Is Premium "lower" than Hi-Fi ?

Hi there Zheng,

I tried them all, and for me the first (CD01) of the Back was tested and works, the second does not come up at all, the third (Brahms) the CD01 is Yellow and the CD02 is OK, and the fourth again does not come up at all.

But as we know this may not tell all because it could be the difference between Netherlands and HK (I hope I recall that correctly).

We might try this :

1. In your XX folder there's a TidalSession.dat file; delete that. Restart XXHighEnd and retry. This will force a re-login at Tidal.

2. If #1 did not help, please email (not attach here) the now new TidalSession.dat file. This also requires your Tidal email (account) and password. You could change the password for the occasion, so I can try it for say this week; after that you can change it back to what it was.
Of course if you don't like me to do this, then it is OK (but won't help either Happy).

It can well be the Premium vs HiFi account indeed. Are you new to Tidal ? Maybe I forgot, but I don't recall having a Premium account (while still MQA is allowed). So with the help of your account data I can test it.
But possibly #1 already helps, but in that case I'd say that something must have changed underway and that at first you were logged in as HiFi account, while now (suddenly ?) it requires Premium.

I don't think I am doing anything with it. But for example, if you have the even lower rated account (??) that only allows MP3 albums, all would emerge with yellow borders because XXHighEnd tests for them not to be MP3 and "skips" them (yellow border) if not Redbook after all. N.b.: It works like this because sometimes what's promised as Rebook, at the "playing" level turns out to be MP3. This is rather a rights issue than something wrong, although the "promise" regarding you (which is also related to the country - HK) having the rights, is then a bug (somehow). Btw, this is determined on a per track basis, and when you (/ HK) do not have the rights to the first track, the album will be yellow bordered and inaccessible for Playback. If the first track is OK and a next track does not have the rights for you, that next track(s) is just skipped (the track number will lack in the sequence of tracks for the album, after it has been Prepared).

Long story, but it may help you to debug the situation.

I am not assuming that this is related to the current HK situation (if you are in HK at all), but this could also be the case, far sought.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Shreekant,

In one of your notes i read that xxh has to be downloaded to run HQP through NOS1a

I think you must have misread something. Thus, no need to use XXHighEnd whatsoever.

I will say it once again : I myself barely can get HQP to work, and as you can se in the other topic (I referred you to earlier), this is such a pain that *I* will never go there again.
And if you do it for SQ-hopes … forget it (or asks others who may be more objective than I am).

Regards,
Peter

Hi Gerard,

Bandwidth is length related. The longer the length, the more "roll off" at the high end. Thus higher frequencies will be filtered at longer lengths. For a normal interlink this officially already won't matter (by math), so let alone for this one (rated at a loss of 1.5dB at 100m).

Best regards,
Peter

Gerard,

You put the lot in
c:\XXHighEnd\

not in
c:\XXHighEnd\xx\

that's why.

So if you look at the XXHighEnd.exe in that folder, it should have a date of end 2017 or something like that. Run that, and you will see it is 2.10.
… But you probably won't find that end of 2017 version in there and thus you unzipped it somewhere else.

?

399  Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Re: Ryzen CPU core appointment scheme on: November 13, 2019, 11:12:29 am

Yes, interesting.

At this moment I don't think that any software can really influence what you are  talking about, and where it can, it has been done already (this is mainly in the XTweaks section, although not explicitly visible - the result depends highly on the combinations in there).
But what I would do (and btw, do indeed) is look into the BIOS settings, the C States and how they cause "interaction" at various levels. So, I would look into that anyway, and whether (API) code exists for that … I wonder. But it surely could exist. Point would be that it always would require a reboot to change those settings.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Gerard,

Yes, but the horizon is somewhere a the end of the rainbow.
But Yes.

The XX folder for the RAM-OS Disk is *always* in the C:\XXHighend\xx\ folder.
So fo 10586.0 too, as long as you booted into that (and you should with upgrading).

Yes, unzip the patch for 2.10 over it.

Peter

Hi Anthony,

Scrollbars are a waste of space. But if you are more happy with them, please go ahead.

I know the resolution is too high for a small laptop screen to be readable. I also honestly don't know who wants to buy that if at the same time the advice is to set the text to 200%. So Yes, that all is clear to me.
That things don't match now was to be expected (and you found out).
I don't know … maybe if you set the Music Server PC also to 200% ?

I do NOT have any good reason for having XXHighEnd full screen. However, any tablet is already fairly small for physical size, hence our thick fingers. So the larger XXHighEnd can be, the better it is for the physically more small screen.

Btw, I always have XXHighEnd not fully full screen because the XXOSK must be visible somewhere, so it can be selected if needed (by touch screen). Yours is set horizontally (so must go above or underneath), mine is square, so will go besides for a small piece (see below).

… And you can use the in the right-hand edge to remove (or set-back) the border from XXHighEnd (drag by means of grabbing empty space).

Hey Anthony,

What I miss is the [2] slider. Well, in Before.jpg you can barely see it in the top-right corner. I would drag that leftwards to begin with. It may not help, but it may help determining what is going bananas.

A good idea for all RDC connections is not to use the normal RDC-Edit for it, but to rightclick on the icon and choose notepad (find Open With Notepad from the context menu which appears after the rightclick.

See the attachment; It contains a few examples with comment about very generally what can be done in there, but *always* keep on using notepad from now on, because the normal Edit function will kill your changes (the to be saved settings are way more rough in there).

Keep in mind that it is a play between the Music Server PC which controls (via RDC) the Audio PC and the tablet which in itself controls (RDC) the Music Server PC.
None should have scroll bars, ans none should have eggs for wheels. It all can easily be done, once you get the hang of it. ... I am just thinking ... Here is the part of concern of my Music Server PC (RDC to the Audio PC) :

screen mode id:i:1
use multimon:i:0
desktopwidth:i:1366
desktopheight:i:768
session bpp:i:16
winposstr:s:0,1,129,53,1425,859

The winposstr may do nothing (I forgot). The 1366x768 definitely is the size of my Surface (V2 IIRC). So set that part to what the Surface will be able to do.
Always keep the font size (Windows Monitor setting) at 100% everywhere.

You probably will end up with all too small to touch. Solve that with the Scaling functionality of XXHighEnd (set to 2.30 or so via de button near the bottom of the main screen.

I hope you can get it done ...

The idea is to stream Tidal through your DAC (software).

Bert, then "the" idea is too much of your idea. It is not mine.
The remainder is correct.

That looks like an odd a. observation or b. a desire.

Hey Bert,

Tidal is not supposed to work on the Audio PC itself.
Maybe if I myself would try a bit harder I could get it going, but for starters and not to forget : the Audio PC does not have an Internet connection. That is, it shouldn't have.
Thus :

Prepare (Tidal albums) on the Music Server PC, play at the Audio PC as usual.

Best regards,
Peter
