It's all system dependent. E.g. my amp has a little laid back mids and I think that special version adds colour in this range, but I don't like general presence of Special mode, especially top end. Like you said - adaptive feels organic and that's what I like about it.
PS
I've been experimenting a lot with hardware recently, I connected second PSU to 4PIN socket, which feeds CPU mostly, and connected drives to it as well. My primary, better PSU, feeds only 24PIN socket. Very nice improvement! I think I'm gonna try linear PSU

Ok ... and when this happens, did XXHighEnd come up automatically after Unattended playback ?
It should ... (after some 15 seconds or so).
It pops with the window telling me to set up a library. I don't use that, like total commander + drag & drop So it will forever and ever ask you for this. Better make a dummy folder and point it to there. Btw, you are missing 95% of the functionality now ...  Total Commander is functional too, but I'm gonna switch to XXHE library once I will handle missing covers  |

Something very weird just happened. I've been listening to Diary of Dreams album when suddenly the sound disappeared. OK, I start XXHE again, push stop and play again - nothing. Looking for process in task manager, nothing strange. I change the sample rate, try to play a test tone in playback devices properties - dead silence. Quick restart, hit play in XXHE and get horrible distrortions followed by To many buffer errors window.
I just experienced a similar situation. I had an album playing in UNattended mode and it completed OK. 5 or so minutes later I went to queue up a fresh album, hit PLAY, and when the GUI disappeared a flash of a error message appeared, but happened so quick I was unable to read it. Thereafter I was greeted with silence. No coverart or anything was forthcoming. ALT-X'ed back to GUI and tried again with similar results. Tried same album in attended mode and still silence. Went into control panel but couldn't even produce test tones from "Sounds" applet. So whatever happened during initial error, it mangled the resident audio driver code. A quick reboot and everything back to normal again. Couldn't find anything amiss amongst the system logs either which might have identified that error message. Will continue to monitor. Cheers, Russ This situation happened few times and it always occurs when playlist ends in unattended mode and I don't bring up XXHE again shortly after last songs ends. |

Playlist disappears when I switch from unattended to attended mode. I have to add tracks again. I think this is my confusion, which actually must be yours. There is no such thing as switching from Unattended to Attended, unless you mean "bringing up XX during Unattended playback". Do you ? That's exactly what I do and my tracks disappear while I'm bringing back the window. |
