Okay ...
Envision my "NOS1a" in lab setup I have been using for the past 7 weeks or something like that. That concerned a completely new NOS1 to begin with and further it's wires all over the place (I don't dare to put up pictures of it, but I should for your all fun).
Burning it in has been a nightmare ("keep on going Peter, just keep on going").
Now :
Since a week or so I have yet another brand new DAC and this one is set up in NOS1a fashion - almost complete production and so far only used for measurements. That one though -thus- can change sampling rates. So today was the day to finally listen to it, or better, listen to 8x instead of 16x. At the moment of this writing exactly one album ago I started playback. Might it be of importance : hooked up to the development PC which is Windows 7, Normal OS Mode and just Attendend ("just do it Peter, just do it").
In brief : This is the Silverstone USB3 card in quadrupule. I actually never heard anything like it, and I am sure what I hear resembles what you said,
Joachim.
Yes, why not emphasize your name.
Oh notice, since I never mentioned it I think : The Silverstone has been rendered useless (no influence any more) and it is the first that occurred to me. It felt like a downside at the time. But now it's back (but not assmbled in this PC anyway) and I LOVE what I hear.
As usual I try to place things in a context, so you'll know how things can NOT compare with what you have at this moment :
(but also because I myself am dealing with quite some apples and oranges)
- W7 Attended etc. etc. (FWIW and if all is right nothing - or ehm everything);
- Not broken-in DAC (only played a lot of test signals
);
- New Arc Prediction Filter version (
);
- NOS1a version.
- Does not float (haha). Just saying.
- Oh LOL, just noticed that this uses Mixed Memory. Yeah, well ...
- And of course that 8x.
Peter
