Uhm ... still waiting for mine (two by now, because/but one I consisdered lost), but could I be part of the latest goodies so I can try to make the best out of it for WASAPI, KS and XP/KS ?
Btw, would it be a problem to just post it as an attachment here ?

Uhm ... still waiting for mine (two by now, because/but one I consisdered lost) Oops, lost HiFaces - a bit costly? , but could I be part of the latest goodies so I can try to make the best out of it for WASAPI, KS and XP/KS ?
Btw, would it be a problem to just post it as an attachment here ?
Good idea! |

I really can`t explain why , but I reinstalled XXHIGHEND and the M2TECH drivers and somehow, I´m now able to play 7-8 songs each time ! Before the CPU sometimes stalled after 1-3 songs hmmm weird  Could the limited amount of songs played, depend on this beeing a demo version ??? |

Progress  Now I`m able to stop, in the middle of a song, and choose to play another without any problems ! I couldn`t do that before I reinstalled XXH and M2TECH drivers ! Now I´m also able to shut down XXH completely and open it up again ,and start playing ! Before the reinstall I always got an error message ( device allocated but not able to play ) that`s not the actual words but the meaning is the same ! I haven`t had this error message since the reinstall ! Besides the reinstall of XXH and The M2TECH drivers I also pasted the latest XP zipfiles 09-y5.06 into the09-y5.00 folder ! Maybe I didn`t do this right, the first time  I`m really looking forward to hearing from you guys, when you`ve got it up and running on XP  About the sound quality at this point in time, it`s by far the best I´ve heard from any pc source  I´m looking forward to comparing th sound with a MAC using M2TECH  Untill now I´ve only been able to play 16bit 44KHz ! As I understand the engine4 is not able to play at 24bit at this time or am I wrong ??? My setup as today is IBM T41 thinkpad( running XP pro S3 )- software player XXH-(demo version-) M2TECH USB/SPDIF converter - Accuphase DP-67 cd player(used as standalone dac) --- Bertram RCA silver interconnect cable---Accuphase E-406V intg.amp ----Yter speaker cables ----Holfi Thyra Charisma MKII loudspeakers |

Nice,
So Hiface is working !?
KS too ??, guess not, but you can do double arc prediction (DAP) 24/88.2 with #3Engine
If you undemo, you can also chooce "processor core appointment scheme" under xx settings
This wil also make things somewhat better.
I really prefer scheme 3 for that, but this depends on sytem.
Cheers,
Roy

So summarizing:
HiFace with the current latest XX (0.9y-5-06) works with engine#3 (using HiFace's WASAPI support) in DAP and QAP modes if DAC is capable of 24/88 and 24/176 on 16/44 material.
HiFace with the current latest XX (0.9y-5-06) works with engine#4 (using HiFace's KS driver) in 16/44 mode only because engine#4 currently does not support 24 bits. Hopefully, next XX versions will open up HiFace's potential in DAP and QAP modes also with engine#4.
The above should be true for XP, Vista and 7.
Seems like it is time to order one for myself....(sitting in Vista, able to test in XP as well)
