XXHighEnd

Hi Peter,

Each time I play an album XX will leave a file named "XXAnalysis.dat" in my music folder.  How do I stop XX from doing that?

KUOYAO

You can't. It is used ...

What problem do you have with it ?
(except that something is written in "your" folder ... so that may be not the most nice ... but it is still needed)

It is written to the folder where my music is kept. For example: music is in "D:\my music\Beethoven\Symphonies No 1\."  After playing, XX will create XXAnalysis.dat in this folder rather than in XXhighend directory.  If I open another music folder, the same file will be created in that folder too, thus I'll have to delete this file from every folder I play music from.

This does not happen in older XX versions.

No no ... you "will" not have to delete this file, because it belongs there ! And its content will be different for each album.
For example, if you use the Normalized Volume, the data for that is contained in there. So, when you play the album a next time it doesn't have to be recalculated (which takes 10-30 seconds).

So this is all correct, but indeed it will be written in "your" folder. But look, if you do everything "right" you will be keeping your EAC log files in there also. Or any other album related data (could be reviews, but of course all the coverart). So it's no big deal if you look at it from this angle.

Or ?

Oh.  OK.  I usually just "pull" the WAV or FLAC files from my music folder into XXhighend. Well, thank for clarifying what this file does.

KUOYAO, I notice you have an RME AES-32. I did a lot of experimenting with this and my Weiss AFI1. What I found was that the RME sounds similar to the Weiss when the RME AES signal voltage is set to 'Consumer'. At this setting, the AES signal is around 2V (similar to the Weiss).

When I was looking into all of this, I was totally flabbergasted by the importantance of getting this AES voltage right. But having liaised with a couple of very knowledgeable people (including the designer of my ADC/DAC), it started to make more sense...

Just check which AES voltage your Lavry is happiest with; 'Professional' (~5V) or 'Consumer' (~2V). My ADC/DAC likes 5V, but I suspect your Lavry will be happier with 2V.

Cheers,
Mani.

Hi Mani,

I played with the signal voltage setting found that the Lavry was impartial to either setting.  It seems the Lavry was designed to take in both "professional" and "consumer."  I keep it at professional since my Lavry is a professional studio DA.  Also, I have this belief that the AES 5V signal is better for long cable throws.

However, I also have 2 channels from RME-32 allocated to send Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround or DTS data to a Yamaha for home theater.  The Yamaha sometimes have problem with the professional setting.
