About 15 days go my Asus Motherboard failed and had to be sent back for replacement. This PC uses an AMD Ryzen 7 3700x processor with 16GB ECC RAM powered by a Hdplex LPSU  400W DC-ATX supply.

 

I had an old Gigabyte Motherboard with an Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU and 8GB DDR3 RAM lying which I thought I would try with Euphony V4. Everything installed smoothly and I was surprised at how good it sounded in comparison to the AMD 3700x.

 

During this time I also got my hands on the AMD 4700s kit with 16gb DDR6 RAM.

 

I got the Asus motherboard back a few days ago and compared all 3. I played around with different settings (CPU frequency, isolation, etc.) and to my ears, the old Pentium sounds the best (quieter, darker backgrounds and warmer). I compared them using Roon as well as stylus.

 

Has anyone had a similar

Roon is gorgeous but has the worst audio quality ever..

DSD with the EC modulators don't work without stuttering, which is probably due to the outdated HQPlayer (Embedded 4.24?) version. The core allocation is completely inefficient.

In new V4 now you can change HQPe version. Try to switch to 4.30.3 version  (latest available)

Dear friend, you have been filling the forum with complaints about commercial policies for more than a month (understandable and I respect it) but now that's enough, people are fed up, if you don't like it, change software and we leave this forum to constructive and useful discussions on functioning or any problems as it has just been released. 

With respect, greetings

Hello Euphony Fans

 

Does a 16GB SSD have enough capacity to install euphony V4 including future updates?

 

Many thanks

It should be enough - according Euphony site - min. 16GB

I tried with a 16GB optane M10 m.2, only 14 available, unfortunately it doesn't work

On m.2 intel optane M10 16gb don't work. I tried several times. 

After boot (only legacy, uefi don't boot at all ) euphony screen appear but process doesn't go. I also tried to format low level and different software (rufus, etcher etc)

Has anyone compared Euphony 4 with Windows optimized on the same hardware and same player? (Example Euphony V4 + HQP vs Windows Server / LTSC / LTSB + HQP or against other players on windows like jplay, xxhighEnd, pure asio player etc.. )

Yes, I have 2 Euphony v3 licenses.  Right now using Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC (self-made custom ISO) and JPLAY FEMTO.  Compared to the trial Euphony Stylus 20220708v4 which I listened for a few days, I prefer Win 10 + JPLAY FEMTO in Kernel Streaming.  Euphony v4 GUI is nice though.  Comparison done using the same PC.  Details of components in my profile.

What Windows iot enterprise ltsc version? 2021?

Thanks
