Who's used the Audiophile Optimizer for Windows 2012 Server or Windows 8?

[AudioPhil]

Oh, i don't think that he actually bought AO..?

[breen]

are you kidding, you dullard. audiophil has produced a piece of software (the only piece of softwsre) that enables true state of the art playback of all formats. by the way, pcm produces a shock reaction in us and dsd does not. so stick all that in your pipe.

The #1 reason why I love this forum is that I learn something new everyday! I must admit I had to look up meaning of "dullard". I am pumped to use it on some unsuspecting forum reader!

Of course Phil wants money, he has not spent countless hours coding AO because he has the spare time! What he offers is in my opinion incredible support, a fantastic product that warrants the purchase price, and most importantly a genuine desire to help us all achieve the best sound possible from our PC audio setups. Of course, no product will work for everyone so its understandable if AO did not provide the results you were expecting but to make that kind of accusation is not fair. I will give you the benefit of the doubt because English does not appear to be your first language. Hopefully you will find a better solution for your needs. I for one have stopped looking with Phil's AO in my system.

 

++1.

 

Phil's Highend Audio venture has three points of difference.

1. A versatile product that 'does what it says on the tin'.

2. A fair and reasonable asking price.

3. A commitment to customer service and support rarely found in audio land.

 

Whatever you thoughts on Audiophile Optimizer or any other product out there, a degree of respect is required.

 

When you say, or do bad things, then they will reflect, badly, upon you.

i must apologise, its not a shock reaction but a stress reaction. on topic, if this pan troglodytes is so cheap as to not buy this software at a snip, for what it does for computer audio, he/she should go buy a walmart record player (made in china) and play your records through that. don't insult the intelligence of audiophiles who appreciate quantum leaps in the state of the art.

[wisnon]

Its been a long time since I heard the insult "troglodyte" thrown around. I like it…brings back memories.

Dates back to the movie in the 1980s.

Phil, I think it is the right moment to give you a big hand. I was able to participate in your expert knowledge and in addition I recognized a superb and very friendly personal support. Even more I know that we will be able to achieve some great additional steps in the future.

 

All the best to your next steps and thank's a lot so far!

I agree, Phil's product is crap... terrible... horendous!!!! In fact, it's so bad, please send me your computer with AO installed on it so I can properly dispose of the unit. Do not try to use it with anything else. Once Phil's product is on the computer, it's on the computer indefinitely, nothing can be done to restore the sound quality.

 

Just PM me about you wanting to rid yourself of your computer and I will provide the address that you can send it to. Once I get the computer, I will properly dispose of the device by giving it to a loving audiophile that is interesting in using AO. ha ha ha.

I think Phil actually posted it to get us to pour out this support and praise. I tell you, the man is brilliant! ........and we're happy to do it.

 

Thanks Phil for all the hard work you put in on this amazing product.

As I am coming to this rant late and have only read a few pages back , just why is this happening.

From what I have read there are two situations here . One is why would j river look to pull sever 2012 from jriver.

Second is why is anyone making an obvious false claim about Phil.

I lost count of emails that this guy helped me with. He was on vacation and answered me. This is a small product that has big time support. And the forums here as always help as well.

 

I have put together about 6 systems already and doing two more now . The product hands down works great . And once you get past the learning curve it's a cake walk .

Nothing in computer audio has had the quality improvement that this product has given me. And so cheap. Any change I make now is so easy to hear.

 

Even ppa ,s new PCI usb is so easy to hear changes . Not saying it's always a good thing but good or bad a quick and easy answer is great for the hobby.

And Phil helped me put together my first setup . He hand picked all the parts as I was green to this. .

Now I have found cheaper parts now but that first system is still my Reference setup.

 

What at can we do collectively TP stop jriver from doing this . Or are we doomed to just use older builds for this product. Regarding jplay I ownnit but do not use it . It's just too many settings and I get lost after a while . Phil has streamlined his setup with just some questions or choices for dummies . I think that is fantastic for a novice like me and most reading this. Now for the ones like tedB who really know how to make some of the changes in windows why is he using this. Well doesn't that say it all. It's just arrest product .

Thanks to AUDIOPHIL, my system sounds better than ever. I have the AudiophileOptimizer installed and Windows Server 2012 on two pcs. AudioOptimizer sounds outstanding, is rock steady, (much more so than Windows 8.1), AudioOptimizer sounds outstanding, is easy to install and use once you put a little time in reading the manual, the AudioOptimizer sounds outstanding, has great personal support from Phil, (try getting personal help from Microsoft!), it sounds outstanding, there's lots of kind folk to help on this forum, AO sounds outstanding, is reasonably priced, oh, and did I say AudiophileOptimizer sounds outstanding?

 

Thanks again Phil for all your time, dedication, and developing an ever adaptable and evolving product.

Jimmy caster bunch song troglodyte. It's from the seventies. Damn I must be old if I know this.

More than 50 of my friends and I myself are AO users. None of us consider AO doesn't worth every penny we paid. If anyone hasn't experienced AO and thus has any doubts on it, I suggest writing a mail to Phil to explore your audiophile adventure.

Good Morning Gents

 

WOW. I was stuck on the toilet this morning because i had to read so many postings and came late to work! :-)

 

I am truly overwhelmed by that kind and quantity of positive Feedback. thank you very very much, all of you. It seems that our hard work is truly appreciated.

 

No, unfortunately i have no time to create fake accounts. since I also own a car Forum, i always have the plugins in mind I used myself to uncover double/fake accounts based on Cookies etc. I am pretty sure Chris has something in place like that as well and thats why I would fear it too much to get busted and get my account banned/blocked.

 

once more, thanks again to everybody! :-)

I am a native english speaker...thank you very much. I also know what a "Trog" is, comprende? Dont be a neanderthal.

I hope everyone can see the big wink I put into this post. I didn't mean to suggest at all that Phil had planted that post.......of course, most understand that. However, the post by kisjano has provoked an unprecedented amount of outrage and support that it has created the exact opposite result the poster (poser) intended.

It is apparent by the amount of posts and the testimonies within them, that Phil's standing and good reputation have been increased by all this.

There is a certain group on this forum that has been hostile to any audiophile program outside of the media player itself. This group's closed minded stance and hostile tactics have made this laid back music lover become a bit of a militant in the pursuit of audiophile freedom. We can not take this sort of bullying lying down. I am glad so many like me are coming forth in support of all this.

thank you so much for your post wisnon, i am proud to be a part of the hominini tribal group rather than the panini tribal group. what a gracious pillock you are !

Now I am forced to re-evaluate. You seem to be of the TROLL species!

 

Trolls are know to be allergic to the use of CAPITAL letters.

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I didn't see anything on it in this thread or on the AO site. What is the recommended hardware for Audiophile Optimizer? It seems to me that there are two ways to go with an audio PC: low power and lightweight, like the Intel DN2800MT, or high power and heavy, involved cooling solutions like the CAPS Zuma and Pipeline. Do I need the core i7, or would AO be just as happy running on the Atom?

 

I know JPlay recommends powerful hardware, but I can't recall Phil having said anything on the subject. I wasn't planning to run JPlay, so just asking about Audiophile Optimizer.

[breen]

you really need a pc that can run ms server2012 r1, so the more power the better.i beleive it will run on a pentium 4 or higher, but check with audiophil.

You actually almost answer the question yourself. You can use a low powered board like the one you have, I actually at the moment am running a Atom CAPS system. I also run an Intel server board with a more powerful Xeon processor, so you can do it either way. If you intend to run J play, or something that needs more horsepower to do up sampling then do it, but you can start with a atom system if you have one already. You can get excellent results either way. Good low noise clean power is important no matter which direction you take, and a USB card like the PPA is also important IMO.

[AudioPhil]

Minimum Hardware Requirements for Server 2012/R2: Any x64 compatible CPU (intel or AMD) will be fine. You need at least 2GB RAM and 25GB Disk, SSD is preferred.

 

AO has no specific hardware requirements as long as the edition of Server 2012/R2 is supported.

[breen]

R2 sorry!
