  1. Good question. But why not also ask it on the Phasure website?
  2. I am using version 7 without any problems on Windows 7 pc
  3. The best way to deal with this is to post all your comments about USB fixer devices on this thread. No off topic discussions about other threads will then be necessary.
  4. Had thought of that myself, so looking forward to your listening experience once you have it installed.
  5. I think Peter is still refining his XXHE software to get the very best out of the Windows 10 final build plus ram disk developments. And I understand this delivers better SQ than W7 & W8 versions. I can't imagine he will be looking for reviews until XXHE/W10 is finished and bug free. I imagine any review will need to be the complete package, comprising Peter's front end system, being XXHE PC & software + Peter's cables + Intona + Phasure NOS1a DAC. That is the only way he will be able to ensure the NOS1a has the best chance of showing its full capabilities.
  6. I think Peter has put the NOS2 project very much on the back burner, concentrating instead on maximising the potential of the Phasure NOS1a. The projected NOS2 final price (direct) was probably going to exceed $20K Euro, which puts it out of the reach of most audiophiles, and that was a discouragement for Peter. His current NOS1a is exceptional $Value. Perhaps Peter will revisit "a NOS2" in months/years to come? But don't hold off buying a NOS1a. Frank
  7. You have experimented with mixed cables with good results, so you really have answered that question yourself. I guess that the tweeter crossover point on the RC30 is 2.5 - 3.0 kHz, so your JW Audio cables are driving the two midrange/woofer drivers in a 1.5 configuration (one midrange/woofer up to about 300Hz) up to the tweeter crossover point. Just about all of the music (bass midrange and lower treble) are being handled by your JW Audio cables, so in my opinion that is where the best cable is required if you have to make such a choice for $ reasons. The tweeter cable only needs to handle mid to high treble well. Does that help? Cheers Frank
  8. Here is the URL: Intona High Speed USB 2.0 galvanic isolation
  9. There is a rave review of the industrial model on Phasure.com by Peterst yesterday
  10. Good call derekc! I found there really is no such thing as an audiophile audiologist. I have tinnitus issues so doing the usual low volume listening test is a waste of time as the test signals disappear into my background noise level. The audiologist would have me using HAs with huge boost to frequencies in the 4kHz - 8kHz level, based on their faulty techniques. And told me I would get used/adjust to the initial tinny sound! When asked if this would mean that listening live orchestra (without HAs) would then sound dull once my ears adjusted, he didn't have a clue. So I set up my own frequency comparison hearing tests with headphones, but at my normal music listening levels. And found that there was no perceivable hearing loss at all up to 10,000Hz. Mind you it fell away sharply then - but at my age that is expected. Playing at your normal listening levels with a good source and capable EQ software using headphones will soon tell you what you need or don't need. I do have a hearing problem. My tinnitus does cause conversation hearing problems, but not when listening to music. If I were to use a HA it would boost volume for conversation only, but no EQ! HA would be removed for music.
  11. There are those designers (e.g. XXHighend, HQ Player) who have spent many years now perfecting software and filters that proves otherwise to their many users. There are good technical reasons for the process, which you might find on either of those two websites. However, a prerequisite for this working optimally is desirably being able to upsample 16x or to 4 x DSD. And an increasing number of DAC's now accommodate converting at these high sample input rates without further upsampling or downsampling. A suitable NOS Dac is probably best for this. Peter at Phasure.com even built (I think the first) a 756kHz capable Phasure NOS Dac to properly accommodate his upsampling XXHE software. I use JRiver MC21 upsampling wav files to 705.6kHz (introduced in MC21 version) in my headphone system and I certainly prefer it over straight 44.1kHz playback.
  12. Thanks Alex. Luckily I only use the Micro in battery mode, so I assume the Micro's charging circuit is not in use? Done now. I seem to have missed something or misunderstood along the way! I'll wait until the additional mystery items are available. Thanks Frank
  13. Exactly, which is why I was concerned, stopped using it, and am asking. I could probably step the battery down to 9V, but I don't know how to achieve that.
  14. Alex I have tried a 12V battery to power the Regen into a iDSD Micro. The Regen gets hot - I estimate about 45 - 50 degrees centigrade by my touch. Is this a no-no? Thanks Frank
  15. Drop successful - all 1950 units sold! Hope you didn't miss out.
