We have an i7 also but get stuttering but I expected that with the xtr non-2s filter, so there's no disappointment at my end. Are you sure you don't accidentally have an i7-8700K under the hood. That would be a great accident hehe Link to comment

That would be a great accident hehe Oh yes i7 Ferrari modded :-))))) I don't know but you can ask to Andrew..... he sold me as i7 7700 Kaby Lake No problem with xtr filter. I use short with classical music because in my system gives better soundstage. Well, I prefer short with DG recordings and xtr with Decca or Philips ones and this is probably due to the different recording technics. Now I am going but later I will post you a screenshot using xtr filter Link to comment

Do you hear a significant difference between xtr 2s and non-2s? I can do the other filters in non-2s and hear no obvious difference with the 2s version - both sound fantastic for all filters I've tried. But maybe it's just my system and my bad hearing hehe Link to comment

Sound is more transparent and vivid, stage deeper but, overall, instruments appear more real as if they were playing live. I am really interested in understand the relation between this filters and recording technic...but we will talk later asdf1000 1 Link to comment

Can the i7 play poly-sinc and poly-sinc-xtr? .sjb Sample size of 3 (that I know of): 1 can get it working, 2 can't. Tough decision. If I were recommending to a good friend, I'd say email Andrew at SGC and get a custom sonicT i7-8700K made... still a risk without testing beforehand but a smaller risk (maybe?). Link to comment

asdf1000 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 @Sloop John B has xtr non-2s filters at DSD512 working on an i7-8700 (HQP Windows), so a sonicTransporter i7-8700 (HQP Embedded Linux) should work. Link to comment

Alas as this is not quite true. Short story. poly-sinc filters including -xtr worked but closed form gave stuttering. To correct this I updated the nvidia driver to get more CUDA action. This solved the stuttering with closed form but now poly- sinc- xtr filters stutter. .sjb asdf1000 1 Link to comment

So far 30 minutes without white noise... This just emphasizes my earlier findings that the Chord device is really really sensitive to the USB source (and cable). That short USB cable is the one that comes with Mojo. Jussi, I finally had time to test it. I can tell you that the system is much more stable and I can finally enjoy my music. Cheers.

MM Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 For those of us that already own a ST i7 (Windows version) is there any way in which it can be converted to running Sonicorbiter OS instead? Would love to have the option to leave Windows behind.. I would happily pay for the software (including HQ Player embedded). Link to comment
