Actually you don't need anything to stream tidal you can use your cell phone .

I have to admit it's an amazing performance for XE and Euphony so far.It seems that there is a new level for the XE with v4.

What is the issue with usbx and euphony . I am using usbx since long time without issue please clarify .

With Zeljko's golden touches he made the 7EC barely reach 93%.

Did you make any change from BIOS ? I changed Freq from euphony only. It is impressive your CPU utilization have 93%, mine is reaching 99-100% .

I am using 421&108 going back and forth I decide to stay with 421.

I am using AMD 3950x still I don't use any LPS for my server I have Taiko-ATX and I am waiting ULPS from taiko .

I did try upsampling to DSD256 7EC with Euphony chord Dac but the problem is with Hqplayer specially with new ver they are not taking the advantage of multi core it looks Hq used two core and the process will hit 100% and the sound will start to cut. With old ver like 4.8 or 4.12 I can't upsample higher rate PCM like 192 to 7EC but with lower sample rate it's working good . I believe the best way to go with 7EC is to replicate @hols build . it looks he prefer PGGB now. For me I appreciate 7EC with song recorded as DSD but not to upsampling from PC

I read @ASRMichael comment's explain IRQ after I start play with IRQ I feel the image is improving.

With new version 421 the resolution & clarity details is remarkable. I am very satisfied with natural sound more than 108 . Image & holographic I feel it is less than 108. But I care much about natural so I am very happy with last update . I am sure Z will add something special with new update .

I was playing with 3 versions 108 & 216 & 217 I find the sound unnatural at all when this two ver 216&217 installed in my system . But it is different when install 108 & 217 in my system I find the sound still natural, I don't know if I imagine that but I feel the previous ver impacting the sound somehow I don't know so I decided to keep old ver as part of my system if there's new update I will downgrade my ver to 108 then I will install the new one . I am using now 108 & 421.

Z advised me to install new update he is correct no more shortens with any song .

Today I started to experiment using PGGB with Euphony . I feel it is interesting tool for upsampling but I have some issue euphone is shortens the song especially long song . I need to figure out the reason for shortens the song. PGGB brings benefit to the sound I feel the timing is more accurate more natural sound with black background and reduce some of the harshness with better bass and amazing vocal .

He is offering now DR7T turbo upgrade 🥰.

@Marcin_gps I didn't test any power and I've read a lot of reviews for the DC4 and DR7. My reading concluded that they are the best in the market even SR7 not in the level of DR7, for DC3 many upgraded to DC4 all this reading before Nenon share in public his comparisons Many comments from Romaz and austinpop and Fourlegs about this powers.
