I can only imagine that something gets hogged too much from Coverart being too stressful when bringing up XXHighEnd during Unattended while playback is still going on (and then starting from c:).
Hi Peter, this is not how it would happen, but rather from a cold boot of the computer and then starting the bat file. Sometimes IMDisc would initially start XX from C drive and sometimes from the A drive. Now that I have turned cover art off IMDisc consistently starts XX from the A drive. Weird for sure.
Had some visitors today who auditioned the NOS1. I believe their collective response was favorable, especially when A-Bing with the Meitner MA-1 Dac.
