I know KSTR from German-speaking forums. He writes well-founded. I am always grateful when I understand the technical construct. But at the same time humble, because not everything can always be explained with today's technology. My ears always win.
That's a good point. In fact, I have to given one important piece of information: I also use the HQPlayer with low frequency interpolation files. Namely DSD256 with the Modulator ASDM7EC and an ingenious new filter poly-sinc-gauss-xla. ?
Just as with WAV it is no longer necessary to unpack and therefore possibly ensure a better SQ, the significant increase in the tab points could help the HQPlayer to achieve new top performance. I admit none of this is scientifically proven and it's my guesswork.
But my ears and those of the sound engineer noticed an increase in sound. Unfortunately, only from 134 million tabs, which requires a lot of computing power and time. There is nothing free in our hobby. ?
Just wondering if anyone were familiar with HPE servers by any chance? They're adding something to the BIOS options of their Xeon Scalable motherboards (Proliant Gen10) that couldn't be found anywhere else
Hewlett Packard Enterprise introduced the Processor Jitter Control feature in its Gen10 and later servers to enable customers to achieve both frequency upside and low jitter. This feature is available for Gen10 and later servers using Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. Servers using AMD processors do not support this feature. This feature allows the customer to remove or reduce jitter caused by opportunistic frequency management, which results in better latency response and higher throughput performance.
Level and balance frequency fluctuation, minimize jitter, and reduce latency problems while in Intel Turbo Boost Mode using patent-pending technology. Jitter Smoothing mitigates processor frequency fluctuation and can improve Intel processor frequency by up to 12% over base with low latency and deterministic processor performance.4In some cases, Jitter Smoothing can even deliver workload throughput above Intel bo Boost mode alone for an even higher performance improvement.5
SNC (sub NUMA cluster) partitions the cores and last level cache into clusters with each cluster bound to a set of memory controllers in the system. SNC improves average latency to the last level cache.
In the interim, as the Win10 releases have matured, and in particular in the Insider releases, W10 does provide support for thunderbolt networking. This can mean a lot of different things. What I'm testing in particular is the ability to use existing Win10 capability to bridge two ethernet adapters (one or two of which can be Thunderbolt Networking adapters).
So turns out you can do just that but I'm not sure even Asus realises you can!
I had the same question, I'd heard some people had got TB3 cards to work by bridging a couple of pins on the header cable instead of plugging it into the motherboard. Thought I'd try it.
Purchased the Asus Thunderboltex 4, plugged it into a dark hero motherboard (x570 with no thunderbolt header). To my surprise it worked. No header cable required.
Just the USB2.0 cable plugged into the motherboard and card in the last PCI-E slot, nothing else. Not drivers needed (or at least Windows went and got them for me if there were).
I now have my GPU into the Thunderbolt card, that goes into a thunderbolt HUB (because you can have those with TB4) then a thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable that goes into a my Samsung Odyssey G9 doing 5120x1440@240hz. UFO Test confirms it all working smoothly with no stutter.
Only thing not working if I can't install the Intel thunderbolt software but I have no idea what it does or why you would need it?
I honestly can't work out why Asus doesn't shout this from the rooftops!
Has anyone used Buffalo gs2016(with or without modded clock) with a solarflare 8522/2522 NIC? If so, what's the result? These two items has been hot topics on the forum as they offer very good bang for the buck SQ.
Due to the high performance of the Solarflare NICs (Network Interface Card) of the 8 and x series, the chips installed there get very hot. They are already equipped with an oversized cooler compared to other cards, but the manufacturer expects a case fan with at least 200 rpm. The only solution so far has been generous ventilation holes on the lid or cover up the lid.
The Solarflare NICs have very low latencies and are therefore used, for example, in high-frequency trading on stock exchanges. In the audio sector, low latencies are also a great advantage. Taiko Audio and others noted outstanding sound, but it deteriorated as the heating increased. That is also my observation. That's why I developed passive cooling with heat pipes.
The HDPLEX 2nd Gen H5 Fanless Chassis with heat pipes offers excellent passive cooling options by simply dissipating the heat via the side wall. If you don't use a passively cooled graphics card, the left side wall is free. Due to the different slots on the motherboards, a flexible connection option for the heat pipes was required. The attachment in the middle enables the heat pipes to be shortened. Since it is a prototype, the production is still a bit rough.
Here you can see the heat sink of the XILINX Solarflare X2 Series Ethernet Adapter - XtremeScale X2522, which is not sufficient for passive cooling. The contact pressure of the heat sink on the chip is created by means of spring plug-in holders.
I was very curious to see if that would work. After about an hour the left side wall gets quite warm, which is a very good sign. The heat dissipation via the outer wall works! An endurance test now follows. I will also completely close the housing cover with the original.
Unfortunately, the other drawbacks of a fan remain. Even if a large case fan with 200 rpm makes almost no noise, the inevitable vibrations can seriously disturb the electronic components working in the high frequency range. That doesn't bother with word processing. But jitter or other electronic interference are problems in audio processing.
Fans tend to collect a ton of dust. Some people wonder about the large openings in the fis Audio acrylic glass cover. Since with passive cooling, the heated air moves from the bottom up, most of the dust remains outside.
If you are interested, I can order a lttle quantity exclusive for this comunity. The cooling solution fits the 8000 and x25 series and the HDPLEX 2nd Gen H5 fanless chassis. I do not produce the cooling solution myself but commission a German manufacturer to do it. I have to calculate the price depending on the quantity.
