With this huge lead-in, I actually wanted to point out one thing only : that there *is* an instrument which sort of shows all of this : the steel pan (or steel drum - see picture below). But this is how I mean to say "I don't know how it works" because I can't reason out what actually happens in such an instrument that it can show ultra low jitter. Maybe if we sort it out we may find that it only plays "flagiolettes" (remember ?). So only the harmonics and not the fundamental. At least it sounds like that to me and it would fit the general (my) idea that the lower the jitter the better flagiolettes show.

But wait, because with pointhing out this instrument, all I did was telling you what kind of sounds will jump out and those with the Clairixa should recognize it. So this is this instrument itself (but I wonder whether I ever heard it via the Clairixa). But it would also be the "singing saws" (in the end just a classical instrument, apart from percussion as such).
It is all about sounds of which you can feel that the sound they express emerges later than the initiation of it. Think of the body of the sound which actually is NOT there if we talk about the fundament of it. Uhm ... think more physically now, and see how the sound springs *from* the body of the instrument.

Stanley, you had a sort of second round but we never heard anything of that ?

Hi Peter,

I assume that you are still using the isolated Silverstone card.  Is this correct?

After your 5 day "trial period" I would be most interested if you would perform a few experiments with the Silverstone and try it:

• not isolated from the chassis
• removed from the system and say use another card or even a mobo USB port

I have a niggling concern that the the Silverstone may still be affecting things given that the USB cables is influential and reportedly PC clocks are as well.

Do you think this is possible?

Regards,

Anthony

Stanley, essentially Yes. But then of course you can use the LAN cable to connect to the Audio PC directly (better think like connecting the Audio PC to the Laptop = your Music Server for easier functional thinking) - and use WiFi for connecting to the router (with WiFi capabilities).

OK, getting dizzy of it myself. Better make such small schematics yourself, so I can see what the full picture is. So notice that your case seems to imply a laptop as "Control PC", that also containing/providing  the music, but which connects to the Audio PC via LAN cable. Can be of course, but why to have the next LAN cable then ? Internet ? so then counts what I said : do that through WiFi (from the laptop).

Hi,

if you have a free USB port you can use an adapter.
