Hi Peter,
thanks for your reply. I did some investigation and found out, that I can actually have an SFS of 280 for Mixed Contiguous. I'll find out later on, what the max setting is for Straight Contiguous.
Furthermore: can I expect a better SQ when I double the Memory to 8 Gb?

Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Re: Sound of FLAC?

Hi All,
I don't hear a noticeable difference in SQ between FLAC and WAV in Pop and Rock, at least when I ripped them myself with EAC. The FLACS I downloaded from the net, at least the free torrents, were most of the time sounding stressy and they were not useable for me.
For jazz and classical music, thus music mostly recorded by microphones from acoustic instruments and vocals, I only use WAV-rips, to be absolutely sure, that no ambiance and roominfo is thrown away in the proces

Hello Peter, my pal JohanZ was here tonight and he sorted it out for me: I had a main folder named XXHe with subfolders for the subsequent versions of XXHighEnd. This worked fine with only one version of it, but clearly not with more. He placed the two versions in the root and after filling in the settings of the two programs everything works just fine. Enjoin' Jan Akkerman live (10000 clowns on a rainy day) now. Almost heavenly sound.....  |

Hello Peter, Thanks for your reply. I made in the C Root a Main Folder named XXHe. In there I made a subfolder with 0.9Z4-1. Next to that folder, I made a new folder with 0.9z-5. I copied the AutoHK.exe and XX.ahk from there to a new (I threw away the old version of it) AutoHK Folder placed in the root. I don't see, what I did wrong here. Still I get these wrong settings. Is there no script somewhere in Auto HK that tells it the right direction? About the "right" Q1 settings: I understand my misunderstanding, now, finally  (sort of) |

Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / 0.9Z-5 AutoHotkey starts the old version

Hi there, I'd like to have some help here: everything works, but the AutoHK. The HK button gave the message that the older XXHe version was still the path. I removed everything about AutoHK, rebooted and followed the thread nabout installing AutoHK. I copied the 2 mentioned files from the 0.9Z-5 map to a new made AutoHK map and made the suggested adjustments in the "properties". But, pressing the AutoHK (after starting 0-9Z-5) still gives the message that the directed map is 0.9Z-4-1. When trying to play unattended, the music doesn't start after a while. Also, hence I presume, when I stop XXHe and use the Alt-X combination, the older XXHe starts up. I'm a bit frustrated. Furthermore: I recently opened the settings from my soundcard. It gives some settings for "Latency (sample number)". The standardsetting was 256. I set it to its highest setting 1024. I chose this to have more headroom in settings for Q1. Am I right? And am I right, that I have to put the setting for Engine#4/Adaptive Mode the same 1024? What is the best Q1-setting with this? No samples are given anymore in the new version. Or is it part of the hobby to stumble here to a "right" setting?  |

It worked in one try. I learn slowly, but I learn! 
It sounds heavenly and I'm very happy that Q1 stays low and not leaps back at 14...
