What an unusual twist this thread has taken. I have found when generous mavericks like sbgk take on projects like this they KNOW where they want to go with it. Instead of keeping it to themselves, and I am sure sbgk knows/knew he had come up with something pretty good and decided to share it with th...

New motherboard (for me) ASUS Z871 Deluxe This board is small and aimed at the gamers. BIOS is very detailed but very different than the BIOS I am used to. I have always used GIGABYTE boards since cics used them but this thing got my attention. I remember Jack Wong always looked at the onboard filte...

Thanks for your note. cics always recommended KINGSTON and I usually followed his advice Though the CRUCIAL piece I am using allows VERY low voltage settings. Even lower than I could get with KINGSTON. It was not HYPER X. Of course, there is always the envelope of what you can and cannot get away wi...

uploaded 5.90 16/44 avx2, think I found something to improve things. Just back from Vienna, what a place. Did you run into the THIRD MAN? Hope not, that guy is dangerous. Did you listen to zither music in a coffee house? Always have wanted to see Vienna but must admit most of what I know about the ...

First off - your P24 cable is very good. It inspired me to consider putting the linear supply back in service with changes, of course. I want to mount the three regulators at the header and seeing your cable made it obvious how to do it. The heatsinking might be interesting but I found there was not...

uploaded 5.35 which is the same as 5.31, but without the setting which may have been affecting the treble. 5.34 is a 3ms version uploaded 5.36 which is same as 5.27, but with the enhanced treble setting of 5.31 so comparison should be easier. that's enough versions, I like 5.31, haven't listened to...

One thing to remember about the cMP adventure, the fellow who came up with the software once he decided it was done he quit participating. He certainly gave us the basic idea of how to improve computer audio. He is a very fine fellow with an excellent set of components and a good set of ears. He mad...

I could care less about Brooks. I thought you were almost too kind in your assessment.

I think it is great you have named yourself Finkbottle, I mean Finknottle. One of my favorite Wodehouse characters.

Not one of your favorite newts?

This is not the first instance of this idea. Dave Davenport and PSAudio have offered I2S adaptors for quite awhile using HDMI cables. Dave's was easily used with a JULI@ sound card and PSAudio's was intended for use between their transport and DAC. Length of cable is not much of a problem with these...
