Hi Joachim,
No strange performance related experiences with the laptop?
I guess a lot of system optimizations are not possible. Ok these might be less relevant SQ wise in a LPSU/battery situation but stops, hiccups etc are an annoyance too.
The HDplex is for the laptop I assume...**correct**

Hi Coen,
The XXH settings I'm using are "weird", 8x AP only, no XTweaks and replay in "Attended" mode only. This settings do not favour the SQ from the angle of the hardware, but there is nothing strange during the replay, no ticks, nothing, a clean sound only.
The laptop is not as fast as ............. , but the loading speed of the tracks it is quite accepable for me, even with 192KHz/24 bit files.
I just tried to play tracks in "Unattended" but this mode doesn't work, so for this situation the CPU needs more power (and RAM).
What I expect is, that the
external PS favours the SQ, and therefore "low demanding power" components are essential. Such a PC should work when reading Peters comment here:
http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=2937.msg31238#msg31238The Intel Core i7-4790K processor (or Xeon E3-1241 v3 or Michaels Xeon type) should meet the requirement, and 16Gb RAM is a must.
We have to wait for Michaels report about his PC assembly. (hopefully before Christmas)
