Title: Music stops with Phase Alignment engaged
Post by: manisandher on August 15, 2012, 02:54:25 pm
Probably related to http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=2156.0...

I'm getting a lot of stops when I engage PA. Interestingly, I'm using exactly the same XX parameters as I did with the last beta version of 0.9z-7 I tried, which didn't have stops with PA.

SOLVED! I just increased the SFS size from 280 -> 430

On my office PC (i7 860) with a NOS1, PA seems to work fine with the following settings:
- device buffer = 4096
- SFS = 430 (straight contiguous)
- Q1 = 30
- Q1x = 1
- PAx = 0

"Works fine" only relates to glitchless playback. The improvement in SQ is waaaaay more than "fine" (details being saved for another thread).

Hmmm... spoke too soon. Just got a stop, after about 45-60 minutes of music playing. I may try the Q1 factor at some point. But before this, I'll install 0.9z-7 onto Le Monster and see whether it fares better than the i7 860 I'm currently using.

Hi Mani,

Which version of z7 beta that you experimented with before the official release?  Mine is z709 which does not have the check box : "allow phase alignment". I guess Peter blocked PA feature in 709. When I first played around with it I thought I had it engaged until I noticed that I always had this _~_ on the cover art.

Thanks,

Dear all,

To avoid confusion, please add Q1 factor in your signature.

Thanks
Praphan
