Yes, 2011
 

I will read all tomorrow Nick,

But again THNX for your great effort much appreciated.
 

Enjoying some Jan Akkerman - 1994 - Blues Hearts over here.

Thnx,
 
Only 5V and 12V  is needed for newer hdd's, right?
SSD only needs 5V. (maybe cutting away some acces wiring)

If it can make a difference I will think about seperate PSU's on MB.
Maybe I wait for NOS1 first, then do a litttle experimenting.
First powering soundcard and clock, then maybe try sep. psu on MB.
In this order.

This is nice info Nick, Thnx for sharing your experience

What I'am interessed about is this:
I can only imagine what the difference would be when powering your soundcard seperatly, this is pretty important IMO. (also shielding and galvanic isolation ofcourse)
This is a must !

But would taking it step FURTHER, as in give the MoBo a seperate PSU plan, result in better SQ ?
Is this because of stable powering or reducing the EMI/RFI ?
And what should need a seperate psu: RAM, CPU, NB, SB, SSD or all?? and why ?
(hdd's, vga and fans (maybe 1 case fan in there) should already been removed)

And how about booting (start-up)(+12V line I belief is the one being switched)?

Very interesting discussion btw.

Roy

My mobo has like 7x +12V, 4x or more +5V and some +3,3V (what needs +3,3V ?)

Russ,

There is a new album of: Robert Schroeder - Taste It (2009) hehe

Check this site also:
http://www.groove.nl/

Would also like to thank Massive Attack for there great and innovative music, for me it all started there.
(New and long expected album will be released in feb 2010, pre EP release is out now!)

Hey Eric,

Classical is not really my thing but, will give this a new try with better equipment and setup like the NOS1.
What would you recommend, what are albums I should listen too IYO or anyone's ?
I really have to push myself doing this, but with some good advise, who knows............


Roy

If you have seen the movie The Wall, you won't last six months on that "deserted" island.


This is what its all about, Shulman is such an artist who mades his own equipment just to do what he wants - SOUNDSCAPING !
This will be the next generation of electronic music, great (out of this world) sounds and dynamics.
There is much music like this, my radar is always out looking for those artists. (Entheogenic, Bluetech, Tripswitch, Younger Brother, Omnimotion, Sounds From The Ground)

But if I have to chooce, it will be a genre with all the electronic artists Peter and Russ and I already mentioned before.
Very curious if other people have heard of these strange electronic artists or willing to give it a try.

You want soundscaping check these labels:

Hey Russ,

Hope more people will express them selves about their choice of music
and make a nice section on the forum about it. (Together we know all)

Also like to add: (electronic artist and from Holland ofcourse)

Ron Boots in studio with KS:

Hey,



I can do just the same here (shunts black gates and all), I have all materials here, BUT

How to give the Juli@ its own PSU, can I just disconnect the lines from motherboard and then connect my own PSU on soundcard ???
what are the powerlines of PCI slot or Juli@ anyway.
I think they even maybe holes for it in the soundcard to connect a psu 
Hard to find datasheets on the ESI Juli@ and the GA-EP45-EXTREME

Anyone??

Would love to share my findings ofcourse.

This is NOT my pic, but can make some of these changes too. (even splitting the card of its analog part made SQ change)

But what if,

What if you don't actually play the files realtime.
Just sending them over to your NOS1 (nice buffer), and then commence playback from there.
pc is just server (or should say HDD's), so no interference what so ever. (no I2s, no clock, no shielding (disconnect after recieving)
Feeding the baby, and it will keep playing. (think streaming)
So we have CD-player again. (who pulled them apart anyway, dac and drive and this never worked out)
As in Real Unattended, can I be wrong (with embedded settings ofcourse)

Key here is embedded settings, or should I say pre-handle script.
DSP, does no sound that strange afterall, putting output data from RAM in script, commanding DAC to handle from here on

aha, hehe

Nice

You were too quite on some subjects, why would he not be interessed, I just wandered (then is hits me)
I get it, just plug in your big XXL USB stick in DAC (as in a rig of 10TB HDD's as in pci extender).
Pc will be total commander, nothing more nothing less, so we have our pc back too.
No procceses just some commands will be sended when needed.
And have means to remote control to whole bunch

Thnx for making my PC a rather expensive means of enjoying my cover art
And you were planning to say this when.......? (but maybe you already did, but just as not listening)
Now I can make sense out of it all
Just walking the paths.

Maybe there would be even some Phasure (test cases mostly start with an x, referring to the name thing) energy settings for unattended mode maybe.
Would we want this, most energy settings can be software controlled, so the option is there.
Could this be usefull for us, you have the answer, knowing the behavior of xx during unattended, could things go more quiet.
when determined lowest possible energy settings during playback.
Just to keep it alive and perform unattended mode.
So could we improve the standard energy behavior of Bill to hour own needs,
I know you doing some work on getting full control over "going to sleep" with HDD's

But maybe its just nothing, I dunno


 

kinda dynamic energy saver meets software overclocking (underclocking for us)

But than again, it will only use more energy during playback, and it won't work to hour advantage

haha, (sneaky laughin to himself)

Dedicated Audio PC, no FUCKING way, without Dedicated PSU in PC (unit for whole pc, complete plan, hehe)
There is almost no info nor experience about this, anywere (and maybe no need for it anyway, it effects only "us")
But for us this is of ATMOST importance  , we should take the lead in this, as being frontenders.

Will give more info, how this came to me.

This matter should not be taken lightly, why, I "hear" my motherboard, even stumled over a Gigabyte flaw."
A "bad" pci slot, first hearing this, then found out about it on the internet. (learning thru hearing)
Will explain more this week.

Hope I don't interfere (overlap) with some of your current projects, Peter, you succeding very well with  leaving us in the dark. (maybe with PCI and soundcard stuff, but again I don't know)


Object take an overclockers board, tweak it, ONLY leaving the "core" we need and add (homegrown) PSU unit.
Depending on your needs, let say keep it around 400 euros. (just PSU plan and parts)

Would you....................... ?

Peter, you spend it on just an PCI extender, do you give me some room proving this, not knowing the outcome of it.
Will not accept current common solutions, this carpenter will build his own, I know for sure.
Its not that hard doing a beter job ,doh

yesterday spending my whole day with my motherboard in my hands, its just all so wrong.
Things are complex the way the are right know, just start peeling.
What we already suspect, is the case here, doubt everything.

Roy

And SeVeReD how is progress on W7 install ?

Welcome and join the club (of other nutcases),

Aways nice to have people around with some skills.

 

How about this one,

http://www.lcaudio.com/index.php?page=6

take analog output from DAC chips and feed in this anlog endstage the ZAP-Filter with seperate shunt-psu.
