Any NIC which does not function correctly on that setting is BROKEN. And sadly, I confirm the NVidia nic IS broken, not physical, but the XP drivers. I have a Cat6 1GB wired network at home, and had a self-built Windows Homeserver on it (1st version, so Windows Server 2003-based, same codebase as XP). Setting the NIC to full autonegotiation would result in the server disappearing from the network completely after some time. I had to disable checksum offload and set it to autoneg for 100FD to make it stay visible, but that resulted in an inability to stream more than 1 Blu-Ray rip simultaneously, so it wasn't acceptable. I've since upgraded to Windows Server 2008 R2 (same codebase as Windows 7) and the server is now quite happily woking at full autonegotiation, allowing my three kids to watch whatever movies they want, while I'm happily listening to my music :D -- bakker_be http://www.last.fm/user/Bakker_be Main System: Touch; Marantz SR-5004; ' TMA Premium 905' (http://tmaaudio.com/premium905.html); BK Monolith+ FF; HDI Dune Smart D1; Pioneer PDP-LX5090H bakker_be's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Price of a 2nd-hand Transporter ?
Many thanks to all of you for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated. I see the bidding for the Transporter on *Bay in the UK is now up to UKP 550. Still not a bad price, I think, but of course it may well go higher between now and the end of the auction.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is there a way to get PCM out of a SB with 4 channels rather than just stereo
Ah well, I was thinking my speakers needed just a little lift of some sort, slightly sweeter in the mids maybe. I started to look into upgrading the passive crossover components, changing the capacitors etc, or rebuilding the whole crossover. As time is some what short for hobbies at the moment I thought if I'm taking them apart I want to put in the best I can afford as they probably won't come apart again for a good while. When adding up the cost and time, I thought I may as well investigate active! From what I've been reading, active seems to result in more impressive results than passive upgrades... who knows though, untill one has tested it ones self... Not got the time or money for both. It makes sence to use the amp to power everything rather than loosing some power in the passive circuits.. So in answer to your question, no not new ones, playing with the old :-) -- Deaf Cat Deaf Cat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=515 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88011 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

So in answer to your question, no not new ones, playing with the old :-) sounds fun as hobby thing, a programable and configurable device like The DCX will do experiments easier, a good starting piont is to figure out what the passive filters did xover freq filter slopes and more baffle step compensation etc. Even if the passive filter looks simple it can be a considerable amount of thinkinh behind it anyway. Imho such diy should be done for fun and as a hobby, it's hard to compete with ready made stuff , you must be really good or have reqirements that is not provide by the market to save money this way, some designs are not possible to sell even if they are good , things can not be big and uggly ;) -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is there a way to get PCM out of a SB with 4 channels rather than just stereo
:-) my diy skills would probably streach to replacing like valued components with upgraded like valued components, and was thinking a passive crossover should be pretty simple... Swaying towards the active, I mentioned it in passing to the guy who fixed my pre/pro, he thinks he would be able to get some Linn active cards in the space, in the case of my pre/pro as I am missing the 7.1 and bypass cards. No extra boxes which is a big plus, and he would do the solderig etc. and he would set it all up with me watching :-) more likely to work if someone else does it! Not the cheapest of options but sounds favorite to me at the moment... Will more than likely have to save up for a year or two though :-( As opposed to the cheep DCX, h may get impatient on the journey. :-) -- Deaf Cat Deaf Cat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=515 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88011 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I already played with DCX2496 and its a good option. I takes Digital input so no loss their and it'll be one D to A conversion i.e. in DCX. I also should warn you that it is addictive and fun but getting it right and settling down on a sound is very difficult. It is endless tweaking, because you are drawn into making every recording sound right that gets to infinitum. -- MediaCenter Source Device: Transporter Amplifiers: Tri-Amped NAD C272 x 3 Speakers: x-Statik Passive Crossover Removed Crossover: Active MiniDSP x 2 (3 Way) Pre-amplifier: NAD C162 Room Correction applied using REW MediaCenter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32623 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88011 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
