Peter,

It's way OffTopic but is it possible to give the PHASURE NOS1 a aluminium or a black front?? I like aluminium but maybe a possibility to choose.

Hi Gerard,

The ASUS card is meant to be used through its analog outputs. By tossing the opamps you can modify its sound to your own taste if you think you should do so! The same with the opamp of the headphone-amp. The link of the card you name is about the Essence STX. The latest and the most interesting card is the Xonar Essence ST. So without the X! The STX is a pci-e card while the ST is the classic pci. It is a better way because it doesnot need the pci-e to pci conversion. Besides Asus claims to use a specially developped circuit to bring down RFI to a lower level. In the ST. which is intoduced in europe round Juli. (STX earlier in the year round Jan) Maybe the ST is not yet on the shelves in the US.
Btw. the ADconverter is NOT the Cirrus Logic cs5361, but it's better brother the CS 5381. So analog recording is in good hands too.

I must say the thing sounds really good in its stock outfit. Its up to you!
I myself changed my complete powersupply for for a big 60amps battery. The best way is to bring in the and 12Volts seperately on the Molex-plug. However there still was an SQ improvement by feeding the whole computer with the battery. Only my cumputer including the card draws about 2 3/4Amps!. I just use a two-position powerswitch which switches the powerline between off/charging and not charging/on. So I can play about the hole day uninterrupted if I like, and charge overnight with a little automatic 2,5Amps wallwartcharger.
Watch out that the voltage of the battery doesn't drop under the 11,2 Volts or so. Doede Douma (dddac.de) has a very simple device to control this.

Fun,

Ed

Hey Ed,

Thanx for the reply.... Hmmmm a battery for the pc that sounds interesting..... Happy

grtz Gerard....

Maybe the Asus Essence will be a better choice, now a days.

Hey Audiodidakt,

I have read something about the card.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/11709-exclusive-asus-xonar-essence-stx-sneak-peak.html

This is what i have read.

There is also an S/PDIF digital output featuring optical and coaxial output of Dolby Digital Live for those who want or need full surround sound. Make no mistake though, this card is designed to be an analog powerhouse above all else.


What do they mean by this... Meaning is this a normal SPDIF output?

Now search for a new soundcard....


Not..... Fixed my problem with the EMU 1212m... That now does deliver 24/192 spdif... So my Hong Kong dac now can do Arc Prediction.  Happy

Happy man overhere... Save's me 120 Euro.....  Happy

Well have send a email to Hong Kong yesterday.... They say that USB do not deliver 24 bit. Only the COAX and the OPTICAL does that.
That makes it easyer.... Happy

Now search for a new soundcard....

But now i understand why.... It now sounds like a piano....

So, how did it sound before ? (I am really curious)

I like piano too... but only if it sounds deep... The piano before sounded flat... Like the low notes do not come out the piano. And now the notes sounds seperate from each other.. it is not easy to explain but i like to feel the piano... befor it did not with this cd... I am sure it will be much better with your DAC.... But this makes me happy now....  Happy

Hi Leo,

Well i had the pleasure to receive a package from Hong Kong yesterday...  Happy

And have been very busy with it... I use the usb from the dac. At the moment i can only use Double an Quad. But no 24 bit and so no ARC. That does not work at the moment. I am thinking about a new soundcard with a spdif output.
Maybe that is the trick....  Grin

About the sound.... There was a day that Peter told that the album from Ibrahim was his favorit... So i bought it.... I thought that Peter has a very bad taste... rofl rofl
But now i understand why.... It now sounds like a piano.... So Peter sorry for that.... Wink
The 100 euro is well spend and i still have the spec mod to go like GerardA....

About the Delete button ... yea, good idea. But of course you know that when you keep that TemporaryData folder sorted on Date the current ones are always on top, right ?

Thats a good one did not think about that. The reason for the delete function is that a few people can use it when they are bug searching and dont need the rest of the log. But as you said sorting by date is a good one. Does it than also sort by time when there are more from that day?

I have been looking at the log files, and I think I see what the problem is. And it looks like you "did" that ... Happy

It looks like or during the playback of Smoking Gun, or during Folkvord Lomansson you clicked the last track, or possibly you added that at that moment. Actually, wasn't it you who told to do these kind of things ? (maybe it was someone else). So I guess it wasn't made for that. I can see if I can solve it though. yes No guarantees. nea

But first tell me whether I can be right on this.
(and I saw your just added post)

Peter

You are right about that i added some new. That's all i did.... (I think)  unsure

Peter,

The reason for all the different cd's in the playlist is that i have the idear (but i am not 100% sure) that the stop only happends when going to a new cd. There for all the different tracks are from different cd's.

704  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Music stops 0.9y-4 on: October 20, 2009, 11:57:51 am
Peter,

For a few day's now i nodiced that sometime's the music stops playing. This happends when a songs has ended and the next in line does not start. Today i tried to provoke it. And here are the log file's.

Since it need a bit of searching in the log files to get the right one maybe it is an idear to make a delete button in XX so that automaticly the map that contains the logfile's is deleted and you can do a fresh start. Today i did it manualy... Wich ofcourse by itself is not a very big problem but still...

Have a nice day....  Happy

Peter,

Maybe a bit like musterd after diner  Grin

I have been able to play for a few day's now and my findings are: Pure and crystal clear. The bass is unbelievable and very well placed. Had to lower it a bit though. (Never done that....)

Indeed the best so far and as you know just 16/44.....  Happy
