Then sit back and enjoy...a rock steady cpu speed with boosts, throttles and other SQ destroying gobbledygook unable to interfere...

After much experimentation and inconsistent SQ...I can say on turbo boost etc... DO NOT touch BIOS and DO NOT use ThrottleStop... Do this instead in power plan settings...see attached pics...

Didier, Enjoy your break! I will retry the SWCF option with PCM & DSD and get back. More important is the issue with updating W10. This causes real problems where from time to time the SQ just collapses. In the XXHE forum we all had issues with this and found W10 14393 & 10586 have best SQ by far. http://www.phasure.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=la5el7r4jf2ufkq9rh5hja4rb5&topic=4220.0 http://www.phasure.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=la5el7r4jf2ufkq9rh5hja4rb5&topic=4220.0 Last night I upgraded W10 to the latest...

sorry..forgot these.....

Didier, Pls see attached my BIOS settings with turbo boost off. I keep my CPU at a rock steady 2.5 Ghz i.e. green bars...never moving or going to amber or red when turbo kicks in...which it can't as I have blocked it. This is necessary for best SQ in my experience. I had to use Throttle stop to force turbo boost to be really inactive on top of changes in bios. Now your questions....I switched affinity from 10-5 to 8-7 to test... Problem is with DSD wv. and DSD raw... Buzz, beep and crackle is from...

Affinity 10 & 5 is stable with PCM & DSD up to 256.....
