Sort of a strange situation here. Never had a burst of noise problem with 2.07; however, since I reverted back to 2.07 from 2.09, I've now had the problem 3 times. Two of the three times the burst only lasted a second or two then music played. One time music stopped completely and I had to reboot. That I would get the burst followed by music is likely due to my small SFS with 2.07, which is .02. With 2.09 my SFS was 1.0. At some point I may try 2.09 again but I started hearing a bit of harshness with it that is absent in 2.07. Perhaps some saved file from 2.09 was preserved when I switched back to 2.07 from 2.09?

Peter, I'm trying to go back to 2.07 from 2.09. Unfortunately I somehow lost my 2.07 backup folder, not sure how I did that. Anyway, is it okay to paste the 2.07 patch over my current 2.09 folder?

 Pick the tracks you want and put them in the playlist area you can move them up and down into a particular order. Then in the lower right-hand corner where it says playlist there is a box, in there  type the name of the playlisan click on the save button.  it will save the playlist in your data folder

Sure looks like it!

Came home from a work trip last night and had just a few minutes to play some music. I loaded the tracks from Abdullah Ibrahim's "Sotho Blue" CD into the playlist area. I grabbed the first track, Calypso Minor (Fantastic if you haven't heard it!) and dragged it to the bottom of the playlist. So track 1 was now the last track which I then selected and hit play. After about a minute I had the burst of noise which scared the sh*t out of me. Until now, I had been playing 2.09 since its release without any issues.

With the burst of noise came the following error message:

"Check File Format
24 bit second stage Crack Detect >455"

The track is 16/44 not hi-res. I was playing with a SFS of 2 at the time. Hope this helps solve this issue.

Thanks!

In the past I have only applied the "new version patch" after reverting out of minimize and booting into the base OS. Is this necessary or can I do all this in  minimized with the OS loaded in RAM? Just unzip the patch over the 2.xx folder?

Thanks Peter. I hadn't got back to this but will now wait for the fix. In the meantime am using 2.07.

Thanks Peter, will try those settings. Probably take a few days as we are away for the weekend.

 Peter, in unattended, volume won't change using laptop/server keyboard commands ALT/U and ALT/D. Alt/X (Stop) works fine. Same result trying the XXOSK. Otherwise, works and sounds great!

No problem, always looking for that next tweak! 

After looking at the site I think Peter's right, that's why i asked if it replaced that Seasonic PS, cause that's the one I have. Perhaps, though I don't know for sure, the improved SQ your getting Joachim, comes from going to a fanless PS from the original PS with a fan. My Seasonic was quite an improvement over a high end Coursair that had a fan. I'm not sure that the one you've found would be an improvement over the fanless Seasonic. However, for about $800 Hyponex does sell a linear 400w PS, though its huge.

Thanks Joachim! Did this replace a Seasonic fanless  400w PS?

Data lost but disc scanned for errors, so it was worth the try.n Thanks

Thanks, will give it a try this evening. Hope you and the family are having a fabulous vacation.
