Arjan,
To checkout new music, I sometimes play Spotify through the Phasure NOS DAC1. No problem, just turn a switch on the DAC.
And the SQ surprises me........

Cheers

Peter,
this is a real TOP achievement!!
Total black background, which allows the music to dance in the room.
I now become aware that previously the artefacts had more influence on my experience than I was willing to admit. And now we are free (again) to enjoy the artists and their great creations.
Thank you very much........

Cheers
Eric

Peter,
ChangeWP.exe (version XXHighEnd-09-z8d-x) has been classified by HitmanPro as a Trojan.
There is no doubt in my mind that there is no problem with that program, but I wonder if I am the only one who is getting this warning, or someting else is going on in my environment?

Cheers,
Eric

S U P E R !!!!!!!

Congratulations and happy new year!

I would call it: totally in balance.

Can't wait for it!
What is the main feature of 0.9z-8 Peter?
Or is it more like a collection of various things?

Cheers,
Eric

Peter,
that is exactly what I did: testing with HPET off.
And yes, the default setting was on.
And I like the result in terms of SQ.
So, the tweak works for me in my setup.

I hope your confusion is gone now.
At least on this subject...... .

Cheers
Eric

My first impression is that switching the HPET Timer off results in better SQ. The soundstage is wider and deeper, and more inviting to listen to details.
I am going to keep this setting for while.

Cheers
Eric

Peter,

Thanks for you extensive comment.
Since I just started to use the RAMdisk as the (only) pagefile, I do not have any final judgement on every effect of it.
What I *do* know is that my userexperience with the XXHE UI really got a boost from it.
Just for the heck of it, I like to invite others to invest 15 minutes to give it a try, and see what happens.

Cheers
Eric

If you like to move your XXHE UI experience to a whole new level of fast response, you should try the following:

How to make a ramdisk in windows 7 - YouTube:

Basically you define your pagefile running in RAM.
If you like to use RAM as your XXPlay disk,
I don't believe it can work. However I didn't try.

Cheers,
Eric

Peter,
in my case I am having 1 album loaded in the playlist. All tracks of the album are HDCD. No mix with non-HDCD tracks.
The problem occurs only when I Stop and (re)Play the same track (say: t1). There is no problem when I Stop, select a different track (say: t2), and Play. I could Stop playing t2, and select and play t1 again: no problem.
   
After the Error message appears, I always first push the Stop button in order to remove the message. I also tested Play again after that. What happened is that usually the same problem occurred (Error message). However, occasionally the track starts playing without a problem!

I can live with the workaround above. So, although annoying, I would say it is just a minor problem.

Thanks for your efforts!
Cheers
Eric

Ah, I see.
I found PresetLoader them and sent it to you by mail.

Peter,
there is no SettingsPreset.XXSI file in the folder XXHighEnd-09-z7-5.
However there is a SettingsReset.tss file. You don't mean this, do you?

Cheers
Eric
