Hi Peter,

The SQ is astounding with the low SFS, however I still get one fairly loud tick within a few seconds of playing the first track.

Best regards,

Arvind

Hey Arvind,

Wouldn't that be because you set the "After SFS Rounds" too low ? I think so.

Imagine 4-5 SFS rounds to be there per second at 24/705600. Now count the time until when the tick happens. 2 seconds ? then set the After SFS Rounds to 5 x 2 = 20 10 at least.

Does this help ?

5 x 2 = 20? Now I understand why the Netherlands economy goes better than here in Spain  Wink

Over here we say a lot. But whether that's the truth is for the believers.

Thanks Juan. What a stupid mistake.

I get Tick after start with USB buffer size 4ms (After SFS Rounds=1)

No Tick with USB buffer size 8 and 16

I agree, the SQ is astounding now

Hi Peter,

With SFS round 1 the tick comes in a few secs. Increasing it to 7, the tick comes after approx 30 secs.

Repeatable ?
And with SFS=2 ?
And with 32/706500 output ?

I'd say at least one of the above can't be true ...

Hi Peter,

I am not sure what you mean exactly by "repeatable" but every time I click on play there is a tick in the first track. Output is 32/706500 & SFS is 2.

I seem to have a tick also when pressing Play, but since I set the USB buffer size to 16ms its gone.

Not sure if this makes sense and if this is repeatable. Will test it tomorrow.

Arvind, this might appear to be a difficult one. Why ? well, because you are somewhat on your own to find out what this is. But it is not XXHighEnd ...

After the time you indicated (where it happens) nothing special is going on anymore. No SFS engaging (if already has) no Wallpaper changing (it's already there including PA indication and all), no data being read other than what's happening all the time already (per SFS interval), no nothing.
But so many other things can be going on ...
(in your PC I mean)

I seem to have a tick also when pressing Play, but since I set the USB buffer size to 16ms its gone.

Something like this seems key. And let's keep in mind : that "After SFS Rounds" parameter is a backdoor solution to that "crack" while nobody ever could find so far what this stall (that's what it is) is about. What you have is similar, and I can tell you that with Windows 8 day before yesterday I also had a crack at ~ 3 minutes into the track, completely repeatable. So if I regard this similar to what you are encountering now ... I have no clue about my (W8) situation.
But with the Driver set to 16ms it doesn't seem to be there ...

By now it seems that more of these strangenesses can be "solved" by the Driver's latency. Maybe Stanley's report is the 2nd only, but including my own experience it should tell something. The WHY I don't know.

Hey, if we are not careful, only NOS1 users have such problems. Happy

With USB buffer size 4 i get ticks, "After SFS Rounds" doesn`t help.
With USB buffer size 8 i have no ticks and i don`t use "After SFS Rounds"

And i think USB buffer size 8 gives me the best sound, better than 4 and 16 (SFS=2)

Hi Tore,

Can you please rephrase your post and be more specific ?
Of course, we can assume that you are talking in the context of this topic (ONE tick after the start somewhere), but it will be far too easy for others to read this in the context of "ticking" which WAS there and besides that ticking sure can still be there because I can incur for it myself.

If I make the below of it, would that be what you wanted to say ?

With USB buffer size 4 i get a tick, "After SFS Rounds" doesn`t help.
With USB buffer size 8 there is no tick and i don`t use "After SFS Rounds"


Also please let me know whether you have PA on, what your SFS is in this case and after how many seconds into the track the tick is there (when it is about ONE tick indeed  Happy).

Regards and thanks,
Peter

Peter, i have done some more tests.

Today, first time playing: Usb buffer size 4, After SFS Rounds = 0, gives no tick (strange)
Then i tried "After SFS Rounds" = 1 , that gives a tick (it is a crack) after 9 sec.
 "After SFS Rounds" = 2 gives a tick after 3 sec.

Then i tried Usb buffer size 4, After SFS Rounds = 0 again : tick after 24 sec.

SFS=2   PA - on

Tore, super thanks.

Can you tell me, is this repeatable each time ? I mean, the tick for which SFS Rounds was made was not much repeatable. There it happened at each new album or something like that (no clue really). But what you are telling about here, is that a matter of Play - Tick - Stop - Play - Tick etc. etc. ?
If yes, that would be quite convenient for me ...

Regards,

I have done more testing:

It is repeatable, i have checked a few album

USB buffer size 4,  After SFS Rounds = 0 gives a crack after around 5 sec.

USB buffer size 4, After SFS Rounds = 1 gives a crack after around 20 sec.
