Sorry for the confusion of my last post, It was ment as a question not as a statement. (how would i know, anyway ?) But i totally believe you on: Now, today it is again so drastically better compared to what I was used to two days ago, that now *I* don't care at all. Let's say the "so much better" just overrules everything and all.
Compared to different cables, capacitors and so on. But still minor changes in software can have drastic effect on SQ, for eg. 48 vs 1024 samples. The whole project of xx was like this, its not a little better or worse with every version, its totally different each time a new version is launched. This can be hard sometimes, as in what is the "Reference" (my reference got lost a long time ago) I am still amazed how this can sound so different each time. Try to explain this to the simple minded people, who say its just ones and zero's (I remember a discussion with someone, a couple of years ago) But I really enjoy the whole learning curve into achieving better sound.

Compliments to the Chef, The DAC is galvanically isolated from the PC, and on that matter I would dare state that the PC can not make a difference.
So, WiFi, seperate videocard, overclocking are also allowed in the dedicated audio PC. So no more power tweaking and such (CPU, RAM) Wow, dedicated audio PC, is no longer a necessity, just get a fast PC. Also a good thing for our American audio friends, is the "good" dollar-euro value. (0.83) By the time your sales start the price will probably be even lower.

Hi Coen,
Did you already create a "TemporaryData" folder in your xx folder ? Or just untick, log activities under your xx settings, then restart xx.
This a bug in xx, its looking for a temp folder that just isnt there. So create one, or disable the logging.
Hope this makes life somewhat easier,
Best,
Roy

Marcin, I think this is about removing a misbehaving XML user.config file, see: http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=709.0Dont forget to put the new xx install in the same folder as your first install of xx 0.9z version Because registry entries are made with this new version, see the quote from the release notes: • Kind of important : While so far we could manage without really installing anything (Registry stuff), now it takes two OCX files to be registered. Two subsequent messages at the first startup of 0.9z will tell you so. Notice they can be unregistered manually only. When you want to do that (hence get rid of XXHighEnd in the first place) do this, and to it *before* you throw out your XX folder :
- Open a command window (cmd.exe from the Startbutton - Run). Then go to your XX folder (CD \yourXXFolder) and in there, type these two lines : regsvr32/u isanaloglibrary.ocx regsvr32/u isdigitallibrary.ocx
Both commands should be followed by a message that the Unregistring has succeeded.
Then do a fresh install of xx 0.9z, followed by 0,9zb Hope this helps you a bit, Roy

Although,
I think with such dynamics, speed and precision becomes much more important. Precision by means of word-clock and speed by decent (enough) dacs. Because sounds/samples are much loooooonger they can only get better and smoother by means of upsampling. (AP)
I think I run into my system (dac) limits,
Roy

Hi All, Same here, sound is really amazing. Special mode is to hard and direct, resulting in listen fatiqueness after some albums or even tracks. (got even as low as 32 samples at Q1=-3) Adaptive mode is REALLY REALLY great at 1024 samples, lower as 1024 samples will result in lesser bass, soundstage becomes smaller. 1024 Samples = ANALOG Never heard such dynamics ever before, anywhere ! Thnx Peter
