Hi Colin,
had some issues in the past too. Did you change something in hardware or software before?

Another question: Do all NOS1a users with silverstone card problems have connected the power via molex plug?

Georg

Hi Peter,

after reading all the posts I feel that one aspect isn't be under consideration: The Intona is powered via PC. Could there be any dependency on the PC with different power supplies, different USB ports or the used USB cable?

Georg

Not NOS1a but using Intona too. I switched the short standard USB cable and the Clairixia USB cable and compared the transmission errors counted in the USB receiver of the DAC. In both cases roughly the same error count is shown: 250.000 KS transmission packets and 400 KS error packets (should be syncronization). The plugs of the USB cables are isolated with sticky tape to cut the screening reliably and I'm using a standard Intona.

The next step in SQ virtualization?  Polyphonic Spectrum Shaper http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2016/01/13/celemony-melodyne-4-released-today/

Hope I do not push too hard - it's the best hardware component I could buy for the SQ ( ... the second best after Phasure NOS1 of course ) It seems that there was no isolation at all until the Intona isolator was plugged in . I guess that only NOS1 users can imagine what happened here after using he DAC with isolation Too much to write down here ...

Georg

Listen and enjoy as long as possible. If the worst happens after reboot you know which can be achieved when the actual SQ is gone

Hi pedal,

I'm using it too with Peter's USB cable.

OK, thought that simple filter would give some relaxation. Did not have in mind something like a therapy.

Georg

Hi Peter,

we got the basic idea from there http://www.tinnitracks.com/en/news/tmnmt-provider.

Hi Peter,

this time I have a slightly different proposal. Some of the music lovers are plagued by tinnitus temporarily or permanently as somebody in my family. Is a function possible, which filters out tinnitus frequencies measured by the audiologist?

Cheers,
Georg

It's a pity. The device is an additional module in the chain and it seems, that it's intrusing additional interferences into the system with regard to timing and whatsoever. So there is no easy silver bullet for SQ with galvanic isolated USB ...

Georg

Maybe something like this http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt211/slyt211.pdf is used.

It's another world - done again. Our fellow trekies are right -there are a lot of other parallel universes 

Among other aspects some of the positive surprises:
The noise level seems to come down - additional acoustical objects are coming up and delicate instruments and sounds become audible..
The parts of instruments plug together – e.g. guitar neck and body are represented in the correct dimension and at the correct place.
Every member of a big orchestra is more focused without loosing the big picture.
Bass benefits and is very quick.

Highly recommended even if the special installation of W10 10074 is not an one day experience 

Georg

That sounds interesting and seems to be an economical solution
