You saved my day
I calculated about 150 covers to resize.

Well, well, some ribbons do indeed sound harsh. they have a bump in the very HFs. And that's not the source fault.
I'll wait for y3, but i suspect that y version compared to x is more transparent and truthful.

I also would like the chance to add VST plugins, but that's not happening because it woudl compromise the SQ (Peter's words and I believe him).
There will be FIR filters and one can add the equalization in those (by means of secondary programs and not with realtime controls).

I thought I listened to i2s at the very beginning  then switching to SPDIF for a fair comparison with the other DAC.

If you read my post of 6 months ago, after the audition, maybe between the lines, cuz i dont remember, I said that the NOS1 sounded very very good, but it lacked that extra, the "emotion" that I'm looking for and that so far I got only from the Naim cd555.

By all means, Peter, go over the top with the power supplies (in particular for the clock*). I'm pretty sure some of the magic of digital (not sounding such, in the good sense) comes from there.

*if you haven't, take a look at Terra Firma XO writeup on their site (forgot who are they, but they are $wi$$).

OOOOK, looks like i have to

BTW, i'll be sending you an email later about an interesting speaker that i have found (before the vacations).

OK, I now gotta try unattended again

If I move the mouse, nothing happens, even if it brings on front the taskbar.
If I make active xxhe window or Console window, nothing changes.
If I browse through the gallery, there can be an occasional tick trr or something like that.
If I transfer files through usb or the lan, the trrr and general dirtyness are almost sure.

I have large buffers (2s) but they are not enough. Most is culprit of the poor asio drivers of the Quartet.
Waiting for new ones or your DAC, whichever comes first


I'll give unattended another chance, but i hate to not be in control of everything my pc is doing.

Trying to rephrase.
In the treeview on the left, would it be possible to rightclick on a folder and have an "add to gallery" context menu?
This instead of selecting all the albums from the library window?
Alternatively, a create gallery button or command to do it all from the settings? That would probably the best for the future. No hurry anyway.



I was referring to the "Nt" and "Nal" buttons, actually scambling them. The "Nal" button has no tooltip. I dont remember why you added it, but I preferred when there was just Next, which was readable.
I dont know why you chose to have only buttons and not menu commands, that would be easier to do changes/additions.


My requests are all for attended. I would really like the repeat track (infinite until i unckeck it) and repeat playlist.


I meant to move the order of one track in the playlist, using the mouse, to rearrange the songs in a playlist.
I remember it was broken a couple of months ago and I remember you told me that was going to be fixed asap. So my question was: has it been fixed?

The album list with cover art does not show for folders named with a dot in it. I didnt pay much attention until I read this thread. Then I removed the dot and it worked.


No, but i take some time (up to 2s i think) to choose the desired level, because the slider is very small and the text even smaller.
Until I release the mouse button, it shouldnt change the volume, that way this known issue shouldnt happen. Am i correct?

You got mail.

I did the gallery selecting the albums (by genre too). Not sure if faster than with the tick box, but i think yes, for genres with not many albums, otherwise scrolling is SLOW.

I have the prob of a few cover arts very big (like 2000x2000) and close to 1mb size, but overall I have less than 5GB of gallery folder so far and happy

Two things on the scrollwheel:
1) It would be possible to make it work just by putting the mouse on the volume slider w/o clicking it? (i just got an error again by clicking + one scroll up, very annoying -see the previous post). OR just when xxhe window is active.
2) To be a scroll of just ONE step at a time. This can be related to the scroll lines in the mouse properties in vista/w7. Can you verify this? I think the default is 3 lines and the volume jumped of 3 steps, which is obviously more than I want
This is the reason why i want it. With the screen at 2m from my seating place i want to just adjust the volume with one mouse click/scroll. If i had the remote working i wouldnt be bothering i know.

More things to improve usability:
3) Add to gallery working on the treeview (the explorer thing), instead of having to select dozens of albums which takes up to ONE MINUTE in my case. Scrolling in the library is VERY slow when exists highres covers. This is the reason why i tried to make a gallery today at last. And its working

4) Next and "NT" are too small and the second one lacks the tooltip.

5) Repeat playlist, repeat track commands, ticks or whatever would be very useful. i often like to repeat one track 3-4 times. Also stop after current track (note: Foobar does this).

6) not sure if reordering the tracks in the playlist is fixed now.

I noticed that a folder with dot also causes problem to the cover gallery. I just removed the point (it was ALT. ROCK replaced with full word).

BTW, Peter, the xxhe unexpected error with changing the volume still happens with y-2a to me. Tell me which logs do you need (the crash is a couple hours ago, though).

Not tried y2 yet, but before I went away I occasionally experienced an error (with sound stopping) after CHANGING the volume with the mouse in y1-d.

Because I usually change it only by one notch, would it be possible to implement the mousewheel? It would be very handy until I manage to have the IRtrans and remote working (which means rolling back to vista )

Shivers.
This is what I wanted.
I didn't get them when I heard the very early prototype of the NOS1. It sounded better than most digital sources that I have ever listened to but it dint get into the emotional level. I think (hope) you are there now. I just got back from short vacations and I think I have to fly again soon...

What UxSms does? Do you know the full service name in english?

I just put vista basic theme (not sure about SQ improvements) and stretched wallpaper and the cover art shows fine (thanks Roy for the tip). i also found the perfect size to fit most of the screen is 660px.

I will when i'll come back from the vacations.
I can say that even with those 3-4 extra services my pc is already as dead as Peter's.

I wont remove trustedinstaller, but i think that it can be a leftover of some program install that went not too well. Vista/w7 are very easy to screw up the installer.
I check the event log (the stuff that is not disabled lol) for errors after each important update/install/driver/change. There mustnt be errorrs.

But i'm afraid that i'll have to rollback to vista to be able to use the VFD/remote
