Finally I got 9-Z3 installed after I finally found my Vista disk and reinstalled window and got RAMdisk started only a couple of days ago. All I can say is WOW.
Very impressive and it could not come at a better time. For the last week or so, I have been auditioning the new Qsonix Q205 thinking that it would be nice to have a server with nice interface and since Wadia now join force with Qsonix and designed all the digital circuitry in Qsonix I think that it would be a good alternative to computer server. Qsonix is very nice and the sound quality is excellent, pretty much on par with using CD in my CD player. (I used Stealth Sextet cable from Qsonix to Playback MPS-5 vs using CD in Qsonix itself). Z3 in Win7 was a touch better over all (using Lynx AES16, Cardas Clear cable) but Vista/RAMdisk/Z3 left Qsonix in the dust.  So great work Peter, also you just saved me lots of money except now I think I might have to upgrade my computer to run Vista 64 bits so I can have more RAM and bigger RAMdisk, perhaps.

Phwew, I just looked at those prices. swoon Well, very nice (and honoured) that such a thing can be surpassed with 72 euro eh ?
Maybe add a little tiny DACy now ? hahaha

Thank you for sharing and the nice words !

21 will be faster (this can really matter) and could even bring better SQ. I never tried it.

Hi Peter/Marcin,

Tried 11 & 21 with SFS 250, in both case no playback at all. Waited upto 2 mins but nothing.

Arvind, to get it straight ... What you are saying is that you can use 0.9z-3 allright, but only with SFS.ini = 00 or something (second position = 0) ?

If that is so, your laptop must be way way (waaay) too slow indeed. But you can check it :
If you bring up TaskManager, is one of the cores (or the only one you may have in there) at 100% continuesly ?

Since this is the SQ thread I will post some first impressions of 9z3 on XP.

Please note that any finding may relate more to limitations of my system than to XX. All listening has been done with settings as in profile (IdleEnable:1).

SFSfile setting: 11
What I like: Fantastic voices and individual instruments floating in the air, good instrument separation, excellent flow and vividness in the music, can listen long sessions at low sound levels.

What I like less: somewhat vague and blurred bass, a little disorganised (too lively), @ craked up volumes unbearably hard highs and thin sound, some 'heavyness' or 'darkness' around instruments

SFSfile setting: 21 (comments hold for all 2x settings)
Compared to 11: Much more gentile presentation (less distortion?) aslo less 'dark' and 'heavy', more focussed and smaller, easier to follow the singers text and individual instruments, in general easier, yet less compelling to listen to. Didn't try this one @ high loudness.

SFSfile setting: 10
compared to 11: at low volumes it sounds more organised with the same drive, tad better transient handling (ie hearing the skins of the drums), magical voices, audibly more information in higher registers (ie cymbals), works best at low volumes: even less bearable when played loud in my system.

summary of firt impression: 9-z3 sounds great for late night listening (use 10)

A great improvement is that copying music to special musicfolde on RAMdisc first makes no sense anymore (tried that!). If the copy to XX folder tracks are removed after playing, the playlists may be elongated to their orinal size, that would be excellent!

Thats it for now,

regards, Coen

Definitely, this is the best 72 euro I spent on my system Happy
Now, only if I can get better interface Happy Happy
Now I wonder, once in a while, I get a little hiccup when playing through RamDisk (4GB RAM, RamDisk 1500mb- with 1GB RamDisk, I can only play 4-5 songs continously at a time with 4x AP, SFS 200, 1.5 GB is a bit better). I wonder if more RAM (using Vista 64 bits), 8 or 16 GB with larger RamDisk (4 or 8 GB) might make things run a bit smoother?

Most probably the hiccups go away if you lower the SFS. So, your 200 has to be processed within a certain time, and if it can't do that you'll have that little stall. Well, I assume it is that. But you can easily try it.

I don't see where more memory is going to help here. Yes, for a larger RAMDisk allright.

If it helps, but you want to persist on the SFS of 200, try to play with the other Appointment Schemes, and also lower the Thread Prio a tad. Or increase the buffer sizes. -> try to give that loading process some space.

@CoenP: It is the first time I played with these settings. I can hear what you describe. 10 I would describe as  softer. 21 I would prefer a bit because it has more dynamics in the mids.

But the neighbours have craftmen in the house and they are drilling all the time , hence listening is a bit difficult at the moment  unsure

Yes, lower SFS certainly make the little hiccup happened much less often and pretty much disappeared at SFS of 60 or less. However, I still like the SQ
with bigger SFS. The sound is a bit fuller, more body and somewhat more analog to my ears. Right now buffer size is set to 1024 at both XXHighend and Lynx,
appointment scheme 1, I will experiment with thread prio and appointment schemes.

Hi Peter,

9z-3 works fine with SFS.ini=00. With 11 or 21 no sound. CPU usage with 21 peaks to 17% then comes to normal level (around 2%)

You mean : and after that (CPU being at 2%) nothing happens anymore ?

How long does this 17% approx. last ?

Is there a message "Engine#x didn't start wihing the expected time" ?

CPU usage with 21 peaks to 17% then comes to normal level (around 2%)

You mean : and after that (CPU being at 2%) nothing happens anymore ?

How long does this 17% approx. last ?

Is there a message "Engine#x didn't start wihing the expected time" ?

Nothing happens; there is no sound even if i wait for 2 mins. The spike on the CPU is only for a fraction of a second & there are no error messages. Everything happens as with SFS.ini=00, except there is no sound.
