I believe we need what we have, but if it is about this "only one master clock"... ?

Bah... It was simply taking too much place for nothing... But please do not take this as censorship on my part Happy

Yet you did not answer yesterday to my question: why posting this in the Support section ? You mention "Tweak", so should this not be put in the Playback Tweaks ?

... And am I "hot" or "cold" with my guess ? Wink

Shoot Alain, only now I understand why you posed that other board; I made -somehow- a mistake there. So you know, I have seen myself writing "tweak" and thought this was wrong and I (really) still think I changed that to "application". But apparently I did not, possibly because there was a visitor around and couldn't focus much.

Sorry about the confusion.

Hi Peter,

i love it when a plan comes together. yahoo

Now I understand your interest in digital filtering lately. We will still need XX for the ArcPrediction algorithm don't we?

Anyway this developement is somewhat of a dream come true. I guess we are now unchained from Windows and their future plans compromising the sound quality of our favourite OSses. No more lusting after expensive usb cables. We could have OS-X and Ubuntu NOS1 drivers and AP plugins. Man, I could be streaming music from the cloud directly to my NOS1 or have a NUC do the job. Etc, etc, etc.
This is all great stuff!

Regards, Coen

Peter,

As a sort of side topic, what are you considering as the future for XXHE?  Is the way now clear to develop a driver for the NOS1 that includes the digital filters and upsampling so that other playback software can be used (eg. JRiver)?  Maybe even make it Mac compliant (I understand the 384KHz USB limit on macs).

Your thoughts here?

Anthony

I think Coen is right - the future of XX is hard-core digital filtering, using an ultra high-powered PC feeding a PC-immune NOS1.

Wow... no more thoughts of PC linear power supplies necessary. I will sleep well tonight.

Hi,
that is an item where I'm sitting in the dark (as always).
Peter and/or same Forum members are underclocking the CPU down to 470MHz (under performing). The CPU i7 3930K costs more than € 500,00 and then ......... .

Thanx for an explanation.

Alain, remember we're only talking about the upgraded NOS1. XX will still be absolutely necessary to get the best out of all other DACs.

Joachim, I doubt that's now the case. If Peter's has truly eliminated the affect of the PC/XX, then he's probably back up to full CPU power, and using XX in full OS mode, with background showing too.
