I hear your backhanded remark, but I'm proficient in this area as well. Yet they get repped while I get chided for basically saying to same. Hypocrisy.

I guess no noticed Adobe Photoshop CS5 is 15-years old. I highly doubt Adobe still cares about it, let alone provides support for it. Google" adobe photoshop CS5 release date", and... Adobe Photoshop CS5 was released on April 30, 2010. Also hard to believe a "trial version" of said product...

Thanks for the help guys. Clearly I know now where I stand here. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply :-) That's the first thing I do (and yes it is disabled) as I never use integrated graphics on any of my builds being I use dedicated GPU's. Also disable on-board sound as I run an external DAC from the PC via USB cable. Here no soundcard required. Not required since the...

Not getting any BSOD’s but feel like I have a hardware issue somewhere. Reliability Monitor Certainly says so. I just can't determine what the specific issue is.... The issues are multiple: Loss of mouse / keyboard functionality when trying to wake PC “if” its sleep PC wakes immediately...

It's up there with their flagship Z890 Aorus Xtreme AI Top board in my specs.

I think too many worry about things not needing worrying about. The drive reports as good, and doesn't appear to be full so I say if there are no other issues there's nothing to worry about. I do zero interventions on my disks and just let Windows handle the drives as needed. Never once did I...

I get updates all the time, including the latest one - RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) still works here. That said, sometimes, usually a major update may reset to defaults, so my suggestion is to double check the machine in question is still configured as before the update - File Printer...

Also, if you've not done so, check the board has the latest BIOS release installed. That said, if the board continues to exhibit such behavior now would be a good time to have it replaced.

They aren't located in a lot of places. There's only one authorized vendor (and repair center) in the U.S, but they don't keep stock on hand; just order from China as needed and ship from them to you. And that means you're still subject to paying a tariff. Anyway, Denafrips is well known for...

Yeah I got mine last Feb. when they dropped to 1599 USD. Now they're back up to 1999. They Sound really good on that system. Enjoy 😉

Yeah, that's how I have my setup - DAC into headphone amp via XLR cables. This my setup.

Yeah, I've noticed your purchases here. Anyway, I know what it is to put a nice headphone system together. Enjoy :-) Rant.... I just bought some new power cords and XLR cables, but on my last order (power cord and XLR connects) from Japan I got trumped over with a tariff bill for $330...

Wow. Really stepping up the audio gear huh? You're going to love those phones. I have the Hifiman HE1000se.

Uh, yeah.... Today's modern games no longer fit on a 650 meg CD. Now they average 50 gig and are downloaded from a server ;-) Now if you're playing Solitaire, maybe a floppy disk :D
