Z3 in Win7 was a touch better over all (using Lynx AES16, Cardas Clear cable) but Vista/RAMdisk/Z3 left Qsonix in the dust. Did you tried RamDisk in W7 too? [GRRRR... now I remember what I forgot when I was "at Home" yesterday...my Vista installation CD  ] Flecko, I tried RAMdisk (1500mb) in Win7 today with all the same setting in Z3 for both Vista and Win7 (SFS 200, 11) scheme 2, buffer 1024, 4x AP, Vista is still clearly better. Under Vista, the sound is smoother, more liquid and for a lack of better word, more analog, in my system. Under Win7, the voice is thinner, a bit more edgy. I used to think that with Win7, the sound is still pretty darn good and already surpass using CD in my CD Player/DAC a bit, now it is even better. |

I like so far 21, Special mode, Scheme-3, SFS=200. If SFS=100 then sound is much thinner. I am on W7.
Peter: "Do not start playback at all".
I do not see any FLAC files being copied from my external USB drive to the XX folder in Ramdisk just before the playback. All I see are the same wav files appearing there just like it was before. So what is different? I guess this is a needed fxality, this is which brought the increased SQ. Source music files should be in Ramdisk just before conversion starts.

Ivo, it is really beyond me what you don't understand here. I mean, I layed it out in the Release Notes, I answered your same question earlier, added to this all seems 100% logic TO ME, but you keep on repeating the question ... ... instead of explaining to me what you think is wrong with it. One more time : The FLACs are converted and THEN go to the RAMDisk. What is wrong with this in your opinion, hence (!) what would be better if the FLAC goes to there ? My idea : nothing, and things will only be worse. All I see are the same wav files appearing there just like it was before. So what is different? What is different ? well, I guess that you didn't get the whole idea of "Do not start at all" in the first place ? I mean, if you guys start to shout that copying the files yourself to the RAMDisk and next start playback (instead of XX copying them) sounds better than the latter, I create this for you. And so it now works like that. One difference : it's not the FLAC being copied but the result of it (the WAV) so again less has to be done after you press play at last. If you really think that copying the FLACs first is better, well, think that but I am not going to make it (because it makes no sense plus you never tried THAT for SQ difference). Now, respond what you want, but please don't ask the same question again. Ok ? Peter |

Uhm Arvind, there's no explicit log entry for it, but it sure looks like you've set "Don't Start Playback at all".
?
Hi Peter, Yes I have "dont start playback at all" & "copy to XX Drive" on & "start playback during conv" off. Am I doing something wrong here? Arvind |

No Arvind, all is perfectly right. But do you expect playback to start with that "Do not start Playback at all" active ? So, inactivate that, and I guess all will work. And of course this has nothing to do with SFS.ini is 01 or 11 or anything. As an alternative use (AutoHotkey active) Alt-P to start playback. That's what that setting was made for.  Peter |

"Do not start playback" inactive, "start playback during conv" inactive & left "copy to xx drive" active. Set SFS.ini=21,SFS=250 & started playback using hotkey I'm not saying it's related, but now you did it wrongly the other way around ... How can you start playback with Alt-P if playback should start normally ? (assumed you pressed Play at some stage ... and if not, there's nothing much to play with Alt-P). So, leave your settings as they are, and just press play. Preferrably even without having Unattended active. Still out of memory ? then lower your SFS (again, you may start at 12 and then higher it). "Out of memory" means, well, out of memory. What uses memory ? SFS.  |

Peter,
testing Windows 7 64-bit, 16GB RAM and using ramdisk (8gb), I found the best combination
- 11 (I tried 10, 21, 01)
- SFS 220 (tried only 60 and 220)
The difference between 21 and 11 is subtle, but I like 11 because it is more fluent, more feel-like-being-there, heights are more liquid, and everything else is also better. The biggest damage to the sound introduces second 0 in ini file.
Congratulation, XXHE is even better. I did not expect this, really.

For old time's sake I put 09y8 on the Ramdisc. My PC has been tweaked since the last time I used it, so it would be a nice indicator of the 9y -> 9z progress and maybe give a clue to the hard upper mid/highs I am experiencing. Consider this my second impression of 09z3. Well, no wonder I was a little sceptical when the first 9z version came out. What a great rendering of detail, completely natural highs, powerfull (yet a little fat) bass, more fleshed out instruments, excellent transients. In short a joy to the ears. 09z sound anorexic in comparison. (of course on MY system!!!) All moonshine and rosesmell with 9y??? Unfortunately not. A thing that I noticed (as I did before) is that I started to do stuff and took the music for wallpaper. I some way it could not hold my attention and was left unmoved by its (beautiful) presentation. To be short: the music had lost its mojo.  Since I consider this a cadinal sin I went back to 9z. There it was again: the music-magic (not soundmagic), along with the rough edges, spoiling a bit of the fun. Time to explore the tweaking and finetuning further. I started with the SFS.ini settings loking solely for the musical x-factor. Actually the worst souding setting (10) made the music everytime a party. This would make for a fine startingpoint. Since 9y was played with higher Q1 I upped it to 6 in 9z3 and this did ameliorate the hardness to some degree. For some reason the SFS setting does not make for any difference (as it did with 21...). There are still a lot of settings to explore, but it can be safely stated that 9z3 is the most musically enjoyable version so far. Still searching, but in the mean time enjoying the music  |

Hi Arvind. Good. But may I ask you : Isn't that clear from the Release Notes ? :
There's a new setting (Settings Area) "Do not Start Playback at all". If this is combined with "Copy to XX-drive by standard", and it mimics "you" copying the tracks (files) to the RAMDisk (assumed you use a RAMDisk) in advance of playback, and next select the tracks to play from there. When AutoHotkey has been setup properly, you can use Alt-P to start Playback.
This is for Unattended Playback only.
If you don't follow the forum I'll admit you won't know why this is. But some people (who tried it) perceive better sound when they copy their music to the RAMDisk themselves. So this mimics it.
Peter

Hi Peter,
I'm happy not everybody gets this 'Don't start playback at all'.
I assume all the work is done buy XXHE, so why don't start automatically after the work is done?
Or do we have to do something ourselfes to help XXHE?

Hi Gerard,
As said, if you don't follow the forum, you won't get this.
Just make that setting inactive and it won't bother you.
And it won't help you either, haha.

Hi Arvind. Good. But may I ask you : Isn't that clear from the Release Notes ? :
There's a new setting (Settings Area) "Do not Start Playback at all". If this is combined with "Copy to XX-drive by standard", and it mimics "you" copying the tracks (files) to the RAMDisk (assumed you use a RAMDisk) in advance of playback, and next select the tracks to play from there. When AutoHotkey has been setup properly, you can use Alt-P to start Playback.
This is for Unattended Playback only.
If you don't follow the forum I'll admit you won't know why this is. But some people (who tried it) perceive better sound when they copy their music to the RAMDisk themselves. So this mimics it.
Peter
What about this post (where you responded to) ... Not read ? can't understand it ? Please eleborate ... |
