Hi Peter,
There is a reaction on this statement in pcworld of 21 May 2015 stating:

It was intended to help data center and enterprise customers understand what could happen to an SSD—but only after it had reached the end of its useful life span and was then stored at abnormal temperatures. It’s not intended to be applied to an SSD in the prime of its life in either an enterprise or a consumer setting.

Maybe that will make more sense....

Hi Alain,
The behavior off your led lights is the same as with mine. Because I leave the power on, separate linear psu, it is now blincking. When the pc is up and running it becomes non-blincking.
I have asked for non- blincking, so I thought it would not light at all, but that is no issue, because the isolator is out of sight. And when running it is non-blincking......so as asked for.

Hi all,
Got my Intona isolator today. Running it now, at first the dac was not 'seen' anymore. But after some switching of cables that is okay now.
I use a standard Phasure usb cable from audio pc to isolator and Clairixa from isolator to dac.
Result? Really good, for me it is not a night and day difference but the low and highs are more beautiful. Yes I like it very much so far, but that is after only 1 hour listening....
Regards, Arjan

In the CA forum discussion on the Intona I read more about this as well.
Also someone tested it with different usb cables, it seems that Intona should be close to the dac?
But with the short Clairixa we can test that our selfs.

Regards, Arjan

Yes, I ordered the Intona! So Peter put me on the list for the 20 cm Clairixa.

Thanks Peter for the answer.

I do not use the audio PC for Tidal downloads. That is just done on another laptop.
I remember that there was one difference from other RDC I do normally, this Saturday morning I used my laptop instead of the Ipad. That made this LAN connection disappearing issue starting.....

But no problem, I will do a re-install. Plenty of time the coming weeks.

Hi Peter,
Starting yesterday morning I have the issue that when running unattended, with Ipad as remote on RDC, the LAN connection disappears. (but not all the time) I starts again when the music finishes, but also not every time. Then a restart of the audio PC is needed. And that sometimes hurts the xxhighend install, I had to reinstall xxhighend because it did not startup anymore on Saturday nd I was hoping the issue was gone but not....

The issue still exists, LAN disappearing 1 on 3 times and also the min SFS of 0.12 is not possible anymore. With 0.12 I get stuttering sound. With 2.00 it seems fine.
Before 0.08 was possible...

Any idea what the issue could be?

What I saw on the screen when LAN disappears is:
...system32 cmd.exe - tasklist /fi "services eq gpsvc" /fo list

Maybe a clue?

regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

When I do a Tidal prepare stream for Sufjan Steven's album Illinois, xxhighend crashes after an error message about track 8 not being available.

When checking in Tidal there seems to be some "" in the title. That might be the issue?

regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,
That was an easy check, could have done it myself.... (and will next time)
Thanks, I really like the already the current Tidal possibilities. So it can only get better.

Hi Peter,

Justin Bieder (yes, I know) album Purpose gives an autorisation error from server on track 11.

But I also notice a weird sign in the name:
11 - Where Are Ü Now.flac

Maybe that is the issue? And not autorisation?

Do you want us to send you these kind of issues?
regards, Arjan

Yes, that works. Internet page of PayPal still looked weird but all went fine. Thanks, now more listening with tidal.
Arjan

Hi Peter,

I ruined my activation on the RDC audio PC. Activation via internet seems not to be possible because of certificate issue or something. Paypall login not allowed.

Is there another 'easy' way to activate?

Else I will have to install a videocard and run the PC normal again. No problem but will need some time.

PS I am testing Tidal and it seems to work fine, until.....

regards, Arjan

Yes, 203 is better then 202 with 10074!

More bass definition and more air in the highs. I like it very much.

Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

Put me on the list as well. Yes, something new......

Short question: I currently do not have a videocard in the computer. It runs via rdc from the iPad. Will it be needed for the first startup with the new drive to have the videocard in again? Because rdc will not be possible out of the box? What do you think.

Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

The link is okay I think, and if it is standard text or not I do not know. (for me it is all new....)
What me made thinking was that the text is talking about build 130-162 having issues. And we are on 074 so before that! Maybe build 166 and on is as good as 074 again? Just hoping......

But for now I am happy with build 074 and will stay away from RTM for my audio pc it is.
