Title: Keeping it all on all the time vs using standby / off? Post by: Tore on October 04, 2020, 07:38:14 pm Peter, can you tell us where to find the button :), i have never heard about this before.
After thinking about this "20 minute" heat up for a year, I decided to make a provision in the (XXHE) software that allows for silently playing music. USB is now active all thee time (though at a fairly low level) and the DAC is actively performing its D/A task continuously. And yes, even the amplifiers and everything is just On (IOW you won't hear a thing of this). And then something happened I could not predict ... With this feature, you actually play music 24/7 and the difference - at least in my situation - is crazy. The sound is so so much more clean (more crispy, more responsive). And of course right from the first tones of music for the day. 😉 I never knew that this could make such a difference, and obviously when you play music continuously for say 8 hours, you won't notice either because it will go gradually (better).

At the end of the day, you press the E from Alt-E at the shortcut Menu. This Pauses Playback. The next day, say 18 hours later, you press Alt-P - this continues playback. ... But in between playback was always going on ... Best regards, Peter Title: Re: Keeping it all on all the time vs using standby / off?

Title: Re: Keeping it all on all the time vs using standby / off? Post by: briefremarks on October 05, 2020, 05:51:47 pm Trying to understand this more. Currently:
- I have the Audio PC and Music PC on all the time; - The NOS1 DAC is on all the time; - The Orelo amps are on all the time; - XXHE is in the state it is when Unattended playback completes. Does the procedure mentioned improve on this because XXHE is playing all the time? Title: Re: Keeping it all on all the time vs using standby / off?

How many albums do you typically load in memory when you listen all day? If I have a large selection of music to play all day, I usually play in Attended mode because I've never been sure how much can be loaded in memory--especially MQA tracks. R.

But I only listen to albums when they are new. And then one is "logic" I think. Otherwise I only play from Galleries and I take care that no more than 60 minutes or so is loaded. With Hires/MQA less (say half of normal maximum). Peter |
