Phase detection in the XX

[Gerner]

Dear Peter

You know me as one of the most phase-hysterical guys on earth. 

It is well known that many CD's are released with random absolute phase and even some are released with random absolute phased tracks. I have detected that over many years.

(Take all "The Best Of" bla bla artist as the worse example)

This is so anoying and drive me mad. Absolutely mad.

On my OS-DAC I have a phase shift button, but see me run back and forth from my comfortable sofa to the DAC. 

Now, is it possible to introduce an absolute phase detector gadget in the XX-player and by simple mouse-#click# to reverse it? Or even an auto phase detection?

If you can, then I shall offer you all the tender beef meat that I have to consume due to my high frequent running back and forth gas-consumption.

Haha Gerner, I know you are waiting for that.

Well, to be honest, today I intend to have a "release" version of XXHighEnd, meaning no more and no less that you can pay to get rid of its demo activities. So, it does not mean that all will be error free.

Is this related to your question ? well, yes;
Absolut Phase was on my list already, and currently I can do that with Engine #3 only. So, that had to run first.
Then, the next priority would be getting out of the annoying demo thing, which I'm currently working on. For who wants that of course.
After that, proper Absolute Phase is a real quality issue, and I planned to get that in, before getting everything error-free, though depending on the "error" of course. Remember, I created XX for soundquality and not for its beauty or more rare issues one can avoid.

If I succeed in getting the payable version today or maybe tomorrow, and *that* runs issue free by itself, I'd still have time for the weekend to get in the Absolute Phase functionality. You would be able to manually adjust it (right during playback), or set it to auto and then it will adjust things accordingly per track. And no, it will not rephase the woman her voice only. 

Because I know you like the red light district, a red light will lit when twisting the phase is at order.

Additionally, a track can be normally out of phase as well. So the corection of that will be in there too.

Oh Peter....

Yummy. This is really great news: 

1) The soon comming final release.

2) The absolute phase controller. (The Red Light is a Dutch phenomenon. Here there is no Light at all)

But comming to the 2) it is for sure an incredible thing to have running. Now I can breath in pure peacefull music. It has been a nightmare for my poor brain to adjust to the tracks absolute phase shuffle. (Recording Studios...shame on you).

Of course, someone would say: "Why don't you just remote control your OS-DAC's phase button"? And I say: "Yeah. and get stuck with that DAC, when Peter so nicely now runs bitperfect to NOS-DACs"?

In order to explain myself in simple words, playing a track in oposite absolute phase causes a trompet is "sucking" in its own start-step-function, whereas it shouldn't. It should start "positive". Allways.

It is quite OK with me it is not "error" free. I assume you will release it as a kind of subscription and by that all shall have up-dates along the way?

Unlimited upgrades for a main version (like 1.xx).
Currently I wouldn't know what would cause a major upgrade (like to 2.xx), but if so it would be against a relatively small fee.
