Yeah, I know. But I guess it is the meassage to shut it off, right ?

Btw, this too might be such a thing like "looking forever and ever if a new drive was added, or has been removed". For W7 (and my observations) this would workout badly (something is badly implemented in there -> think of interrupt based as how it should be), but will it too for Vista ?

Btw, I had it off in my W7 install, as I have it off now (Vista).
Ehh, I think. But hot-swap doesn't work anyway.

Thanks,
Peter

Nick, would you mind sharing your vLite settings? (export the file)

I suggest we start another topic on system optimisations - one for software and other for hardware side.

Currently I play around with ramdisk and start XXHE from there, I'm quite sure it brings improvements.

Hi Marcin,

that is a good idea. Happy

My PC is connectrd via Firewire to the DAC (Weiss Minerva)  and I have no problem with the WEISS driver. (any W7 driver from other hardware vendors should work under VISTA too)
But Firewire (and the Weiss Minerva) is not recommended by Peter, therefore I'm waiting since month for his NOS1. Cry Cry

I'm still having the same problem with XXHE not working.  I uninstalled the .dll's which appears to have worked fine. I re-ran XXHE and the .dll's appeared to install fine, but then XXHE stopped working just as before with the following error message:

Description:
  Stopped working

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:   CLR20r3
  Problem Signature 01:   xxhighend.exe
  Problem Signature 02:   1.0.3826.32428
  Problem Signature 03:   4c223e27
  Problem Signature 04:   XXHighEnd
  Problem Signature 05:   1.0.3826.32428
  Problem Signature 06:   4c223e27
  Problem Signature 07:   29bd
  Problem Signature 08:   106
  Problem Signature 09:   System.InvalidOperationException
  OS Version:   6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
  Locale ID:   1033

I have UAC turned off, and my account is set up as Administrator. I downloaded a fresh veresion of 09-z2.  I rebooted between unistalling the .dll's and re-installing them.  Have I missed a step or something.  Sorry if I'm being dense.

Probably you need to do the same thing as I did. Refer to the proper topic.

Best route to get a clean delete of the OCX files is:

GO TO

A) START
B) "contol panel"
C)"programs and features"
D) uninstall "Phasure OCX"


and then start with the installation as recommended again

You should have wrote it in that topic, it's easier for everyone to find sth when they look for it Wink

Now back to sound again. I've done many A/B sessions between KS and Wasapi and I'm sure that Wasapi is better, but not with low Q1 values, which produce to much separation and too clean sound IMHO. With Q1 set to 14, there is great control, details and rich midrange. I have no complaints, really - I could live with that sound. KS in adaptive mode sounds blurred and grainy in comparison. It's not bad, I get a lot of fun listening to KS in adaptive mode, it makes me to believe that I'm not listening to a digital source. But Wasapi is more engaging. I'll stay with it for a while (Engine3, 1024 samples, Q1=14, Scheme-3, SFS=36 MB). I'm looking forward to your opinions. Enjoy!

Before people are going to throw out their current install, and overwrite it with Vista, please read this, and the two posts thereafter :
