Hi Mani, I'm glad that you agree almost entirely with my views.
With respect to the importance of the volume level to get the best sound quality, I have to say that effectively at lower volumes the sound is also fantastic, I just meant that there is a "perfect" volume level (for each listening room) and that given the high quality of sound achieved with the combination of W8 and XXHighEnd that volume level express better the qualities of the sound. Moreover it seems easier to find this "perfect" volume due to the excellent SQ. Some kind of interdependence.
Regards, Juan

Hi Stanley, First disable Minimize OS in XXHighEnd, donŽt forget it because frequently we start to make changes with this Minimize OS active and that is impossible, restart and after that and when all is done put the W8 DVD in the CDRom try, restart again and while restarting click repeatedly the key delete, that enters you to the BIOS, there go to EXIT and click on Load Setup Defaults, this is just in case you have modified something previously. Then go to BOOT, there you will find 1st Boot Device, 2nd Boot Device, 3rd Boot Device. With the arrows mark 1st Boot Device and click Enter in your keyboard, a window opens where you have in bold letters the Boot Device you have active now to boot your pc, ok move the arrows until the bold letters are ATAPI CD-ROM (or similar), then click Enter again. Click F10 and Ok (Save configuration changes...). Now it is supposed that your system will start from your CD Rom (W8 DVD). Then follow the steps from the link I sent you yesterday to install W8 in a partitioin. http://www.buildeasypc.com/sw/windows_8/install_windows_8.htm. To create a partition to install W8 take special attention to steps 8, 9, 10 and 11. Let me know how it goes and if you find a problem Best regards, Juan

Hi Juan!
I have been playing with 09z-9 on W7 from the day Peter released it.
Today you helped me with the Windows 7/8 Dual Boot so i have now compared W7 and W8. (with exactly the same settings, Peters W8 settings)
I prefer W8, the SQ is fantastic.
Tore
ThatŽs ok Tore, if you make some findings about settings for better SQ let us know. Best regards, Juan

I see most of you all have 16GB. I have 8 Gb and it sounds lovely. I also notice there is a big difference between memory types. Some cheap ass 1333mhz memory sounds very bad vs Corsair Vengeance 1866 mhz @1333 mhz. I wonder if its worth to upgrade to 16gb?
Hi Michel, 12Gb is enough, even 8Gb works also and 16Gb seems to be the maximun youŽll need and I personally would recommend it. I remember reading about it a few days ago in a post from Peter. About the speed, not so sure but I guess that the faster the better. Regards, Juan

Agree too! (W8)
As an audiophile i feel very lucky to be with Peter on his journey.
Thanks Peter!
Tore
Hi Tore, Do you like it more with W8 than with W7? After readjusting my listening experiences with a CD-player for one week, I installed 09z-9b on the W7 PC. (Settings see sig)
This XXH release is the best ever. The amazing sound of the cymbals are back.
Great Job Peter.
Agree. (w7 ultimate64bit) Michel hi and welcome, have you tested it also in W8? Best regards, Juan

Muchos gracias Juan.
I ordered the converter from the Spanish Amazon site.
Tonight I will install 09z9b. For now on W7, as I didn't succeed in making a dual boot W7 and W8 configuration (pc won't boot on W8 DVD for some reason).
Best wishes, Stanley
De nada Stanley (you are welcome) Someone else asked (PM) about how to install W8 and W7 for dual boot and I sent him this link http://www.labnol.org/software/install-windows-8-dual-boot/20939/You can also find there some links that could help you also to solve your problem with your W8 DVD. Would be a good thing if you could install W8 so you can compare it with W7 and test it with the best settings for each one and see if really W8 and 09-z9 is a good match or not. Best regards, Juan
