Your goal is to have a completely full screen experience on the remote, with the proper aspect ratio.

For others : and of course you scale XXHighEnd to your (finger's) needs.

Peter

Hahaha, great !
Maybe you can sell your Lush for $7000 and promise 50% discount on that amp for the buyer ?

No wait, I will higher the price of the Lush. Others come away with such prices too. So ?



Peter

Ah Matt, but you don't know Russian as well !
haha
You must see my conversations with people from there via (real time) Google Translate. Works wonderful ! Especially the real time translation which you see happening (via Teamviewer) is the most helpful. This is really without any issues that I ever noticed.
Now try email; that does not work at all ! (still using Google Translate)

Anyway to answer the question you will have for yourself (haha) :
I have been thinking of this as a standard offer (one of the texts introducing the Lush incorporated that), but it is very difficult for me to make this consistent and "right". This is about the shipping costs (or the too low price of the Lush, perhaps). So envision :
The cable (which won't even transfer directly to Russia just because your friend will not like that, so other routes are used) will cost 44 euros for any "far" country. However, this can only work in "high transfer times" which means many packages per week because that gives a discount. Otherwise for such a low weight / low volume package it will be ~55 euros (but say 10 more).

Side note : outside of UPS nothing works, or at least I won't allow it because too much trouble. So shipping itself may be less expensive all right, but the extra time it takes for us should make it more expensive only. And add to that the lousy tracking of normal means and the always unpredictable costs to begin with, and that does not work out.

So, generally we must assume 55 euros, and this will be lost.
Then the package has to be send back and while this also costs a little, there is no guarantee anywhere that it will arrive, will be in customs for months without knowing and that people start to be very nervous. And really, it can take a month while after two weeks you will be sure it is lost. So you don't have a cable but also no money back.
Of course we can use UPS again, so there goes another 55 euros down the drain.

Then there's the stupidness of needing to import the thing again. This is the same stuipdness we talked about with the NOS1a to G3 upgrade, because all upgrades cost 55 euros only because of that. This will be maybe 25 or so for the cable (15 is just administration fees) and this too I don't like to pay, so the Russian friend etc. needs to pay for that. I think I am at 135 euros now for shipping stupidness for a cable which costs 200 only.
And thus : NOT a good idea at all, no matter I would like to offer it very much.

I realize that for people from Russia (and many more countries) 200 euros is very much (can easily be 2000 for some people because in the country of concern one earns 10 times less money) but so is the 135 equivalent to 1350.

It just has to work out !!

In the very end I won't say no, but people need to understand that shipping costs can not be refunded just as well that import duties on this side are for the one who likes to send back.

Best regards,
Peter

Thank you Mark.

And thank you Henning !

Hi Paul,

This is not intentional of course. But I see a few more things wrong, and I don't know whether they can be solved from the distance. But first a question :

I see scrollbars; are they intentionally ? I ask because according to me they should never be there.
So this is just the question wheter you do this on purpose or whether you didn't know how to get rid of them in the first place (and now possibly don't mind).

Regards,
Peter

Thank you for your feedback Abbe !

Peter

Anthony,

Maybe it is too difficult for me to see through, but I don't think it will be the same because it will be Roon which is doing the streaming. Theoretically it is possible because HQPlayer also can do it but this is in a leage which is too far from the way all has been set up.

What I have been working on is let Roon act as a front end for selection and next play all normally from within XXHighEnd. And now I think of it, within Tidal itself such things are already explicitly possible with 2.08 (think of a copy-paste like thing). Hmm ...
