Title: Using XXHE under Vista in Mac
Post by: ackcheng on November 22, 2007, 01:31:38 am
Dear PeterSt,

I am currently using Mac Mini with Itunes a and I wonder if going the route with Vista and XXHE can further improve the sound. I wonder instead of buying a new computer, can I use bootcamp to run Vista in my Mac and XXHE. In theory, this should not be a problem but I just wonder if you expect any compromise in term of sound when I go this route?

Yours

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

No, I can't think of any reason why SQ would be compromised as long as you get Vista properly running in there (which wouldn't be a problem either).

The only thing I heard from the beginning of XX's life was that sound stopped after each track, which a. never was worked out but b. can very easily have been solved by now because of many things in this area being solved throuhgout time.
If this problem is still there we'll work it out.

Peter

Peter, or anyone else,

At some point, I will be looking to buy a dedicated laptop for my main system - I'm currently using my business laptop and am getting fed up of connecting/disconnecting all the time.

For work, I use a PC. But for the home system, I could use Mac.

Is it as difficult to get decent sound out of a Mac as it is with a PC, or is the architecture used inherently superior for audio?

Arthur, did you manage to get XX going on your Mac?

Finally, it there an audio program designed for Macs that could compete with XX?
