The digitized LP files (EMT 950, EMT XDS, KORG MR 2000s, Audiogate software; 192KHz/24bits (superior to 96/24), ) are totally different in SQ to CD files via XXH.
Instruments on CD files are well seperated, less soundstage, cymbals are more harsh , but I like it.
LP files smoother SQ and nice soundstage

Disengage HDCD during replay of digitized LP files (192KHz/24bits) is mandatory. (see also Mani's note before)

Ok, you had your chance. So, the amount of steps is higher and the height smaller at 24/176,4 at the same sinus curve. Incorrect. The relation between 16/44.1 and 24/176.4 is : 16bits:24bits = 1:256 (= your height) 44.1:176.4 = 1:4 So, height is 256 times more, while sample rate is only 4 times more. If this is not what your subject is, then ... please elaborate. haha Peter He, he now I'm trapped!!! In general my intention is to say, coming back to my first quote, that it is not sheer noise, there are more overtones on the LP. Joachim P.S. Is there a better program than Audio Gate on the market?

Mani, no. I know that "analysing" this sh*t is difficult, but your LP goes to 15KHz just the same. The remainder is sheer noise. Sorry about that, but this is how I see it.
Peter
The main difference is the "amount of information" you hear. The amount of steps of a sinus curve at files with 16/44,1 are smaller and the height bigger than .............. . You hear more refined vibrations of the guitar string at 24/176,4 than ................ . So, the amount of steps is higher and the height smaller at 24/176,4 at the same sinus curve.

Any fresh idea?
Try to start from square one and delete XXH at first. A) Go to Systemmanagement and uninstall via "Programme/Programm deinstallieren" the Phasure OCX program B) reboot the PC C) perform now a fresh installation of XXH, and during that process the "Phasure OCX" files will be installed again. D) and then follow the normal procedure. This works an my PC. Best Joachim

Does it mean I have to do a full reinstall of the system?
Hi, I had a similar problem before. You have to install the release 09z74 again, unminimize with this release the OS, and then install 09z75, activate it + minimize OS. This procedure was working on my system. Joachim

Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Re: 0.9z-7 - Volume control

PA = Power Amplifier VC = Volume Control...
regards, Coen
Hi Coen, VC with the NOS1 was between -27 and -20(for outstanding songs) always and so I was familiar with that setting only. The Weiss Minerva (firewire connection to the PC) is a DAC with a Volume control via relays and the SQ with XXH 0.9z-6 was less demanding compared to the NOS1 in 2011. But with the release 0.9z-7 the sound quality of the Minerva is different with the 0,0 setting. The improvement is really astonishing, it is a new world. So I believe the SQ of the NOS1 (without preamp) with 0.9z-7 at 0,0 and a gain control, in what ever way, will be another major step foreward. Joachim
