RE: Theo is not crazy

thanks rick. I began going metallic with cplay 2.0 15 and above, only exception was 18 which never went metallic. Eist on or off never mattered. Going lower on voltage and speed seems to have an effect. I can only go to .85 volts (set in bios) which reads .80 something in cpuz. When I go lower than host clock control of 157 I get instabilities. And of course running 44 sample rate is no problem. I seemed to think it was related to the revisions associated with asio 'refinements or changes' (I'm saying associated with not caused by).

Also playing music files off of flash drives helped a lot. I believe it is somehow associated with power supply or power line noise. I guess if I ever go to ssd's or more battery produced power supplies will that probably help too.

Anyway I have concluded that 44 is better sonically in my system than 192 so its a moot point now. But if I could get sonics of 25 with non metallic performance of 18 I would be a happy enough camper to try 192 again.
