I remember when i had a dual cpu i used scheme 2 as well. With a single dual core, I use schme 3.

I dont have a trial

BTW, I remember these steps:
1. setup the irTRANS as MCE, following the guidelines in the drivers install readme (if you have another receiver, set it as windows mce).
2. girder has a very intuitive interface. the time it takes is to learn that you basically have to make a folder for each command and in it the list of commands to give.
3. lots of use of the tutorial, trials and errors
4. basically, all commands are a macro (but without using the macro, they follow the order in which you put them):
ex PLAY (i'm going from memory of over 1 month ago)
[PLAY]
|-dont execute if xxhe is not running
|-play - put focus to xxhe window
|-keyboard - CTRL+P
|-xxhe window minimize

Since i use attended, i have a lot of focus and minimize/maximize window commands added to each set.
It took me a FULL weekend to get the best of it and use it fully. Only thing missing is a working gallery and tree navigation, because i couldnt give focus to the tree and because the cursor jumps are not accurate.

If you want, when i'm home, i'll send you my file (note that lots of buttons have custom names that i made in irtrans config).

I have one, but i didnt play with it yet

Philips makes some nice universal remotes which are not too full of buttons.

I use an harmony with girder as software, and IRtrans receiver builtin in my case.
When xxhe will have full support, i'll be 100% operative with the remote.

Cant it use bluetooth? (my iphone can, so asking)

Any connectors or cable on the signal path will be worse than a lossless digital attenuation, period.
But I also agree with you that the steps in xxhe are too broad. That's the only way he could make it lossless, so it's a give or take.

the lightspeed requires that the source and amp are ALREADY matched in impedance, otherwise you'll need a buffer (i.e. more components along the way).

Hi Ben,

Unfortuately all VST hosts that exist have fixed sample rate.
99% of my library is redbook, so i set that and xxhe with a definite setting (which is without upsampling in the main setup).

PS: Reaper never worked for me on PC.

I think he wants to build a cheap 2ch NOS dac able to play highres material.

Oh, I have another request Peter, if it's not destroyed, leave a spdif digital input - thinking to connect my tv.

With remote?

<-- lazy.


OK, thanks. You know how eager i am to listen to the "really finished" DAC

Only one thing.


So, there will be a volume control? I dont remember if you canceled this option or not.

The headphone out would be VERY VERY handy. Lots of people like to listen with those (not me unless i'm working), but also allows for an easy comparison with the normal system (amps and speakers), which would be VERY handy for me

How is the NAS connected? Ethernet, firewire or usb?

I think I know. But I wont tell

Whatever works for you.

Where is the gallery? If it is in the same path (i.e. C:\xxgallery , on the SSD in my case), it shoudl work fine.
I always copy the whole folder and xxhe worked for me so far.
Do this - copy it (duplicate the folder) and run it from the new location. Adjust the temp folders etc in the settings. restart. if all works good you can delete the old folder.

I suspect that v1.0 will come with an installer
