I was just thinking ... I am not 100% sure I won't need the X3 log files as well. So before I have to ask you later to do it all again, you better post those too right away.

And another thing :
Is the Lynx not so that it supports a dual wire interface for 192 ? If that is so, you'd have to select another Sound Device for 96.
The shot is too long, I'm sure ...

Peter,
I'll get log files for both 96 and 192, but I think I need another activation code? The one I used before suddenly does not work for either copy of XXHighend and I am once again in Demo mode.

Peter,
How can I re-activate my copy of XXhighend? It is running in demo mode now, since installing 9z6.1.
Lynx card has always played 96k tracks with no problem. It is configured for single wire aes only.

Okay, about the 24/96 tracks ...
This appeared to be only about a Naim (sample ?) album which can be downloaded.
Lee, thanks for sending me an example track; it appears to have wrong header data, but it could be solved. So, in the due 0.9z-7 it will play.
Regards,
Peter

Wrong header data? So is this something that Naim should solve for? Just curious.
I am really liking 9z6.1, really impressed. Redbook never sounded so good. Hearing details I never heard before, even in 9z5.2. Also am loving the upsample slider, which I never really used much until this weekend. It ads so much to my old or poorly recorded cd's. Makes them listenable once again, even fat sounding where they used to be shrill, harsh and lack bass.
All of this is KS thru a Lynx aes16 card into a Berkeley Alpha dac. I've also recently installed the two inline Sotm filters (HD and fan power) and think they help with noise floor? Blacks seem somehow quieter.
Next experiment is to play with usb and both the Sotm and Alpha usb converters --> alpha Dac. But I honestly doubt the sound will improve much from here.
Kudos Peter!

Hello Lee,
I guess you are the same Lee as Minzyman. If it does not take too much of your time, you may like to elaborate your signature.
I am one of those in this forum who owns both BADA and NOS1 USB. There are a number of tweaks that you can do before investing in Alpha USB interface (USD 1,700). For example, off mobo Lynx interface which requires PCI extender (Exsys EX-1095) so you can feed the Lynx card with linear psu or replacing the stock AES cable bundle with custom cable using Cardas Clear (quite expensive but mark improvement in SQ). You may like to upgrade reclocker using Grimm or Antelope and Legato USB/SPDIF interface ; earflappin has done this successfully.
However, if you really determine to get the Alpha USB, please do so and do us a favor too. Please also purchase NOS1 USB from Peter and run AB test between BADA + Alpha USB and NOS1 USB. This is something that I left out in my post here http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=1820.msg18560#msg18560 If you like BADA + Alpha USB more than NOS1 USB, you can get a refund from Peter. But I bet that you will end up with those 2 fine DACs. Please write a review too. I am eager to learn from your experience.
On the "header data" topic, I understand that Peter uses some tagged data in those tracks which create conflict with XXHE 0.9z-5 and later. Peter has solved this already in the upcoming release.
Cheers!

Praphan,
Thanks for the note. I'd love to demo the Phasure usb Dac. Isn't it around $5000 US? How about you lend one to Jon Reichbach at Sonic Studio (I work with him) and we can test it and hear the sound (both using Amarra on a Mac and my copy of XXHighend on my Zalman/Lynx setup. This way, I can turn it into a great demo event for the Bay Area Audiophile Society, which includes two writers from Stereophile. Would give you some great press in the Bay Area, if the dac is that good.
Just a thought. Amarra is for Mac only, so I don't see a conflict, but actually a nice opportunity.

Praphan,
Can you explain this a bit more or point me in the right direction?
"off mobo Lynx interface which requires PCI extender (Exsys EX-1095) so you can feed the Lynx card with linear psu"
what is off mobo?
Any else tried pci extender?
/Lee

Hi Lee, It is an accepted fact that there are still certain level of RMF and EMF emissions inside the PC case even a passive type like Zalman. We still cannot find any replacement for switching PSU for desktop PC which generates noise. The point here is to get Lynx card out of the noisy environment using PCI or PCIe extender, depending on your Lynx slot type, which consists of EX 1095 adapter ( http://www.integrate-computer.de/Exsys-EX-1095-PCI-Express-Erweiterung-Karte) and EX 1035 expansion board ( http://www.exsys.ch/download/catalog/ex_1035.pdf). You will then be able to build a decidated faraday cage to shield Lynx card and feed it with external linear power supply. Connection between the adapter and the expansion board is via typical DVI cable. I think you should be able to find Exsys product in the USA. Hope the above is clearer. Praphan PS. Thanks for your signature update. Most of us here have already migrated from SSD to spining disk due to superior SQ. Some of us run faster HHD solely for OS + XXHE separately from slower HHD storing music files. This is proven to yield better SQ too. |
