the solution found me...

The settings that made it work are in my system:

Q1 11, xQ1 3, Q3 4, Q4 1, Q5 1 SFS 0,69

core 3-5  Clock Res  10ms

While the most important factor was the Q3 settings - that changed everything - the reast is more or less soundcosmetics which are very effective .

Great - now listening...

Thank you Peter for this crazy machine..... Happy

Hi Muni I use a keyboard and mouse on my music server, rarely use remote Ipad.

I see you have played with settings. I'm not sure if you are aware but Peter has changed his settings a little way back but has not updated his signature. Mind you these settings are always evolving may be old now.

Check my settings certainly soundwise are excellent. Ignore my cracks off setting but numbers are correct.

A bit late to the show ...
Yes, that repeat is normal, although not intentional. But I can't solve it either.
It's just XXHighEnd and not related to the PC at all. Is not related to shortcuts or keypresses or click etc. whatsoever.
It is only related to buffer sizes (of the various kinds present).

Kind regards,
Peter

PS: Yes, I should finally be firm in my current settings as of 2 months by now. A real game changer.

Happy New Year,

I wonder what is the power of the installed linear power supply? I don't see any specifications in the description of the Phasure Mach III Audio PC.

Ok, it seems toroidal transformer has 120VA? It means it has about 120 Watts of power? Is is enough for Xeon 5120 Gold and for example 384 GB of ram?

Hi there Tomand,

Please notice and watch out : I only see this port today because we are working on this (and other) forums to upgrade it, so most of the time it has been down the past week (or two). Your post will remain in the upgraded version (possibly ready today or tomorrow) by this post from me will not. But if I think of it, I may save it and paste it in the new version of the forum. Anyway for an answer :

I would need to look it up, but your 120VA seems right for AC (I think for DC it's a bit more).
You must take it that it all *just* fits / matches. This is related to the heat dissipation and the being less efficient the more hot things get. Clear example (On Topic) : would the boot time ~double from just over 2 minutes to e.g. 5 minutes, then booting will not be possible. Unless maybe when actively cooled by an external device (not drawing power from the Mach III itself).

What you imply with the 384 GB of RAM will incur for 384/48 = 8 times longer booting. Thus 16-20 minutes.
I think you may blow up everything because it may go unnoticed to you that things keep on going while in full power - unprotected mode (this is how the BIOS mode works - including TurboBoost active).
You *will* notice because you see the counter which reads into memory, stalls.
Btw, I take it that you want to use more memory thus you also increased the VHD file. It is there were it goes wrong. And without doing this, I think the memory-increase is (literally) useless ?

Something quite else : the more RAM will consume so much more power that this more 99% sure will not work.

If you like to know more, just ask.
Best regards,
Peter
