It is my understanding that here is a fix coming for this. My Audio Systems Link to comment
Chopin75 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 This may be obvious and so probably a dumb discovery as I am sure many have discovered this already. Tonight I discovered how noisy my external HDD (where the music is stored) is which when attached to my PC actually affects the sound in quite negative way. I discovered this by accident as I suddenly found the sound of the same music file suddenly has become worse, and I realized that the only difference is I reattached the external HDD. So A/B comparison has confirmed this, with loss of space and air between notes, reduced analogue smoothness, and "harder" sound with the attached HDD, but once taken off the these issues are gone and sound becomes more "relaxed" etc... Interestingly, even if I plug in the HDD without attaching or "mounting" the HDD to Euphony the sound still suffers. After mounting perhaps the sound gets worse (but rather subtle) compared with physically attached but not mounted. Previously I did not notice much change probably I was using galvanic isolation device with another computer but now with this finless PC I am not using galvanic isolation device (sounds better without it) and so the HDD noise becomes more apparent. motberg 1 Link to comment

bobfa Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Update today from Euphony that fixes the WiFi setup issue where you lose software license and go in-registered. I am testing now but it seems to work. I can now do more with my Shootout. My Audio Systems Link to comment

How is your HD connected? Try USB in an external enclosure with an LPS lead powering it. Thanks @lmitche for that tip! I was listening ant @Johnseye system and we found that the HD connected as above to his Roon Server sounded better than the NAS. I think we are starting to get the computer noise down.

One thing to note about my external drive storage. The drive is powered by the sPS-500 and connects via USB to a tX-USBexp with its clock tap connected to the sCLK-EX. It does sound noticeably better than from the NAS over ethernet. lmitche 1 Audio System Link to comment

Surely, if the storage device is powered by LPS and/or isolated somehow from the PC then it may not cause much jitter. The cheapest and simplest is to take out the drive ! Lucky for euphony OS, I can load the tracks I want via Ecache and then detach the drive. It is a bit inconvenient but that is ok. Keep the music files in the Euphony OS drive may be another solution but I run out of space there already ! (1 TB SATA drive). Link to comment
Crustacean Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 @austinpop, at the risk of cluttering your inbox, I wonder if you (or anyone else here) has thoughts on the viability of using Adrian's TLS DS-1 as an endpoint running Euphony/StylusEP. Zeljko told me that generally a NUC can be booted with Euphony, and StylusEP run, off of a USB stick, so it should work in theory, but Adrian, while encouraging, wasn't sure and said I would just need to try it to find out. (The reason I am considering punting to a prebuilt reclocked NUC, despite the higher price tag, is that I just don't have the time for the DIY route right now, but am eager to get aboard with the new StylusEP, and I'm not aware of other options besides the DS-1.) Thanks for any thoughts, and generally for your heroic generosity and good spirit in everything you do on here (that goes for others that have shared so much, too). Link to comment

Hi Crustacean, Since I no longer have a DS-1 in my physical possession, I cannot confirm this with 100% certainty, but I can think of no reason why Euphony would not work on a DS-1, since the latter is basically a reclocked NUC7PJYH. In any case, you can download a trial version of Euphony and just try it. Crustacean 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment

Over on the "Massive" thread, there are some summaries linked on the first post. Great points @bobfa, much appreciated. Yes, I've been riveted to the "Massive" thread for a while now, including those recent findings. And I've been so impressed with, and grateful for, everything you've been posting in such detail to help others with this daunting and rapidly evolving cluster of discoveries—thank you! For now I'm juggling many considerations and constraints in the context of a small-footprint family living quarters, including serving five endpoints and having to process heavy convolution filters for the primary one, so I'm thinking I'll stick with a distributed setup for now, despite the possible compromises of doing so. Given the relatively low cost of entry of even something like the DS-1, my thinking (which admittedly may still be incomplete) is that now that StylusEP is in the mix, upgrading my primary endpoint this way could buy me a nice short-term improvement, as well as some time to contemplate possible bigger changes down the road as knowledge continues to evolve—as you so rightly point out that it is doing, rapidly. Huge props to all the generous pioneers here. Link to comment

Start out simple with a single box running the OS and the player and see how that sounds. I started out with Roon and two boxes. This is why they have trial software!!

Superdad Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 HELP!! So I have wasted a bunch of hours this holiday weekend just trying to get Euphony booted and a connection to it. They sure have some fix-in to do. Setting aside my end objective configuration I'd like to audition it in, I'm just trying to get it going at all. No problem creating a Euphony boot USB stick using Etcher (have used that and other utils many times to make bootable Linux sticks). But despite Euphony's indication that they support UEFI booting on Macs, here is what happens once I boot to the image--same on 3 different Macs: So then I figure I'd try booting this thumb drive on either my NUC or my Win10 laptop. I can get either one to boot successfully--to the point where it says "EUPONY IS UP AND READY," please access on a web browser, etc. Problem is, Euphony self-assigned itself an IP address--on a sub-net different from what my ADSL modem/router hands out. On both machines it to 192.168.1.237. But all addresses on my network are 192.168.8.xxx. So of course attempting to access it from a browser does not work. Suggestions anyone? Thanks, ALEX P.S. Regarding the Mac efivarfs/emergency shell issue, an hour ago I submitted a ticket, and now received the following reply: "This is very peculiar issue with iMacs. You have to install gdisk command line utility.http://macappstore.org/gptfdisk/After that use gdisk /dev/disk3 (or whatever number is USB with Euphony on it) and then enter thesexewy(Enter after every letter).I'm writing from phone so I'll explain later what this is and why this problem occurs.And use USB stick, not SD card because with them there is no solution at all." That's nice I guess, but I replied that the issue is not just with iMac. I at first tried two different Mac minis with same result. UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment

Then point a browser at that IP. I've also found that Euphony's login screen (which as we know is unaccessible) changes once its ready for a browser connection. It can take a few minutes. Also if you're trying to connect multiple devices with Euphony on them you need to change the host name and use different registrations. Audio System Link to comment

I am wired. Here is what Zeljko wrote me: "It's the same for minis. (he is referring to first problem with Macs, not to IP address problem)These euphony addresses are fallback and they were activated because there were no DHCP server available. Why is that so I don't know. Maybe you setup your router that way or there is some other issue in your network. Maybe you put some restrictions on Mac addresses that can connect to your router?" I replied: "Thanks for your reply. 1) If you know that both Mac minis and iMacs have this issue--needing installation of a command line utility and special configuration--then why would you not give all those instructions in the Mac section of your web download/trial page? 2) No, there are zero restrictions on my router with regards to giving out IP addresses. Both my NUC (booting AudioLinux) with direct wired connection, and my laptop booting Windows 10 with wireless connection--get assigned normal 192.168.8.xxx IP address, just like every wired and mobile device in my entire house. It is a simple network and I can look at the map of it and the settings by logging into my ZyXEL ADSL modem/router. With zero changes whatsoever, I can boot any other OS stick (I have on hand Jussi's HQ Player Embedded OS image; as well as AudioLinux sticks going into either NAA or Roon bridge modes which a friend optimized for me). Those have no problem getting proper IP address assigned. But booting your Euphony image it only gets the self-assigned fallback address. Please let me know what else I can try.
