Okay, the dac chip is AD1865N-K. I think that's an 18 bit chip. Anyone know if its any good? Thanks.

Congratulations Netherlands!

Thanks Pedal, you took the words right out of my mouth. Of course Peter's dac, being perhaps the best on the globe, is really rather cheap when compared to something like the Trinity dac which costs about 15 thousand, but that doesn't help me. I'm always on the lookout for a descent NOS dac that I can afford, and that will play high rez stuff. There just don't seem to be too many out there.........If the Audio Mirror dac doesn't downsample high rez, I might give it an audition. We'll see.......

I emailed him and he said he tried a 176 file and it works fine. I then emailed asking what nos dac chip he was using for high rez files or were the high rez files downsampled. Am still waiting for a reply (3 days but its holiday here.).

Hi Peter. I've spent an hour trying to replicate this and no luck. Unfortunately I don't remember the exact file that was playing, but I have tried both 16/44 and 24/96 material. With each attempt I selected two tracks (same sample rate) with the last 10-20 seconds of the first track played first. I use XX daily and have never had a glitch like that before. I guess one can't know if it was a problem with the track or a hicup with the program or a general hicup with my particular system........very frustrating given the likelihood, but not certainty, it is a problem with my setup.......

Wish I had better news.

Yesterday I was in a hurry to leave the house and as a track was ending hit alt/x to bring up the gui, once it was up and the music was still fading, I hit the stop button. This sequence resulted in an explosion of static. I am glad my finger was on the power switch of the amp when it happened.

On football, CONGRATULATIONS. Hope next round goes well too!

Yeah, I meant burning but ripping is good too. All those playlists end up in the car as I travel the country.

No problem Roy, jokes are good too! Hey are you guys taking the World Cup? Good luck.

Oops, you are right. No burning, huh?

Well tell her I agree, those cd's really must go!

Didn't do anything here, it just (mostly) works with z2. The question is what did YOU do?

I know its been mentioned before that there will be  cd burning capability in XX. Is that still the intention? Sure would be cool cause all my playlists are now being made in XX. Patience, of course, being understood.

Having 16/44 and 24/96 files in the same playlist mostly works. However, about a third of the time when switching from one to the other I get a too many buffer errors message. Almost there! 

Thanks Peter.....good to know its not just me  .

With all 9z versions, including 2, the gui very occasionally fails to appear when I use the alt/x command during unattended playback. The taskbar will reappear and XX will appear in the taskbar, music will continue to play, but the gui will not appear. Sometimes I can right click on XX in the task bar and hit close, then hit alt/x again and the gui will reappear, but usually this won't work and I have to reboot to get the gui back. (Don't know if the gui would reappear if I just let the playlist finish, will find out next time it happens.)  Since I'm the only one who has reported this problem I'm beginning to assume it's my system not having sufficient resources. Anyone else out there had this happen?
