Hi Peter,
It is all the time the same problem with electricians and mechanics, they don’t understand each other most of the time.
To make it clear, the SQ with the combination NOS1, W8 and XXH 0.9z-9b is the best I heard ever.
You made changes with the software (programming of a new audio machine) to improve the SQ, and there are also chances on the hardware side to improve ………. .
The article is writing about …… .
-Quote –
The Ethernet card has been installed and yes it is better than USB!
More control over sound, more organic, much more detailed sound. Also more analog sounding. Very happy to be rid of this unlimited windows tweaking."
-Unquote-
So the question is, why not test an Ethernet route with the NOS1 and hear the result.
Kind regards
Joachim

Joachim,
I won't say it is easy to so, but if you follow ALL what's written about it, you will see that there's much context.
This starts (today) with Windows 8 and quite some derivals of that.
So it's not much useful to refer to years back, plus - without reading - the reason to not use a RAMDisk per the topic you linked to has a context just the same. This already starts by everybody using 64 bits today, while back then this was not common at all and not more than 4GB could be in a system anyway.
So it is not so difficult to understand how views can change. And how environments change which make views change. And how an OS can encourage for it. And ... blahlahblah.
Regards,
Peter
Ok, there is another link http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=1592.0As far as I can remember, the OS was not the main issue for a minor SQ, it was the storage media. Joachim |

There is improvement in the musical qualities of the sound, however its still not as good as 0.9z-7-5.
Regards,
Arvind
XXH is very complicated with all the different settings possible. It is very easy to loose focus of the "right SQ" and therefore a reference system is mandatory. The SQ of 0.9z-7-5 was very irritating and I connected a CD player (Studer A730) to my system again. Release 0.9z-7-5 sounds with my settings dull and muffled, no sparkling of the cymbals etc. The SQ of 0.9z-9b with W8 is meets my preferences at best. Joachim |

Thanks Mani looks like you just about saved me from Peter's wrath - thanks.
I would not like to have incurred his wrath again after so recently receiving an "Off Topic" warning.

If this Happens (wrath) more than usual than something is wrong with the Fairness with each other inside the Forum. Joachim |

I'd encourage those of you still on W7 to take the plunge. W8 is the way forward... IMHO.
Mani.
Done. Excellent sound as per your & Juans post. The installation was smooth without any problems, except XXH will not activate with the new code. (OS minimize is rejected by the program and no red letters) W8 without any updates installed. SPL volume is at -6dBA via a preamp and there is an exceptional holographic soundstage. Joachim |
