Hi,
what is this for a CPU?

My intention is to use this one plus a LPSU with the RAM OS:

Hi Brian,

that's true, this RDC connection (with the 2nd PC via Ethernet) degenerates the SQ heavily, and since that finding the RDC is a NoGo for me and I have some training lessons to keep my weight

HI,

airy

Pertaining to treble which sounds light, delicate, open, and seemingly unrestricted in upper extension. A quality of reproducing systems having very smooth and very extended HF response.

Hi Stanley,

see here. Michael wrote about it first, and I hear the same improvement

Hi ALain,

a lot of us are now with the USB driver 1.04, but I don't know if that works with the NOS1.

On my system 1.04 favours the SQ compared to 1.03.

Joachim

Hi Mani,

nice to read.

Question: the price is excl. VAT?

Stunning SQ

Recorded direct to two track from the sound board

Hi Robert,

my room is not treated, but my listening SPL is well below 70dB(A) most of the time.
I'm using the "custom filter" setting 352800/High.
Made a short comparision between 16xAP/8xAp using Peter's "Seagull" record again, and in my opinion there is more ambience with 8xAP.

Joachim

"Laptop + XXHE + W10 = bad" –  Noo, it works (dependent of the processor!) if SQ has priority!


1)   I’m listening to XXH with 8xAP since 2 years only. Reason for me: more ambience & timbre

2)   The laptop processor is an i5-2410M with 3161 CPU marks, the i7-3930K has 12077 CPU marks. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-3930K+%40+3.20GHz

3)   XXH is installed on a RAM disc with both SSD’s.

4)   Peter’s recommendation is to cut down the CPU speed (i7-3930K) to appr. 0,5MHz per the BIOS, which is not possible on my laptop. To lower the CPU speed I’m using the “energy options”, selected 60%= 1,36 MHz & shutting down the GUI after 2min.

5)   Using various settings in X-Tweaks (XXH 2.03 + WIN10-10586) and the processor runs now in the “Turbo mode” with 2,86 MHz (normal 2,3MHz), the same result with  omitting X-Tweaks and MinOS. (every computer reacts/works different)

6)   On another SSD with W10-10240  + XXH2.02, the system  is running with a “third party MinOS program”. Processor speed remains at the selected 60%= 1,36 MHz in the “energy options”.

7)   Made some tests with two settings of the ”network services” and stranded with all ”network and LAN services”  shut down.                                                                                                                                                                  So, no remote + LAN, WiFi etc. and the SQ improved immense, and that not by a small margin. (more details, deeper bass; all CD’s are new for me again)

8 )   Another change occurred was the Volume setting (of XXH):  with ”network services”  on = 31, and without = 37.

Here, the best SQ on my system, ever.

Wish you all a “Happy New Year” and good health for 2016 and beyond.

Joachim

Hi Peter,

A nice second Christmas day to you all.

Question:
Did you test an “off the shelf” USB cable between the PC and Intona?

On CA (#22) suspicions are that in THIS connection the quality of the USB cable has less influence to the SQ than downstream to the DAC.

Joachim

He, he

got a new automatic update, it's now 10586.17

Joachim

Hi,

Ambience
(The aurally perceived impression of an acoustical space, such as the performing hall in which a recording was made)

comes prior to accuracy for me.

Joachim

Hi Peter,

I think the criterions mentioned stands for themselves.

If you like a very accurate system the Jitterbug is something for you, if you prefer more ambience, it is not.

With the Jitterbug you are moving from row 25 to row 1 or 2.
