Yes I've had the same issue. I think the NAS(I'm using another computer) needs the same date as the Audio server to network. I could see the NAS when the date was current for both, but 10074 won't work until the date is put back to September.

Hello,

I have installed build 10074 twice and each time I am unable to get it to connect to the NAS music. I do not have any trouble making the connection on the newer builds.

Is it not making the connection because 10074 needs to be backdated ( I use Sept 6th)? Has anyone else had trouble with that build connecting to their NAS?

Thanks,

David

I agree with you 10074 is the best and I'm resigned to reset the date which isn't a major. Perhaps you would be better to find the date turnoff software switch and turn it back on in 10074!!!!

Will xxhighend 2.03 work better with 10074, or should one stay with 2.02?

When you use W10 - unlike W8 - you are going to play with the SFS. Somehow this is necessary or otherwise you can't find your sound at all. What I did with the above comparison was letting 10074 be as it was from the last time I used it (months ago by now). This implied an SFS of 0.09.
All good.

P.s. Save and buy a NOS1a 

As said, Windows 10 shows a tad of grey, although not many people will really notice. Anyway I do, and this is already because it's a character in the sound (of all). This disturbs me as I want all to be perfectly (??) neutral.

The nerd part springs from here :

Just *because* I now knew how W10 can sound, and which is with more snap, not grey, more sprankle, I could see through my own settings possibilities and what to do to obtain that same sound. Sounds easy, and of course I only hoped for it, at first.
I came to this idea after an hour of playing or so, hoping that the (now) disturbing sound would have gone away with things getting warmer (ok, knowing that 20 minutes of playback is sufficient for that).

I was deliberating my purchase of an LPSU, meanwhile thinking about your efforts, Anthony, and how I could survive or again get used to what I had been used to for by now close to 3 months.

My SFS had been at 12 for the past weeks, coming from my more common 4, but remembering what ~ happens when I'd dial in 0.2. I try this some times, because I found that the Wallpaper Coverart shows normally, which otherwise (SFS at 4 or higher) is sometimes problematic in the RAM version of W10. Yes, somehow.
But that 0.2 never lasted for long although I forgot a bit exactly why (but it can last 30 seconds before sounds gets stable (not "scratching") after starting playback).

Well, I did that know too (set to 0.2), "hearing" that it would resemble the LPSU better, in advance. And God knows why - that worked. No grey anywhere.
Again a 45 minutes later I changed it to 0.1, having in mind the limit (which is for me 0.06 or so).
Haha, way better again (and I never before tried 0.1 or lower with W10).

Watch out please, because I only listened to one certain type of music, and it doesn't tell a thing about more normal music, like with voices etc. (they could be extra nasty). So this again needs more time.

The day after, I could try to reason out what actually happens, and it even seems possible to tell something about it. That is, since I the past few days was able to sort of figure out why the LPS sounds better than the SMPS, assuming the mains itself as the culprit (and not the computer interface or PC itself with now "better" power). So :

Well, when I was correct in my surging and too much spiking on the mains - the SPMS implying it, then lowering the SFS from 12 (or 4) to 0.1 is a simple 120 (40) times less spikey or 120 times more smooth if you like.
Point of course is that this reasoning equals that other reasoning (read : more chance to be correct with it).

This way of thinking is new, at least for me it is. I mean, so far it has always been about a too low SFS is skipping samples and things become more sharp (and pinpointed !) because of it, though while this is true, it is reasoning like a drag because this can only hold true for the very lowest SFS sesttings (say 0.08 and lower) because you start to hear it (I do clearly at 0.05 IIRC, although this is W8). But nobody is going to tell me that at the change from 4 to 12 to 60 you perceive a more and more "dark" sound because of less and less skipping samples. Thus no real explanation (up to the very end, I mean) in the losing samples reasoning.

This surging thing ... I like it and indeed it will work all the way of the SFS range (say from 0.1 to 470). It is only that once the SFS is somewhat higher (like 2) it becomes quite impossible to reason out what the OS is doing internally, hence is going to overrule my own software for being spikey.

Peter

So ...

Yesterday was day 6 with the LPSU and it is glory all over.
N.b.: Right now we are packing it for shipment to the person who is going to mod it.

I already feel sad and I want one myself ... (the one I used is for a customer).

---

Yesterday, knowing that my standard round of 5 days passed in well fashion, I thought to try once again what I felt from the start to be better ... Windows 8.

Ohhhhhhh
was I right.

So far, only in between the lines I have told that Windows 10 isn't the better one at all. However, it performs better because it makes more music. But there's a grey-ish "rounding" flavour.

Big fun : with the LPSU this disappears largely. Maybe even completely. "Maybe" because it is quite hard to pay attention when things sound so good in the first place; as I told - nothing jumps out or disturbs and albums play and play.

Back to a week ago : remember that I started out with the LPSU not in mains earth, and that *that* completely failed. I started with using Windows 8 because I felt or hoped or just knew it should be the better one with the LPSU. But it was misery all over and I shoveled in Windows 10;
Was a bit better but still "non-sense" and then I found the mains earth thing (needs to be used). And then Windows 10 stayed in.

Up to yesterday;
The PSU has to go today, so I sure wanted to try Windows 8 once more.
What did I say ?

Ohhhhhhh

This time I received the "total accuracy" together with music.
Big fun again : I am not even so sure the distance with Windows 10 was large, but Windows 8 just plays "better". Really difficult to explain, but the performers are "better" when played through Windows 8.

---

So there's a difference of night and day between W8 and W10 when the normal switching PSU is used, and there's hardly a real difference between the two when used with the LPSU.

Now I wonder what this tells ...
Anyone with ideas ?

Peter

Hi, Anthony

Could you  please share what kind of controler you're going to use for the ATX start and shut-down ?
So I can leave my DC/DC converter and the relays I am using now?
Thanks,
Ed
