Hi there Shreekant,

Take out the USB cable at both sides, but it back in (both sides) and switch off and on the NOS1.

The message comes from the DAC, no sudden odd XXHighEnd setting implies the problem.

Let me know whether it helped …
Peter

Nick, how would you know the resistance of the d+ and d- lines ? And what does it mean, "all over" ?

I'm asking because I have no idea what you are talking about.

Thanks !
Peter

Hi Ramesh,

No, there is no provision for that. Sorry …

Peter

Possibly, yes. If the "disk" is too full, the OS will fight for free disk space and this could be audible.
I don't want to talk you into psychological problems, though (OK, I just did ).

Robert, the size of the RAM-OS Disk OS (hence the memory it will consume after boot-up) is unrelated to XXHighEnd.

Upgrading XXHighEnd is a piece of cake, as long as you use the patch files for it, and not the full install.

Regards,
Peter

Here you go :

Robert,

For me (so mind you, for me) the jumpers don't do anything, until I can confirm myself that they do. I really have no time to sort it out, because it just takes too many days to carefully listen and I have more important things to listen for (like 2.11 new stuff).

The jumpers are there for protection only, and what ever picture you may run into from my hand, the jumpers could be on it randomly or even lacking.

Additionally you can not make any obtrusive connections with the jumpers.

You can bridge pins with them (free pins assumed, depending on the wire config applied), or you may just put on a jumper side ways, you may leave the pin(s) blank because no jumper covers them … it may all make a difference for SQ. But it is for you guys to find out, with "The Attorney" in the lead (as it appears).
As I said over there, everything and all may act as antenna with includes blank pins, or covered by jumper which immediately extends the antenna. The logic in it is that all is about antenna working in the first place and the shields which prevent it (more or less depending on the configuration), or just allow it (same). What happens for real we can't tell, unless someone measures it (I don't think I can with absolute measure).

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Robert,

I will try to make something of this tomorrow.

Ricardo,

Not that I know of. I could quote a few people from my emails (if I could find them), but I regard those vague myself plus I don't like to quote from people who didn't give their consent.

Kind regards,
Peter

yep ...

Hi Robert,

For me this implied a too much balance towards the highs. However, I lasted for 6 weeks or so with it. In the end I found myself too much tweaking with other things (including 2.11 - sorry :-)) and ended up annoyed too much.

Thank you very much for sharing !
Peter

Hi Paul,

I don't think there's anything like "arrangements" with Amazon.

There's also nothing like "infinite Hires" which is what this could be about and which would surpass Tidal if it (infinite Hires) would exist.

So at this moment I don't see a reason. Maybe I am wrong …

Regards,

Peter

Jon,


Simple, because the early version of the MScaler/Dave combo did not allow the "analog" (the one you have) to work.



Because it has (many) more configuration possibilities. In this case it is quantitative, but if only a few sound better than the ones lacking in the digital version it is obviously also qualitative.


By all means, Yes !

Thank you for your advices Jon. I will surely look into it soon.
Peter

Hi Richard,

That could be crucial additional information.
So I put it in the Todo and we will see what happens. I am going to try to make something of it …

Best regards,
Peter
