Maybe for Mani himself (but also for you Paul) : No, Mani hasn't got one because we really didn't have any spare second to make one. This counts for all currently pending orders (and was promised, so to speak).

Thank you Paul,
Peter

Hey hey hey ! Congratulations !

Just announce yourself and I will probably be there instantly.
Good that you did not do anything without reason.

Regards,
Peter

Oh boy ...

Brian, I hope I did not waste half of your Saturday, but of course it IS sufficient to have the Teamviewer connection to the Music Server PC. As long as you use that yourself for control of the Audio PC.
I don't know what I was thinking yesterday ...
Apologies.

Peter

Can only be on the Audio PC. Sorry !

Teamviewer ...
You'd have to connect to the internet for that, temporarily.

Anyway, I am curious what this is about.

Tore,

See below and the red bordered albums. 6 of them. Including the one with the thick yellow border, those are the ones I did not own already. They all were Prepared as should, and the yellow bordered one is "MP3" so rejected because of that.

Thus at least no problem with those ...

It isn't so that the ones which don't work out at your end, end up with yellow borders ?

Regards,
Peter

Hi Paul,


Oh, OK, now you will have problems by guarantee. Unless proven otherwise of course.

I think I can state generally that with problems like too long file names, you're kind of lost. Or will lose or something. It just should never happen ...

What's a downside in a workflow like first not using Galleries and then much later using them, is that you won't notice for a long time what you should have taken precautions for - reserve some space for the additional length a Gallery path will consume.

I don't have the experience whether it would have helped you with the problems you face today, but do notice that it is not ever allowed to manipulate Gallery folders manually. So yes, it is full with redundancy. This is not in a database as such, but in the various (meta) data files you will find in the "Original Location" folders as well as in the Gallery folders themselves. This is about file names but also about the contents of them.
In other words : always use XXHighEnd for whatever you do with them (rightclick on Items in the Library Area and the various functions in there). This includes Renaming (click on the Item title = folder name).

What you currently best can do (I think) is rename all back to how you had it, reverting everything you did as exact as possible. Then hopefully all works as bad as how you started out when discovering this problem. Now use the functions for it and hope something can be done to it. But it is likely not.
A remedy could be to delete the Gallery entry (via XXHighEnd !) and check whether there's something left of it in the Gallery folder. If yes, delete that now manually. Now make thje Original Location folder sufficiently short, and obtain it in the Gallery again.

Only helpful for the future :
I face the same problem of course. But it never is a problem, because I work with Galleries from the start and 100% obtain everything in a Gallery. I thus notice right away when errors occur and solve it right there. So in the end I don't have a problem and all is clean.

Sorry to be unable of any real help !
Peter

Hi Leung,

Do you *always* check your DC Offset ?
With the G3 upgrade it is more easy to have it off after a power cycle of anything in the chain. Not more easy than prior to the "a" upgrade, but with the "a" upgrade it hardly happened to be wrong. And you bought the "a" as your first, so maybe it is a lack of experience with this ?

If the DC Offset is wrong, then almost by guarantee it is in one channel more wrong than the other, and you will have this unbalance effect, up to clipping because there's no sufficient voltage on one side (plus or minus) for the demand.

Does this help you ?

Kind regards,
Peter

Brian, something must be really strange or needs way more information from your part of the world.

How ? type it in the field for it.
See, this is too simple to be real. So what's up ?

I am sorry but I don't even know what "reset" means in this context.
And I understand about the \C:\DATA" (first \ surely looks wrong), so why not just change that (to begin with).

In XXHighEnd it should read :
\XXData\
unless you changed that yourself earlier on.

If you load a Playlist, do the tracks show up including the normal playing times ? Maybe not at all because :


... which is a but ambiguous for me.
a. can you show a screenshot from a Playlist which is in the Playlist Area ?
b. can you tell me the exact message and after which exact activity from you this message appears ?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Mani,

Very nice work of sharing (or asking ).

I think if you toe in or out a little bit and let remain the measuring microphone at the listening position, the dip beyond 15KHz will disappear.

I already noticed your direct beaming (speakers face dead to you) which I think is not the best way for horns of this kind.
You may think it will work out better for the highs, but it is actually the other way around. Anyway, easy to try ...

Peter

Brian,

First off, I would set back the original XXData folder (if still possible).
Next, to me it merely looks like your network drive not being available anymore. And this can have happened because the password question you rejected is (can be) related to the access to the other PC (??) where the music files are stored. So if you look in the .PLXX files you see a full path to the files. Can you actually (from the Audio PC) access the drive of those paths via Explorer ?

Peter

Thinking ...

Anthony,

All has its context. If you literally compare what's advertised, then the control PC is controlling the PC playing the audio (never mind the nomenclature for now please). So where's WiFi in that situation ? it is not there.
So we are not going to use WiFi either. What do we do ?
-> We control the Audio PC itself by the same means of keyboard and mouse and monitor as implied. Where is the network connection ? ... if you pull the cable, nowhere. Is it needed ? yes, when you select a next album to play. If you in this situation disengage the RDC services, there is no connection at all during payback. There will be an electrical connection though. And NOW we may think such a network card will help ? ... I don't think so.

Of course you are correct when you use the remote control like we do these days. But you will also know that I onbiously know that just the same. So it is only how matters are proposed and how I like to play with apples and apples. And I did.

Careful or otherwise I'll pull the Bluetooth trick again. (this was before your times I'd say).


Whatever you hear, it will be something else. The RDC connection, when engaged, is just always active. But there's only transfer when something needs to transfer, like with Wallpaper active and that changing at a next track. Anyway, whatever it is you hear will also be there when the music is pulled from the Audio PC itself. Try it ... - but without a 100% guarantee - haha. This is because the changing of the wallpaper is a super heavy process. Think like a 100,000 registry reads (really so) while otherwise there's totally nothing.

So once again, you are just right. But I felt it was perfectly allowed to say what I said, because of the context combined with the fact that RDC traffic is zero when nothing happens on the monitor. The electrical connection is there though, but as said, nothing is telling me that any super duper connection is going to make a difference. This really is rather the same as so many people thinking that a glass connection is inherently galvanically isolated and thus no noise can come through. This, while the protocol conversion (which is a PC process and an in-DAC electrical process on the other end) only adds piles of noise. And this is audible - for the worse of course.

Cheers,
Peter
