Btw maybe Telstar can test the VF110 (with IRTrans architecture or TCPServ) for us.
WHEN his mobo arrives.

Just a thought Wink

Very much willingly!
I need to find another shop who actually CARRY my mainboard and that doesnt close all august unhappy

To keep in mind for those who really want to exploit this once the first steps have been taken : Don't underestimate the power of a transceiver (= receiver + transmitter); Once you have that on the PC side, your PC will be able to control just everything, and in the exact way YOU like. Thus, you aim your remote at the PC receiver, some program (script) turns that into what you want, and sends it out through the room, all your devices waiting for IR commands, similar to what e.g. a Harmony can do. In this case, however, you are in complete control. So, if you think you may want something like this, be sure to have a transceiver instead of a receiver alone (like the Philips I showed in the before post).

I DO control everything with my Harmony. The htpc being the only one not under control yet Wink
And not completed cuz of the fricking mobo. If only i can find a place with it really in stock... (Roy u got an email since u seem to know LOCAL shops which are really fully stocked...)

Roy, a few days ago I created a somewhat longer post which tried to tell you in a nice way (can I ? swoon) that serial is just not the route. I didn't post it afterall, because, well, there wasn't another good solution and I sure did not want to spoil your motivation which is VERY much appreciated, if not by others then by me. You know, this is -so far- a typicle subject I couldn't solve myself.

If he makes the IRTrans (which is usb) work, i think is all good, isnt it?
The IRTrans is of course MCE compatible. 2+2= ?
514  Ultimate Audio Playback / Chatter and forum related stuff / Interesting papers about time domain in music and transient importance on: July 27, 2009, 04:42:01 pm
Several of this points are known, thought by Peter, myself and others who frequents this forum.
http://www.physics.sc.edu/kunchur/Acoustics-papers.htm

There are discussions open on the asylum, stereophile and hydrogenaudio forums (i stay away from the latter 2)
http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=prophead&m=54733

A couple of notable points:
"There are no periodic signals in music. Everything has a starting and stopping point, and a lot of it is transient behavior. This hits at the very flaw of Nyquist/Shannon theorem."

Multitone signals are already 10 times better (to measure THD for instance), but lots of work has to be done in this subject.

I also know a person who confutes Fourier theoreme, because of time variancy (with digital sources).

IRTrans does things the same way like I do (just listens to incoming IR) and you need (or can use) the same prog. like IR-assistant, girder and winlirc and a dozen more you can give a try.
Only IRTrans can do more, like tranmitting a IR signal (but who needs that, a remote is transmitter), it can startup pc by remote.
Like to use remote to automate some more in future (prog or lights or security).

Gotcha.
I really need to install all and see what it can do. Maybe i dont need your help to do what i need with Console.

But IRTrans costs around 100 euros I believe.
Would rather spend that on a nice remote.

Harmony are good, i have their ex top of the line (bougth used). But for my next universal remote, I think i'll go for something else. Reason: the keys are bit wacko. two went off, glueing stuck them, but the other keys work fine. Until i find something really better. I'm aiming for an OLED touchscreen, also with better ergonomics.

But your audio-pc is almost finished, It becomes the center peace of your room, right?
together wih dac and rest.

That's the goal Happy
Need to improve the speakers before DAC.

I know I would really like to avoid that keyboard and mouse kinda shelf on the wall in a backbreaking position
selecting an album.
If you know what I mean.

I can almost do w/o keyboard.

But the mouse... still need it. About mice:
I have the mouse on a small table, where the monitor sits now. I just hate to get the mouse in my hands to do things. Besides the cordless desktop set mouse is of LOW quality. double click precision sucks. But I'm TOO WELL used to the awesome steelseries ikari. Been a fan of logitech mice in the past. Not anymore. NOTHING compares to the Ikari. I forgive them the first one that had a microcontroller problem and that i had to rma. Replacement is working totally flawless for over a year now.

And I thing more GALLERY TEKST IS TO SMALL to use your tv or 17'' for example
Don't say it must be bigger.
But just thinking about how to intergrate this in my livingroom later on.

Roy

Agreed. Also the explorer treeview text is too small... hmm all xxhe text is too small Wink

Note: you can put programs to load at windows startup just putting a link to the executable in the "startup" folder of start menu. I do this with Console.

My wishlist:
-control other programs (in particular Console, i need a button to have it load my configuration setup. I think there could be a command line option, but havent had the time to investigate). In console i need with remote the on/off button (it's the best mute for me). I have big issues with my soundcard drivers if i pause or stop a track, i need to mute through console first.
-more integration with IRTrans (not sure what u need, u said that is similar to what you are doing).

For better UI of xxhe i think we have to wait for the next release. I REALLY need that longer treeview.

Very sweet. Just in time for my music PC (once i get the damn mainboard)
519  Ultimate Audio Playback / Chatter and forum related stuff / Re: Hitachi 2TB Enterprise version * group buy on: July 22, 2009, 12:51:47 pm
i like to have 3. When its possible?

If I find takers for 14-16 drives, i'll get the exact price and then start collecting the quotes.
In early october the drivers should arrive. Depending on weight, an additional shipping cost of 10-25 euros will be added to each order.
520  Ultimate Audio Playback / Chatter and forum related stuff / Hitachi 2TB Enterprise version * group buy on: July 22, 2009, 12:06:32 am
These will be released in september. As usual, consumer (1-2 year warranty) and enterprise version (5y warranty and higher MTBF).

I have the chance of getting a stock of 20 (yes, twenty) of these drives, enterprise version, for a price that is probably 60% of MSRP (which means slightly more than a 1TB drive). I will take 4 or 6 pieces for me. If I find enough takers, I'll place the order in september. Beforehand, I will know the exact price (I'm not taking any margin). For obvious reasons payment must be in advance, i'm not bearing the risk.

Post below name (or nick) and amount of drives that you would be interested in.
521  Ultimate Audio Playback / Playback Tweaks and Source related subjects / Re: 4GB vs 8GB on: July 21, 2009, 09:16:56 pm
just wanted to let you know it doesn't matter for SQ.
2GB, 4GB, 6GB, 8GB, it al sounds good to me.

grtz


Tnx for feedback.
I suspect that 4G+ sounds better with not tweaked OS, where lots of resident cr*p suck resources.

How to set it up?
How to calcolate expected size?

Help welcome (also links) thanks.
523  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: WiFi Remote on: July 21, 2009, 02:05:02 pm
Telstar, you didn't read the forum at soundgraph.com or simon.com, everybody agrees the IMON-panel  is useless.
I have one in my htpc and cannot understand why they made such a mess of what looks like a great idea.
My  2 cents... unhappy

Well if your watch is broken you can see the time on your PC (if you can read the strange font...and don't wait to long.. etc.etc.)

Uhm i think i was wrong. I have IR Trans with my case.
My only fault is that i havent assembled the pc yet, waiting for the mainboard.
This is what i have:

524  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: WiFi Remote on: July 19, 2009, 10:37:41 pm
What i need instead, is some way to communicate with iMON (one of the most common IR "multimedia" receiver). That way i can use my normal remote (the Harmony).

Going to check W7 pre-rtm. The build 7264 is burned and ready to be tested :D
