I know, but there's nothing I can do about it. I can install firmware from Prodigy 7.1 and have 176kHz available, hence QAP for redbook, but I won't be able to play 48kHz tracks at all, so I choose less evil.
Nick,
What power scheme do you use? Did you try different settings?

The going back to Vista and using RAMDisk are key and fundamental in our xx project,
I'am not really sure about appying all other tweaks, I did the whole tweaking in a bunch.
And did not get the same, BIG change feeling, like i did got from the RAMDisk change.
Nick or Marcin, do you guys keep a log of the changes you made ? can you share those with me.

... pure from theory W2008 should be the better solution... Currently I am using Windows 2008 R2. I really like this OS, since it allows for easy customization of windows features. Marcin (or anyone), have you tried W2008 R2 with RAMDisk? Mani. |

Unfortunatelly, I haven't tried it on 2008R2, I wasn't aware of RAMdisk back there. Maybe I'll try it, but for I've had enough reinstalls during last days, so give me a break  |

Yea, just to find out at what level it has effect, i mean on SQ. Rule out placebo  Funny story: I though I bring me own music to Peter and I (should) could trust my "local" programmer with my 2TB HDD full of precious music, thought wrong there, hehehe While discussing another subject Peter asked: "should it be possible to connect a hdd when the PC hibernates/sleeps?". This was a hard lesson you can NOT, well not on IDE. I think it kept the previous connected USB card/or whatever in memory, PC came out of sleep mode, and OVERwrite my hdd mft/mbr with that USB file that still was in memory. Peter feeling REALLY guilty, he was more shocked then i was, but still there where like 5000 albums on there.(no back-up, yet) He spended several hours on it in maybe get it fixed somehow that morning, but I told him to spend time on the more important stuff, the stuff we came for ...AUDIO ! But afterall I managed to get ALL the data of my disc, I only needed the buy another hdd to write my fixed image to, and some 10 hours work for my pc on writing data back and forth.  hehehe, you may stop feeling guilty now Peter, hahaha Roy |

Roy,
What dpclat are you getting from your tuned OS? This is not a hard wired indicator to music performance but it gives me a feeling for how far you have gone with tuning. Are you on vista? What have you stopped / done so far?
When settled what are max, min and estimated average dpclat scores ?
Nick.

He Nick, You guys are a week ahead on me, I was 2 days at Peters and such, repairing hdd, setup vista blah blah. Lot of catch-up to do So I am around 13-15 us range on DPClat, on minimal services, applyed all yours and marcin's tweaks, but i am not sure if i did all. But if you are working organized, you should kept a log right ? I also did, so i want to compare reg, sys and windows settings, we also need a log when we want to write something to automate all these registry entries. Best regards, Roy |

Nick, do you use underclocked and undervolted system? It brings great improvements imho... |

Martin hi,
I tend to go for responsivness as the guiding principle. RAM and CPU give moderate improvements. I also over volt a little. On my system the last 5 % or so of clock speed is -ve for sound so I back off from ffull potential. 2 cores seems best I have a quad core but run 2 by setting boot options.
There was a build paper for another player with great configs but to low volt underclock did not work for me.
Cut the background load and run fast !
Nick

Yes, maybe you're right for external interfaces that doesn't feed power from PC. For PCI soundcards, I can't be wrong...

I also disagree. What I think it really matters is to disable the energy saving features from bios, including EIST and C1. Then i undervolt 0,1V just for keeping the cpu coooler. |
