Okay, understood. It is a common problem but I do not want to waste the energy...


No, it does not help but perhaps you could enlighten me by telling me that this problem will not occur with the NOS1 through USB?

Bert

Hi Peter,

I would like to have the PC running (ie on stand-by when not used) but once it went to sleep I can't get any sound without rebooting.

I can prevent it from going to sleep but then the remaining activity while I am not around is only consuming energy and to me this seems a waste...

Any ideas? Perhaps it will not be a problem after the USB upgrade?

Bert

.. which is a good thing!  

No extra's that should not be there, no stressing artifacts making things annoying and giving me thoughts to do something else (walking the dogs, watching a movie, etc.)

After a few hours listening last night it now sounds interesting enough and making me curious about more music again.

Before some music sounded great, some music sounded not interesting and some music even sounded annoying forcing me to turn down the volume (which still does not work properly making it frustrating...) but now I am not so in a rush to turn down the volume and can hear it out.

I am back in the game again not being sorry to have bought the NOS1 and using XXHighend again.

Thanks for giving me back the music!

Bert

PS I wonder what the USB upgrade will bring me on top of that...  

I had the same situation which comes from previous Coverart Settings. if you would uncheck "Don't do anything with Coverart at all" and after that unchecking the various cover art settings things will work as intended when you check "Don't do anything with Coverart at all" again.

Bert

Yes, but Windows doesn't like a colon to be used hence the choice for a dot...

Bert

Probably yes...


That's for Peter to decide I guess and being a perfectionist, wouldn't it be nice to be able to tackle the issue. At least that is what I would do...

Bert

Indeed it is a dot but it looks like a comma in XX (probably the used font) hence the confusion.

Bert

Hi Peter,

Not sure if I will see it in the future but now I do and it is annoying to watch. Not sure if this was mentioned before but if, then sorry for the reminder.

See picture.

Bert

I love convenient but only if it sounds good....which player are you using in the mean time?

Bert

I know that...  I just do not want to bother you with my "user" problems.

Hopefully giving you more time to get me in line sooner for a major hardware update!

Bert

Will do, thanks for the tip!

Bert

Okay, then the quickest way to work would be to re-install (clean partition) W7 without any updates. At least until all is working well (meaning XX and related things).

Uninstalling all previous updates will take forever!

This means that I'll loose my activation (again) or is there an easy way to prevent that from happening?

I could spend hours reading back trying to find the answer but perhaps it is on topic to ask here and you know the answer from the top of your head?

Bert

Luckely I get what I pay for...



Bert

Probably but still, if only a few cables different than their own can make the amp fry then there is seriously something wrong with the basic design of the amplifier.

Filters as used in those MIT or their own interconnects should then be used inside the amplifier if you ask me...

But perhaps then technical figures look a lot worse to impress?

I do not want to be negative but do correct me if I am wrong...

Bert

In other words the amp is not stable where the least thingy at the input makes it fry itself?

So filters are needed to protect the amp so why not put it inside the amp (as most manufacturers do) giving people free choice to use anything they want around it?

Do these amps have a CE certficate? 

I am not a technical expert but isn't filtering (no matter where applied) always reducing the Slew Rate seen at the speaker terminals?
