OK .

So Arc Prediction is fooled by the native frequency .... somehow ...

Well , thanks to your suggestion Boleary ;

I have been able to install Windows 7 Sp1 ,with a GUID partition table UEFI interface to a 250Gig Sata disk .

What is interesting , is that the sound I hear is much better than before . Well that could be some other factors , but the disks are similar , and many other things are similar too .

I did not activate yet , because I need to make some choice for the future .Probably a new HDD;  the result is very very promising anyway . I like it .

As a try , after the fooling around about UEFI interface and boots , I managed to create a GUID partition table . I am putting in some music .
who knows ...

Well you know that DC reading is relate to volume levels with PA , so the above is measured at about -30dB .
What is important that the peak , last one second and not more .

HI ,

my DC deviations during starting play are about 20 millivolt on the negative side if I remember well : normal phase , PA - . After that second in time , it come back to its previous value of DC readings .

In unattended plus minimized I can listen to an entire album at SFS = 2 smootly and in complete absence of audible clicks . Also the volume changes by the Alt- U or Alt- D are taking their effect smoothly and clickless .

EDIT :
At the main line output I can't see any dc value after a second of playing  , so to speak the 'peak' might be larger that 20mVolt, since I am measuring with a digital voltmeter .But me , myself do not consither it a problem . Actually in my amp speakers output ( which is directly coupled - no capacitors allover ) the only variation  after that is 0.1 millivolt . Not bad .
In all my DC at the speakers is 0.5 millivolt .

Peter , thanks for the reply .

The message goes away the second try or by clicking retry and easily the normal explorer comes back . so not a problem .
To answer your question , no I do not recognize the device but your ipotesis may be true since I did play with a ide/ata to sata converter thing recently ; that was for an old Maxtor HDD expolration .

BTW everything , and I say everything is working properly for now . From unattended to minimized to PA , everything is just fine .

The message pop up by Pushing the button on the image below , at a very first set up of 0.9z7   3 . So at pointing to the music disc , but when the fields was clear .

Hello there Peter and all .

Can you please address me to the meaning of the message listed below?

Thank you .

I hope you are just kidding with this . 

I do not have severe cracks at stop , only that plop thing . But to me is clear that now PA engages , and I maybe know why .

Engaging properly ? How could I know , since the feature is considered a secret?

Last night I had the pleasure to finally 'listen' to PA . IF you did note , I didn't tell about anything for the 0.9z7 sound in general .
That was because I think , PA wasn't working or engaging correctly at the famous 88200Hz , which is the only upsample frequency I can afford now ( but soon will be more than that ) .

It worked all for me at : Q1 from 14 to 30 , XQ1=1 Dev Buff size at 4096 and its value on the DAC the same .

It did set perfectly to fade out at a Step of 4 .

Changing the DAC buffer size in front of a fixed XXHE buffer size ( 4096) didn't change anything for the fade out Step .

So from what I hear , I say : IT IS WORKING !!!!   


For the sound ... congratulations . It seems to me a wonderful feature . I can hear basycally a very RIAA like dynamic sound , much more musical all over , with a good notice for the bass zone which is delicate , round , and .... dynamic .

Also all the cymbals and drums details are better ;
It is another sound , it is audible pretty soon turning on and off PA , but of course the enjoyment comes listening to all the album . More there is tons of stereo information of the rooms , keyboards and fingers to the bassguitars . Mmmmm . Sweet .


Stefano

Of course you can , hahaha . Big Smile .

Stefano

Hahaha , ... good . 

It is perfectly ok with me Peter , really . Feel free to delete the post . I am looking elsewere right now , and I made 2 other post to try to have some explanations from you .

PS . I understand it is confusing .
