Ultimate Audio Playback / Your questions about the PC -> DAC route / USB Cable - Magic or placebo?

Hello you all  Just want to say a few words about my experiences with my new USB cable. First the hardware: Entreq Konstantin 1 m 2400.- SEK. http://www.entreq.com/default.asp?PageId=2360. The sound as ordinary USB-cable: - not worth the price, but much better than the black that usually following the Dac etc. on all parameters. Entreq grounded at the pc-cabinet: Better, more relaxed sound - not laid back - just more quiet. Grounded in my powercord`s ground. (I have ground cable for my electric environment around my house in 1m depth): MAGIC!! what is this? the sound is so much better, with smoother hights, faster and more accurate bass and closer mid. And last but dont least, the sound stage is bigger, and everything is more relaxed.

Hello Peter Thougt I had to dare using the PA now, with the version 3, but I get the same crack/beplop sound at end, and while stopping playback as the others did before. did I misunderstand anything? thought it was safe now. tried with the fade out step as well.
Regards Arnt

Ultimate Audio Playback / Your questions about the PC -> DAC route / HiFace two problem

Hello Peter M2Tech has come with a new HiFace called HiFace TWO. I was the lucky owner of one, until I discovered that it would not play with 24 bit files in KS. Have tried the old driver from HiFace but it is still the same. Is this is an driver problem? Is there anything more I can do to solve it without a new driver? Just ask for more info if you need, and I will try to answer as good as I can. BTW With my new pc I have come a long step furter in my low cost to HiEnd project, that means that I am not one of you lucky guys that have an NOS1 dac yet. Keep up the good work  Arnt

Ultimate Audio Playback / Your questions about the PC -> DAC route / Re: Can't play 24/192 files

Can't you both proove it's the HiFace my means of using the motherboard's SPDIF-out ?
I don't have the possibility to try this, but I know that my DAC is capabel to play 24/192 files. I did not say it is the HiFace that is the problem of no sound from 24/192 files. There is no problem with playing 24/96 files (or lower). Can it be that there is not enough memory? 1Gb on Ramdisk of 2 Gb total. Task manager shows that there are 1.97 Gb memory in use when i play 16/44.1 files with x2 AP.

I have now used the HiFace for a while, and can play 16/44.1 with x2 upsampling but not x4. When I start playback, XX starts to play but there is no sound. I use 3 m Coax cable. My DAC is 24/192 - coax in. I have tried several SFS settings, but that make no differens. Can anyone help me? PS! With x2 upsampling XX sounds very good

Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: 09-z1 and AP x 4 16 bits

I understand! My DAC has a cs chip which can receive 24 bit, but not on the usb, it was therefor a surprice that i could use the AP 16/192 in the first place, (only from the 09z of) ( I dont understand all the technical stuff). But, in my system the soundstage was better and there was a lot more air between the instruments with AP x4 + invert ticked, so to me it was better. My DAC upsample to 24/196, and i can not switch that off.  BTW! The XXhighEnd has shown me that a low budget system can give excelent sound, and it has maybe reached the limit for now. I`m still on low budget, and the next thing in are the hiface (maybe the new one http://www.m2tech-hiface.com.au/index.php/news)
