I Dont think that you really understand, Tore:

Music will stay on external (seperate) HDD.
When "copy to xx drive by standard" is ticked, xxhe will automaticly copy the files to your C: drive in the XX folder (when you start playback) (does this standard with FLAC)
You don't even notice it, it takes just 1-2 sec for a song

Just read the tooltip on that function. (tick tooltips and go with mouse to that function)

The meaning of this is that when playing unattended, a whole album is copied to the C: drive and xx doesn't need data from that drive anymore.
So Vista shuts down that drive so lesser electric interferance/distortion (better for SQ).

Btw Peter or someone else were are those settings for shutdown HDD (standard I believe 20min) - Some power settings cant find them!!!!!!!!!!!

Just tick  "copy to xx drive by standard" and  play music,

then open your xx folder and see what happens.
file wil be deleted from xx drive after playback.
Just like a jukebox its loads a single.
But in unattended all files of an album will be loaded, why? because pc can shutdown HDD's.
Makes computer less noisy, result better sounding music.

Silence Before The Storm,

Must be a Hell of a Post coming up!
 

Does it work for you ? Peter

or just disable what you don't need, leaves you only with one device left,
 like in the pics thats the one to be chosen in xxhe.
see pics audio device must be the same

Hey Tore,

I think you need help,
But if you want help you need to be more specific
Describe your set-up as in what pc with what soundcard -->>what connection--->> what dac and settings
Playing a what kind of file from where.

If i can't help you Peter will, but describe your system layout

or maybe use those specs in your forum appereance. your specs under every post you make

1000% TEASER

Some very nice soundcards,

Have to re-consider my current set-up.
Maybe try one of these in near future ?
But there are problems with the Asus Essence as you have read (on this forum).
Maybe try the  ESI - Juli@.
The Infrasonic Quartet is harder to get here.

Can you play 24/96 files with your X-fi, Telstar?
Because mine doesn't

I think Peter did his job well
What big plans do you have for us, Peter !
How is progress on DAC.
And can you explain maybe, why (how come) W7 sound so different then vista.
Why DOES it even sounds different
Where comes it down too.
Because it sounded also good on a normal HDD.

Glad SeVeReD is doeing well also,
There are not that many who have a SSD for XX on this forum, I guess.
Telstar almost.

off-course

I will count them if needed,
But still nill.

Works like a charm, as well as the SQ

Listening to some Art Of Noise

Good morning, rise and shine

Just used Vista x64 SATA drivers on W7 works fine!
Think I have now less till none giltches between songs at all.
And in vista had it all the time.

But Telstar,

I would go for OCZ vertex 60GB or intel x25 80GB (It only differs 50 euros)
W7 is free till october and useable till march.(decide then)

Give it a try, it works stable here. (if you don't mess around with drivers)
And tweak to dead that sh*t as in all/off. services,device manager, logs (lots of logs in W7) all of.
Like to know what you (and others) think of it.

Never liked Vista anyway, hope that MS (finally) gives us a decent HTPC platform.
Only 3 months ago I went out for Vista Ultimate x64 (what i think was a rip off)
New SP2 should come out in december 2008 then april and still isn't there.
(and what is a SP anyway, a bundeld set of updates, what about new features or making things really better)
Making lots of poeha about W7, PEOPLE make a Vista SP2 first, lots of folks spend 200 to 300 euro for Vista already (MF'rs!)
And still not stable.
What we need is a stable platform to work on (if it was'nt for the audio I would still be on XP)
As foundation for our HTPC. (starting to get a little crazy here, several craches no decent means for backup)
Just want to install a (my) clean image, insted of install Vista and doing the settings every (fckng) time manually.
Didn't PC's were inventid for automatisation.
We got to have decent backup's because, how do you want to flash your SSD's then?

I, Mean can it get worse?
OS that tends to crash and cant do back-ups.
money well spend, guess not!?!?

So it's out of MY system by having said this.

Roy

Here some nice info:

Install W7 info

Compare Test SSD and W7
http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1719/windows_7_beta_vs_windows_vista_sp1_ssd_performance_compared/index.html

Yes, you could be right, but the difference is hugh, with Vista on SSD sounds very cr*ppy.
So, thats why I choose W7
Find out for your self.
I ain't that happy with the soundcard, but rather wait for Peter's super-duper NOS1 DAC.
Instead of investing in new card.

Peter,

Just send you email.
With language packs,
Maybe it works.
Thnx for that astacus21!!
