    @Miska I’m using PCM with no upsampling but using TPDF dither. Is it still recommended that I set max volume in HQP to -3dB or can I use 0.0 dB?

  11. I use Windows 10 LTSC and prior to installation removed many redundant components from the image file using NTLite. It's tedious, may involve several trial and error, perhaps try to verify install on a VM first. However, the result has been fantastic! Prior to this, I've used variants of Windows Server 2012/2016/2019 for 7 years with AO. I vaguely recall Windows Server 2016 being better than 2012 as it was years ago. I compared WS2019 vs WS2016 on the same machine multiple times. WS2016 sounded quite a bit better to me compared to WS2019. Anyway, stripped down LTSC is slightly better than any variants of Windows Server I've tried so far. I also like to mention that I've compared AudioLinux/GentooPlayer/Euphony on the same machine. Order of preference: 1. Win LTSC 2. Euphony (2019 version) 2. WS2016 and GentooPlayer 3. WS2019 4. AudioLinux (2019 version) 4. WS2012
  12. Thank you @Holzohr for the update. I think your success of upsampling PCM 1.5Mhz may be attributed to HQP OS or Linux variant. I was able to upsample PCM 1.5M to my Holo DAC (using old version of JCAT USB card) when I use Gentoo as OS. However, 1.5M upsample doesn't work when I use Windows OS. My server uses AMD mobo in both scenarios FYI. Holo apparently recommends Windows for best performance given their ASIO driver.
  13. Is there any Holo DAC users who are successfully upsampling PCM 1.5Mhz? @Diavolo are you using your motherboards USB port? I wonder if there's any audiophile grade USB PCIE that'd support PCM 1.5Mhz with Holo. I love the sound of DSD 256 with ASDM7EC. But it's so taxing on the server and my linear PSU. It'd be great if I can switch to PCM 1.5M upsampling (given the very positive feedbacks lately). I'd appreciate if @Marcin_gpscould shade some light on his excellent JCAT XE card's PCM 1.5M compatibility with certain usb interface like XMOS used in Holo.
