By when will it be ready? I would like to test that 5.19  Happy

Hey Juan,

There is some radical new (cool) feature in 2.10 and I just finished 2 days of continuous work on solving the bugs around that feature. heat I suppose tonight's playback session will tell whether I succeeded with this bug-shooting. smirk
If so, all what remains is the Release Notes and I envision those to be written somewhere this week.

Hi there,

I was using SFS 20,19 for a longer time, but I am back to 10,19 again. It sounds somehow smoother, less distorted maybe.
I am looking foreward what 5,19 will bring when available in the next release.

Peter, I would like to ask you if release 1.10 will maybe (hopefully) bring some improvements like:
- wallpaper issue for FLAC files from NAS
- MQA decoding issue, when no appropriate DAC is installed (I still cannot decode MQA higher than 48kHz).

Kind regards
Richard

Hi Richard,

Quote
- wallpaper issue for FLAC files from NAS

You may give me a reminder in the topic about that.
What I recall of it, is that I was waiting for some answer. Maybe I am completely wrong, but check it in the topic of concern to be sure. OK ?

Quote
- MQA decoding issue, when no appropriate DAC is installed (I still cannot decode MQA higher than 48kHz).

Maybe this is similar as this is not related to DACs at all but to a software decoding issue. Please find the (or a) topic about that and add a post in there.

Hello,

While waiting for the new version I have been listening with SFS at 6,19 for the last week. I don't know if a difference of one point with 5,16 can be significative but I've found some kind of finesse truly addictive. Let's see   drool


Regards

Maxi

PS. Lowering SFS allows me increasing the Qx factor from x15 to x40 again.  SFS at 20,19 ate the end of last tracks.

Yes, it is complicated to let all work in "combinations".

The only problem is, which has been discussed in the forum earlier, that after setting SFS to 5.19 & playing a track, the SFS, on its own, shifts to 4.19.

Oh, apologies !!
I have this active in my own system for so long by now that I completely forgot it is not in 2.09 yet.
Sorry for the unmeant teasing !!

My 2.09 seems to stay on 5.19 without any issue!

But maybe not after Unattended playback. And what happens internally I also wonder. But if it stays after Unattended (or maybe just quit and restart XXHighEnd proves the same) then it should work for real. Watch out though : the piece of software arranging for the "even" numbers is explicit (so the even numbers ever back were on purpose) and a little bit buggy. So yes, it can stay by sheer "accident" but if you re-attempt it (change the number back and forth) you may not be able to get there again.

And what happens internally I also wonder.

You are right. I found that my memory setting was on "Mixed"! Once I put it on "Contiguous", it jumps back to 4.19 unhappy

So now I am using "Mixed Contiguous" and 5.19 which seems fine.

Peter,
A different question. Is it possible to use remote desktop and Unattended playing? Currently it is not working for me. Attended playing is fine with remote desktop.

Indeed it is related to that ...

Hi Zheng,

Sure !
But it depends a bit on how your network is setup. Generally :

- Take care that you activate "Use Remore Desktop" in XXHighEnd Settings (Services section) while in Normal OS (then boot into MinOS).

- Use the IP address of your Audio playing PC and NOT the PC Name.

I think these are the important settings. But crucial for you is just knowing that it can work (you will find the how easily yourself).
Also notice that the RD functionality of each operating system can be used (IOS, OSX, Android).

Lastly, do not forget to use the XXOSK.exe (is in the XX folder) and "know" that it can size to a square plus it can be resized by means of dragging the title bar.

Kind regards,
Peter

Dear Peter,

I tried these steps without much luck. RDC (both iOS and another windows10 machine) with Unattended play seems reeking havoc with the whole machine. Once unattended play is initiated, the following happens:

1. RDC connection is promptly disconnected without any hope to reconnect.

2. XXOSK disappears

3. The track continues to play until finish but system is not waking up

4. Mouse and keyboard lost connections to PC.

5. Once force-rebooted and open XXHE, error message "MemOrg error... try turn off Garbage Collecting" or or "engine #3 not possible..." if you try to play a song.

6. Turn off Garbage Collecting will solve the error. Now Garbage Collecting can be turned back on without any problem.

7. If XXHE is in Normal OS state and Minimize OS is clicked, error messages something like "not possible with XP.."

8. Most likely the machine needs to be power down, reboot, sometimes reboot two times, and deal with "MemOrg" "Garbage collecting" message once more to get system back to normal.

So for now I am OK with PS2 connections with Unattended, which seem more "invisible" to both PC system and SQ.

Best,
Zheng

Hi Zheng,

Please move this to a new topic (copy-paste); I will respond from there.
In here it is too much off topic now, OK ?
Thanks !
