Peter,

i have done pkt 1-5 and it looks OK
Still on 18, processor speed 1800

Tore

Cowboy Junkies i like very much but i have not heard that album.
I will check it out :-)


Tore

Hi Peter,

Last time i entered Bios i was in MinOS

Is that OK ?


Tore

Natalie Merchant is new to me (thank you Zheng) , what a great artist.
She has  three album on Tidal  in MQA, the SQ is top with XX 2.10 and my new Stealth PC  :-)


Tore


 

All Core was goling from 18 to 24 after the last XX01 load

Is this normal ?


Tore

Yes, that is done

The other things i did was because it looked like Turbo  Boost was going back to Enable

But not now :-)

I did pkt 1-4 , after that Turbo Boost stayed at Disable

Now i have loaded XX01 in Bios. Then CPU Cache Ratio and BCLK frequency is back to Auto. (this is why i tought it was not done anything with CPU speed)

After that i have only changed Turbo Boost to Disable and CPU Ratio back to All Core.

When i enter Bios Turbo Boost is still Disable

Tore

Peter,

1. Turbo Boost : Disable
2. CPU Ratio : back to All Core
3. CPU Cache Ratio : 18
4. BCLK frequency : 96 (lowest possible)

Does it look OK ?

I think it was not done anything with the CPU speed when i got my PC
(nothing under "XX01" )

Tore

This time Turbo Boost stayed at Disable :-)

Will test it now


Tore

I thought it was interessting for you

Peter,

have you seen this :

Tore

Peter,

when i disable Turbo Boost in Bios CPU Ratio goes  from All to Auto.
It is posible to turn CPU Ratio back to  All, Save and Exit
But if you go back to Bios Turbo Boost is back to Enabled ?


Tore

This album with Diana Krall i think has a reference soudquality:

MQA: https://tidal.com/album/77644037

FLAC: https://tidal.com/album/73364268

I prefer the sound from MQA but it is not very easy to hear the difference in my setup.

I think the soundquality with XX 2.09, NOS1 and new settings is best ever

Thanks Peter, the winter is not so long with this SQ 

Tore

Peter,

it is like that here too.

Every time i open XX it is like this :  Time Stability - Use Refresh

When i use refresh i get Time Stability Stable - Stable

When i get from Unattended to Attended it is the same : Time Stability - Use Refresh

Tore

Peter,

my link is working fine in both Tidal and XXHighEnd

Your link opens the album in Tidal but when i press "Play in Tidal" the album disappears.

Anthony`s link works in Tidal but not in XXHighEnd
