Hahaha. Does it contain a horn (whistle) ?
Is it async USB ?
Crazy though ...

And you can even order it including motor and a 10' track. Could be a nice add to your collection!

Juan,
Many thanks again for your help.
First, and most importantly, the sq of XXHE is stunning! I spent all Saturday night saying "Holly ##@##, this is CD??!!!"
I finally got my PC working a couple of days earlier (it was a bad velociraptor - I think it maybe the Sabertooth took a bite out of it)
My son (who is better with computers) and I tried to set up the separate drive as the playback drive and kept getting a bunch of errors. One thing that I just thought of is the guys at Fryes told me that they used that drive as the OS drive to isolate the problem to the Velociraptor. Could that be why I need to do something different?
We're not using a separate playback drive now.
The other error I keep getting is playing the first song results in a match error. But if I start the second song and stop it and go back to the first it works fine.
Thanks again. What a fantastic product!

Hey Bob, As you can see in the first post of this topic I use, like many other people here, one hdd for OS and XXHighEnd, other hdd (or as many as you need) for music and finally another hdd for Playback drive, this one has nothing inside but one folder. XXHE use this hdd to put there the list of music you are going to listen and that music is erased every time you close XXHE. As far as I know by your private mails your problem is how to format this Playback drive or more exactly how to find the System Volume Information File folder http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=2086.0I couldn´t help you more on this issue so maybe Peter or someone else can help you better than me on how to format this hdd. When you have the Playback drive correctly set up probably you´ll solve your other problems. Bob, please put your signature in the post, that´s the way we can see your system and configuration and help you better. Best regards, Juan |

The other error I keep getting is playing the first song results in a match error. This is a known bug for the current version, solved in the (due) next. IIRC it is related to playing mixed formats. There's a topic about it somewhere (no 2 months old), but even for me it is hard to find. And Bob, please post your problems with the Playback Drive in a separate topic and add some "context" for me. That is, if you still have a problem with it. Regards, Peter |

Hello,
Sorry, false alarm. My son and I just fixed the issue. We reformatted the playback drive. Then we started over using the instructions and it worked.
We, originally, set permissions for the drive instead of the system file inside of the drive.
Fantastic sq!

Generally faster was better. I am not so sure Stefano said that ? And actually I'd think it is the other way around (theory only !) Peter Edit : FWIW I have mine running at 833Mhz (can do 2100). Is this still how you feel Peter or Nick? Any newer ideas about how to treat memory with XXHE? |

Personally I never experienced with that (but mine is at 1333 while all can take 2133).
I have to add this though :
I always and ever try to stay out of tweaks which can't apply to you all. All BIOS tweaks belong to that (but I do experiment with the "XXHighEnd PC" because customers have that and why not try to utilize it with a benefit to not me only). So, all you see pop up in XXHighEnd for tweaks in the "BIOS" direction should apply to all. When not, it won't be a setting.
In the mean time this is how I don't know. I just don't try the things which can not work out the same to you all, because all what might happen is that I have super sound, while you have sh*t and I think I did well *for you*. So I just stay out of it.

While I wait for my upgraded NOS1 (thanks, Peter) I´m thinking about how to configure my hdds in an external way. The advantage would be, compared to an external USB hub and several external hdds with its own cases, to have only one power supply and only one USB 3.0 cable. I have some doubts and maybe someone could help on this regard. I´m considering a dock station for four hdd like this one: http://www.startech.com/HDD/Docking/4-Bay-eSATA-USB-3-to-SATA-Hard-Drive-Docking-Station-for-25-35-HDD~SATDOCK4U3E. This dock station can be connected to the Music PC through one USB 3.0 or eSata port and it can deal with all the four hdds at the same time, so I could have there one hdd with the OS and XXHE, one hdd as Playback Drive and two hdd with music that I could change whenever I´d want. What I don´t know is if would be possible to have the hdd with the OS in the dock together with all the other drives or if this hdd with the OS have to go to other different port like one eSata port (or USB 3.0) in the motherboard. Best regards, Juan |

Hi Juan, I checked this dock station... I find it quite expensive and it is essentially made of plastic... I have the bad feeling that this will vibrate a lot... Compared to what you actually have with the suspension you added. But I understand that with a single box (with multiple drives), there would only be one power supply to take care of... I am still looking for a "miracle" enclosure that would have those properties: a) Trayless (no need to mount the hdd with screws in the enclosure), so easily removable b) Made of aluminium (to evacuate the heat) c) No fan d) Carry Esata (even Sata I will be ok) and USB 3 connection e) Have a 12V connection with a "barrel" shaped plug. This to allow the eventual replacement of the cheap wall wart with a linear power supply. As of now, I could not find such a product. The only product that could approach this description is a Icy Dock enclosure, but it needs braces to be screwed on the hard drive prior to insert the hdd inside the enclosure. http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=146The enclosure can be either placed vertically of horizontally (it does not seem very stable as it is narrow when vertical - I keep it horizontal). But of course it would need a linear power supply (12 volts) to be more silent (electronically speaking)... This is the point where I am (try to find an affordable power supply)... Regards, Alain |

Hi Alain,
I can find the dock for only 90€, that web site was only for information. About vibrations yes you are right but the fans can be shut off. The case carries both eSata and USB 3.0. The power supply?, well that is still something to solve in a better way but the individual cases have also one each.
Could you tell me please about my question if the OS could be in one of those hdd placed in the dock?.
Best regards,
Juan
