All,

Wanted to share this.  I have the Mach III in a cabinet with an open back, along with the original XXHE PC, which I use to store music. While the XXHE PC core temp at idle is around 35 C, the Mach III runs quite a bit hotter at 59-60 C.  I have the rear switch on the side down (faster fan speed).  To cool the Mach III, I bought an external fan (the Aircom T10 exhausting to the back). With the T10 on top of the Mach III, and at the lowest fan speed (and very quiet), the idle core temp drops almost 10 C.  It seems a workable solution if others have to keep the Mach III inside a cabinet.  Since the fan is external it does not draw power from the Mach III that could compromise SQ.

Thanks Peter.

A very simple question to clarify.  How does one actually change the DSP settings with the Orelo.  I see a USB port, and assume that I could connect something like the Hypex Filter Design software to view what current settings are?  I'll look through the HFD manual if this is the means to view and modify the DSP settings.

Hi Ramesh,

The best I can do is refer to the mere beginning of this board and the "More bass" and such topics (two of them exist). There I let "you" the customers change things in the DSP itself - already quite a task. Turning this upside down : if you can't perform that, then all stops, because it is part of the job.

The (indeed) REW part is something you can learn, but it requires a measurement microphone and an A/D converter to get from the microphone to the digital data in REW.

The measuring itself ? a job which requires a lot of experience. But what you always can do is measure the base (as how all outputs currently) and gradually change things (in the DSP) which you *and* will see happening *and* will hear happening.

See you in a year ?
(not talking physical visits ).

Best regards,
Peter

All,

I've moved the Orelos back to the living room, and am wondering how the DSP for the Orelos are tuned.  They sound very good.  Should I try to measure frequency response with REW or something like that, and check to see if the DSP parameters are optimal?  I realize I know nothing about the DSP in the Orelo, and how it is setup.  Any information, or link to threads on the forum, would be very helpful.

Hi again Drew,

You can ask what you want, as long as it is for a compatible OS.
This is all about going to Minimized OS, which is not possible without Activation anyway, which will kill the OS when attempted if not compatible.
On an other note, nobody forces you into MinOS, but it is there where the magic happens. This is where the OS for Music Reproduction resides.
Without MinOS and with Unattended there's a glimpse of that too, but way less.

Anyway, no need for an Activated version in order to ask questions - as long as it is on the forum (here).

Best regards,
Peter

Thank you for responding Peter. A family member found a copy and I'm going to set up the pc soon. If this copy doesn't work I'll ask after I purchase xxhe.

Hi Drew,

The 14393.0 version would be available through me. But it is only available on request and when an Activation Code for XXHighEnd has been obtained first. This is not to get your money, but because this has been the agreement with the person who made it available to me/Phasure myself.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter and everyone!
I have been searching through the forum and haven't found a working link or app to Win10 14393.0.
Does anyone know where I could source an Iso? I'm setting up a pc and would like to stick with a compatible build version to avoid windows problems.
Thanks

Thank you Anatole.  I use CoreTemp to monitor the core temperatures. Recently, and in the new cabinet, they range from 58-61 idling, and rise to about 63 under load.  The back of the cabinet is open, and if I open the front doors, the idle temp drops to around 55.  Part of the issue is not a lot of clearance on the sides.  I'm going to experiment a little. Contingency solution is to place the Mach III on top of the cabinet.  Of course, that will upset other residents of the household!

Use monitoring software to keep an eye on your Mach III's temperatures, especially under load. If temperatures are consistently high (above 80°C under load or 60°C at idle for CPUs), it's a sign of potential cooling issues.
