I guess my emotional connection score is directly referred to the test itself .haha - :-)
Group the music , well I don't do test to group the music usually . Rhythm , Harmony and Melody are such a complex combination , and when I enjoy it ( a lot ) do not tend to " group " it . What about AOR , Adult Oriented Rock for example?
By the way I was playing Bach minuettos at the age of 7 .
Cheers

X tweak ultimate , minimized os:
user did notice some "not liking" by software regarding a possible set of Processor Appointment ( probably going to ... unattended ) causing reboots ;
Mobo set to " varying cpu speed in OS " is not liked by software , causing reboots going in unattended . Software prefer Mobo to be " auto " in that regard .
Beside this 2 points , Cpuz says that when all is satisfied and software plays in unattended + ultimate , the cpu freq remains half of what is set .And of course the heat sink + fan say exactly the same .
In user case freq is 1600 Mhz ( set to 3200 Mhz )
stefano
Also a reboot did occur automaticly after 30 minutes or so of listening in unattended . EDIT: OK cpuz is not to be considered . CPU temp says 3,8 Giga Hz( 6,7watts... :-) ) . The HeatSink is BIG (Core 0,1,2,3 : 25°,22°23°26° C ) Thanks s

And then one more thing, but careful not to drop dead now;
*If* this really matters for a more holographic sound, it can be expected that in W8 it will matter too. What am I saying ? well, that in W8 it can well be that we should try to allocate the Contigious Memory (that's what this is all about) more towards the memory limit (the 16GB we may have in there). However, this is not possible and so it should be done the other way around : remove physical memory.
But nobody should try it unless you want to end up in mental hospital and I better try that myself some time.
Hmm ...
But reducing Memory can be done in OS this way , is that of some interest? stefano

Coen,
What happens when you ddo NOT activate "ALL Services" (shutdown) ? Well, assumed that you use that, or ? Notice it needs a reboot for maximum (undoing) effect.
Regards, Peter
Peter, Thanks for the reply, I have checked the stop all services button now. As I interpret your instruction: reboot to "normal" os, uncheck "stop all services" and reboot again to "min OS" and play 8-2. I will try this. I forgot to mention something important about my 8e setup. That is that i find it -sometimes much- easier to follow the musical melodies of instruments that are mixed into the "background" or "sides". Especially when the main instrument (usually a voice) kicks in. @ Hein, thanks for your post. Tonight it happened again. This morning I enjoyed Henryk Szeryng playing Bach on 8-2 with a very realistic and melodious violin, but tonight it would not even do for background music. WTF?! The strange thing is that on 8e I never am bored with any music (provided that I like it). Lets see what we can do next, Regards, Coen that's funny Coen , I have been to a live concert pratically a couple of evenings before the 0.9Z8-2 was out . Then tried it and I did imagine that *nobody* would really mix a record or a live set the way I hear it playing with the new software . Then I realized I am not a Phasure NOS DAC user , and well ... never mind . Generally I *tend* to prefer earlier versions also . We'll see . ( W7 ) Stefano

ah... Maybe I did not express myself correctly. You are right, LAN disconnects even if it is set to be kept ON in Normal OS mode. Only in Minimize OS will it stay (if ON)...
Alain
Great , will try it later . Thanks Alain . S
