Before making it too difficult ... I now see in your error-4 picture that you stuffed "(WAV)" in the name; is that correct ? if so, that for sure creates problems, probably this one.
If you had created Galleries I think you would know. But if so, they are just normal folders on the drive you created the Galleries. For that matter, your error-4 picture may show a Gallery root of FLAC (but I can't see whether it's a Gallery or a real music folder), and that FLAC folder would just reside on disk.
Let me know about the (WAV) thing ... Peter
The (WAV) is either in the artist folder (in which are the albums) or after each album. It's there to remind me to convert them to flac and then edit the tags. If i do the conversion first, this problem will disappear? Because i have to do it sooner or later

The Galleries folders are created by XX (on your command) and contain the meta data with .mta files ... If you didn't (order for Galleries) I misunderstood the whole subject. I will look into it better tomorrow. Where are they supposed to be?

Depends on what you did. But the worse is when you moved originals to another location. In that case the Galleries created from it earlier should be deleted, and from the originals new Galleries should be generated. The latter is no problem, but when the first is in the middle of a Gallery comprising of other originals as well ... PAIN.
Anyway, the last thing I am telling you is "this is no problem". I am sorry ...
I dont have the "galleries" files anywhere. What if i remove the music folder and let it recreate it?

I know this is a pain to get right, but it just is not finished (now you must delete those old Library entries manually ... not difficult by itself of course, but still a pain). Peter Yes, i will do. If you tell me how

Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Library error

Hi Peter,
I'm re-organizing my library, which involves moving some folders to another drive. I have issues with some albums in wav, that xxhe does not like to recognize in the library, and only in the library. If i drag the single files they are played fine and also the album art is shown (!).
*** They appear with white text. if i do "show original location" ta-da! unhandled exception (see pic 4c).
if i try to play them (double click), a window error appear, see pic 4 and 4b.
How to fix it?

Let me first ask : when you have this (Saint-Saëns could be the example) is it repeatable ? I mean, will it just be impossible to ever play such a track ? Yes, repeatable. So, a solution is that i try to re-encode the file. In that case i cant because i downloaded it, but another example i can re-encode.

Left and right filters shouldnt be the same freq and steep. Each should be tailored on the driver properties.
I didnt experiment yet, but I have read a lot and the dispute between IIR and FIR, it's a matter o taste or better, what our ears perceive.
Looks like I have to play with both, which means trying the best software XOs that I know of, that is acourate, audiolense and thuneau. And pay for all of them, because the demos don't do sh*t, pardon my french.
A problem that is present now with using XXHE is that it does NOT rely on asio, so, after you play with Console or any other asio-based signal router/processor, you cant do anything about that. You can apply those filters to foobar with asio output.
This unless you can do at driver-level, such as with the fireface totalmix. I'd like to know if the Lynx has similar software but I dont think so. Also, i'd like to know about the internal (cheaper) RME cards.

Mani – Well the financial meltdown was though on Derek – so Overkill is put on ice. I do however see that he is very active on some DIY webpages – and we do speak regularly on matters of hifi and enviroment! I hope he will be able to get back into hifi – he brought a loot of good ideas to the table! And – we share the same enthusiasm for some very special Norwegians amps… Best regards Ole Martin “OMF” Norwegian? hmm I saw that brand but dont remember the name! BTW, I had some mail exchange with Derek and he's a very nice guy. I wish things go better for him.

Well, coincidentally tonight there's a "big test" with others, to see whether I'm a fool on thinking that I have created the best DAC-output *ever*, or whether I am just right and you will pay 20K for it easily. Nah, don't be shocked, it will go for the fraction of that price. After tonight I will eloborate some more on the main thread *if* I am right that what I have done here, blows away everything on this earth (the sound is a 1000% different from anything you've ever heard, and it is so different that I'm afraid I just like it, and nobody else will). For those who caught a glimps of it already, yes, this is compared to the DAC itself from a week back. And for insiders (yes, they too exist), this is BEFORE the big change to come, hopefully next week. Peter T E A S E R !

Can't it be that this happens at playing FLACs ? (while before you hardly did)
The error itself is recognizeable, but for me this means "strange" combinations of start-stop-volume change at Unattended, and those kind of things. Maybe you changed such a "procedure-like" thing lately ?
This happens playing flacs, yes. I play almost only flacs. Before i was testing with other pc where there were only some old mp3. I didnt change the volume when playing those files, though. Maybe I can send those two files and u can check?
