Hi,
A friend of mine pointed me to this thread:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/audio-issues-with-windows-10-please-read-this/18f62169-f660-4580-bd62-e7c029adada2?auth=1&Ocid=%23Outbound%20-%20Campaign_Social_TWITTER_windowsinsider_20150709_206177300&linkId=15426061

Which could mean that newer builds of W10 might be as good as 'our' 10074 build?

I use my iPad for remote connection. (rd client app)
Just reset the date on the audio pc to 1/1/2015 and rebooted.

Only a message on the client verification date but was easy to go around by accepting the connection.

No further issues. Still nice sound.....

Hi Peter,

This might be a good alternative for the swappable diskbay?

startech hsb220sat25b

Hi Peter,

Short question: why detach and re-attach the HDD? (So the hot-plug)

Just for SQ, or is there another reason?

When running OS and XXHE from RAM might the HDD be still attached?

Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

You are right, is for 3.5".

The 2.5" diskbay is the one combined with a dvd drive option? The TS03. I have had one of these as well in the past. Will check my old stuff if it is still there.

Else I will look for an alternative.

Hi Peter,

Just ordered the Silverstone FP57 which I think is the right diskbay.
Seems still available. Or am I wrong?

To me the price seems fair. So when available I will like to order one.

Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

I can switch to normal Sata again, no problem. Buy a Silverstone swappable diskbay and I am ready....

Do you have already an idea about the cost for only the hdd?

Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

And a pc based on the same asrock mobo and CPU will work with no problems?

I only do not use a swappable diskbay. But I could just stop the (esata) hdd.

Hi Nick,

About the bass performance, overhere we prefer the new 202. It seems to go lower and is less punchy. In other words more in balance with the overall sound. Before the bass could be a bit to much.
Last night for the first time my son listened to 202 and his first reaction was, what a good bass.

Regards, Arjan

FANTASTIC, unheard realistic.

Best OS ever, for us.

Hi peter,

Just deleted the XXdata and XXhighend2.00 folder from my C: drive.

Copied XXHighend 2.00 in again and started the XXHighend.exe. Did the minimum to run some tracks and activated.

The first time I just copied the XXhighend2.00 in started the .exe but also did all the settings including RamDisk. Before running tracks and try to activate. But that was not possible.

Hi all,

At least one sounds better. Using it now, really nice full and detailed sound. Also noticed by the more sceptical people in the house.....

Will off course explore all other filters as well!

Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

That might be the reason. I used ramdisk Yesterday.

By the way, the SQ is really good! Full and detailed sound.

Regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

Solved. Just installed again, no fancy settings, now activated within minutes.

regards, Arjan

Hi Peter,

I setup ramdisk already and all other settings that could be done without activation. Tried multiple tracks with and without ramdisk.

Tomorrow I will try a clean startup again. First without ramdisk, and try activation first.

Regards, Arjan
