Stanley, believe me. For me it happens just the same. I recall with this very situation that I have up because there was 10 minutes of "play time" left anyway, and rebooting the PC as a kind of solution was of no further use. I left that to the next day. Then, with more calmth and less annoyance I could recall what I all did the previous day ... an I set all back. Only later I learned that 80.19 does work. I suppose all above that works too. 60 and lower I think all works. 70 coincidentally does not.
Believe me, you are not "special" regarding this.

Broken NOS1 count is still at zero. Haha.
(apart from two or three I think who blew the USB interface by means of doing something which should not have been done)

Enjoy the weekend !

It may come across as strange to you, but the solution should really be to find a better setting of the Blaxius^2.

And I myself should not forget that I am using the 10/20 processor, which really produces a different sound than your 14/28 (which latter - as you know - again produces an other sound when set to be a 10/20).

Since a few days I have another spare 14/28 again, so I could try it and spoil myself with it again ...

Thank you Arvind, I indeed eperienced the same.
Btw, I ended up with 80.19, leaving all else the same.

The cause indeed is the actually way large implied buffer by Q1 x xQ1. This is actually illegal. You will notice when you, for fun, switch on the Running Time. A message will tell you that the time can't be updated each second, already when Q1 is 30 and xQ1 is larger than 3. If you continue you will see that the Time is not properly updated at all (this is solved for the next version).
This stuff is aldo the cause of tracks ending abrubtly (per album).

In the very end these are all anomalies of the strange combination we apply lately (like last 6 months or so) and which strangely never was tried before in all these years. Slowly we start to "find out" the real anomalies under the hood. But working on them (or some) ...

Hi Gerard,

Recall someone else had the exact same problem; ChangeWP.exe was simply not "extracted" from the .rar (because of virus detect again ?)

This XXHighEnd version is adjusted such that it won't be seen as having a virus. Notice though that this is XXHighEnd.exe only and that this thus replaces the XXHighEnd.exe which will currently let trip your virus scanner.

This is the most suspicious of all because this is just software (setting). Not that it is intuitive, but it is. And I bet you that this is since people are telling (you) a different SFS than 140.19. For example, 70.19 gives exactly your problem, while 80.19 works. And someone (Robert) suggested the 70.19 ...


If possible this is even more suspicious because it tells (to me) that you did not check the DC Offset, which, mind you, is quite consistently at the "1/-1" position after switching off/on the G3 version of the NOS1a (or reboot the PC or replug the cable). So earlier on you told about this all right, but this time you omitted the checking for this ? And switch off/on a next time and it is fine (also quite consistently).

Nothing is broken (I think) but you broke in to a relatively long time of "it works at this setting" and now suddenly all is "unknown" at changing something.
I had the same this week, up to rebooting by Audio PC which did not help ...



I can't guarantee it, but ...
Let me know how you fare.
Peter

Ah, OK. Thank you Arvind.

Maybe it is so that you ever back upped the bass somewhat ?
And yeah, possible I lowered it myself way long ago. So I'm afraid my question will be moot.

Also, maybe it will change with some more breaking in of Blaxius^2. I have the sense the mid is more and more profound and the cymbals longer and longer (and this could overwhelm the bass again, so to speak).

Best regards,
Peter

Maybe ChangeWP.exe is "blocked" ?
(see rightclick on that file, first tab - example below)

Peter

Hi Michael,

Thank you for sharing.

Things like the Driver setting or any other OS setting (that's what it is), is to be set in the BASE OS. Thus boot into BASE, change whatever you want, boot back into RAM.
That's all.

Regards,
Peter

Stanley - this is too strange;
Did you change anything else in the music room or even the house ?

and/or


What happend, you reckon, that this suddenly works ? (earlier on you told that that did not work as well)

Regards,
Peter

Arvind,

I recognize the urge to do this, but it is not something I like to change. So I sought it in different settings.
Are you using the settings I gave (did I ?) or did you deviate from that and only then got that urge to lower the bass output ? (and now end up with an overall better)

I am just curious because I held on and now don't have the problem (urge) any more.

Could be interesting ...

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Gerard,

If I tell you that this is related to showing the Wallpaper Coverart, would you be able to tell me what you changed in that realm ?

Peter

Stanley,

Sorry for a late response ...

No, does not make sense really. I assume you can not get music out of it either way, am I right ?

Did you try another USB port on the PC ?

Peter

Hi Arvind,

Check your folders on the higher levels, like in your case Tidal\ and whatever is above it (I use XXTT for that as per XXHighEnd setting in the Intermediate Files Folder);
There shouldn't be anything in there. Not any single file.

Best regards,
Peter
 

Hi Stanley,


Maybe ...
Does the same happen when you use the U USB input ? (this skips the Phisolator)

For further analysis it's easiest if you take of the cover and observe the green led you refer to in the left hand leg (on that PCB which is the USB board) when you plug out/in the USB cable (better is off/on the NOS1 but it's a bit chicken-egg when you don't know whether the cable socket(s) may not be right). Start the NOS Driver Control Panel. You can see various options, like
a. stays all dark;
b. turns solid green without flashing;
c. starts flashing but stops after 1-2 seconds.
d. flashes as normal.

If you never see anything good happen (which would be d.) then it's good to verify with an other USB cable.

Regards,
Peter

Dear Arvind,

You are able to seriously keep up the suspense ! For you too counts that for at least a week I was urged to ask you whether everything is all right. But I guess people like you are realy serious about the breaking in and waiting for that to be sufficiently so.


Yes, that is really how I feel some times. And for you too of course, counts that you are "fully on par" whatever that may mean to others, but for me it means that your judgment can easily overrule mine, us having the same system for all of its components. So who actually says that my own judgment and ears are right ?
you !

Thank you Arvind,
Peter
