Re: USB Regen from Uptone Audio

Maybe I should try it one more time... maybe with one of the well run-in units :) I have heard all the improvements mentioned but also it was bringing brightness and harshness at the top end in my case but at the same time my system is fully SS so I guess more prone to highlighting those issues.

Re: How would you build your music PC today?

I use one of the boards modified by PPA. It is Gigabyte H87 chipset with one TXCO clock. I do not think he sells them anymore as now H97 is the more current one. I was mislead by photos on his webpage on which he was using this particular board with his CF card reader while in fact the photos were m...

Re: How would you build your music PC today?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148657 Randy I use exactly those low voltage modules and can recommend them. They are very stable and can be pushed to very low timings when downclocked. I actually will probably buy another set of those to bring me to 32gb RAM to have more s...

Re: How would you build your music PC today?

Is it 8gb as 2x4gb? But even if so you can by 4 of them to get to 16gb mark. If it is 8gb in one stick then you can reach 32gb easily if you would like to, not to mention 16gb. However if we forget all audio type of thinking where everything is possible his sticks are very weak in parameters which m...

Re: How would you build your music PC today?

My mentioning of Xeon CPUs was in fact just a byproduct as they are required for the Intel server board. PC based on this server motherboard is almost a perfect solution as it is old enough chipset technology to still truly and natively support SATA 1/2 devices so PPA CF does work on it (or at least...

Re: How would you build your music PC today?

I use this ram -> http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/blt2k8g3d1608et3lx0 because it operates at lower voltage and still achieves great timings. Both of those mean that memory modules are of high quality. Does this memory sounds any better then any other? I have no idea :) They are also low profile which ...
