Hi Folks

 

PayPal seems to have some delays at the moment. I've seen that many already purchased the upgrade, but we did not get a single payment from PayPal so far.

 

As soon as the website's back-end get's the payment notifications from PayPal users will automatically be shown the download link of the new version.

 

Our System will also send out an Info Mail once the process is done on our site. As soon as one gets that email from us everything is ready to go.

 

Sorry, but really bad timing PayPal....

OK, payments arrived now all together. Mails went out, website back-end (user/version databases) working as expected.

 

...welcome AO 1.30 :-)

 

P.S. You might need to refresh your browser to see the new site content.

Agree as well, the install was without problems. The upgrade in sound quality is undeniable! Nice improvement in inner details, and reduction in noise floor. Definitely worth the small upgrade cost.

I also noticed the number of processes and threads was unchanged, but almost half as many Handles are running. Nice work Phil!

Oh man. I am going to upgrade now. So excited. Thank you Phil

I've purchased my upgrade and am doing some serious listening with 1.27 now so I can establish a baseline.

 

The music sounds so fantastic already that I don't know how it could be better... but I'm excited to find out!

Upgrade complete. Everything went smoothly. Having only listened for 10 minutes these are my immediate impressions:

 

- music, especially vocals has a naturalness and ease to it. Dare I say its more tube-like?!

- more clarity as if a haze has been lifted

- instruments sound more distinct

 

My sound signature is 4D.

 

More feedback to come!

 

Phil, you are my hero!

Hi all !

I am new here. And i would like to have also AO.

My PC had before win7 and now is installed Windows Server 2012 R2.

 

But my problem is installing drivers for DIYINHK XMOS-ES9018K2M DAC.

In windows7 DAC with drivers works well with DSD128 files.

 

Do someone succeed to install DXIO drivers in Windows Server 2012, maybe?

Hi

 

please search the pdf guide for "install.cmd". This can be downloaded for free and will most likely help you to get your driver working.

 

best,

phil

To do the upgrade from 1.26 to 1.30 where do I start? Do I load the current service tool to get out of core or minimal server mode, uninstall 1.26 and then start 1.30? It has been a while since I have upgraded.

You should read about upgrading Audiophile Optimizer in the manual, page 28. I did it in minimal server mode. Copy the download files to a location on the computer and run the new setup.exe from a cmd prompt.

 

I had no hitches at all so given my attention span, it must be easy. Good luck.

I just finished the upgrade. I am still a bit confused about which things I need to run when I make changes.

 

Anyway, my first impression is that the change from 1.24 (yes, I hadn't upgraded to 1.26) is that the noise floor has been lowered. The whole music presentation seems quieter.

 

More impressions to follow.

Check out the manual. But its always a good thing to rerun AO. According to the manual, when you upgraded the ServiceTool should have reset your system and asked you for a new registration code. Once you do this rerun AO.

I ran setup and then the service tool and then AO. I am not sure what running the service tool did!
