Hi Maxi, I did not know you lived in Madrid, if you are interested in knowing the NOS1 and you want to share our experience I´ll be delighted. I do not know if anyone else is in Madrid or even in Spain, but if that´s the case I invite those interested to contact with my personal mail.

Btw, are you using a Playback Drive?. I´m not sure, but using it avoids many of the unwanted issues.

Cheers, Juan

Maxi,

In some bright moment last night I suddenly thought of the solution for you : set Phase to Normal, Ph- and swap the polarity of your loudspeaker cables ...

Sounds too easy for a solution, but should work.
Or ?

Peter

Hi, Juan
Yes I live in Madrid and I would be happy to visit you and hear the NOS1 and, of course, you are welcome to visit me and hear the ... well, the thing. We'll be in touch.
BTW I am actually using a playbackdrive.

Cheers

Hello Peter,
Thank you, I'll try.
At this moment I am playing the DacMagic and seems that there is no problem with SPDIF: optical from Prodigy soundcard and electrical from internal soundcard.
But, of course, PA can't be activated.

Regards

Hello Peter!
I am playing with the speakers polarity swapped as you suggested. I am using an old pair of shelf speakers so I can't tell much about  the SQ differences with normal phase and PA -. But I've noticed that, as you predicted, things are going better with PA+ and inverted phase although finally ther was a point when the protection circuit was tripped after a loud crack. I must admit that I don't even dare to try inverted phase and PA- (my wife is going to kill me ...if I don't suffer a heart attack before).
I think I must live with the fact that only normal phase an PA- is possible in my system. I perceive the sound as the better I ever had so no worry about that. When I detect a recording wich I suspect that could sound better with inverted phase then I always can deativate PA.

Once again, thank you for your support.

Ok, good Maxi ! One last remark then :

Quote
I think I must live with the fact that only normal phase an PA- is possible in my system.

This sounds a bit like "oh well, nothing else is possible". Okay, but when you play like this and the polarity at the speakers is reversed, it is uncompromised (assumed that the phase is inverted elsewhere another time, which is what I understood). So, you are all good now !

Kind regards,
Peter

Hello Peter,

this is just an update: playing with the main pair of speakers with swapped polarity and the sound is EVEN better. Not a big difference but it's better.

This is a little bit off topic but I take the opportunity to comment you that, although when I push stop there is no plop at all, when the music stops by itself sometimes there are  plops again. I didn't notice it  before because last week  I have been  testing all the time and I didn't  let the music end very often. I'll try other buffer settings again.

Best regards,
Maxi
