Title: New settings for my netbook
Post by: Arjan on February 16, 2013, 01:10:21 pm
Hi all,
I know my current setup (audio pc, ap2 and dac) is not common but I like to share some of my findings.
On the netbook I tried xtweaks a couple of times with all kind of settings, but it ruins the SQ. The music keeps coming but with added noise. So I deactivated it via the notweaks file.
I also put the music files on the OS/XX drive. No more playback drive. This is for me a really big step forward! Larger stage and depth. Really pleased with is. Only problem the harddrive of the netbook is small (64Gb) so just a small part of the music files goes on it.

The netbook runs on battery power and the only connection is the usb to the dac.

But I am working on a new dedicated audio pc to replace the netbook. The SQ with the netbook I think is now almost 100% so I am curious to see the improvement with a audio pc.

regards, Arjan

Hi Arjan,

Well, don't forget to post about it when your new PC is up and running. But we -sort of- already can see it from your findings as of now with the netbook; they are quite "inconcistent" as it seems. :)

Have fun and thanks for sharing,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Yes, it seems inconsistent, but to my ears the SQ is going up. But there is so much in XHE that can be done. Still learning and yes a lot of fun!
