It's time for an update. After I changed from MQn to WTFplay as the go-to player for my daily music sessions, I thought it was time to revisit my binaural setup. The quality had improved to such an extent that I felt I could possibly still squeeze some drops out of the setup. I spent a couple of wee...

Using uwtfplay from the command line on kernel 15. I've gone back to 2 of the default settings (-p60 -n3 in stead of -p80 -n2) and at the moment prefer -f 1024 over 2048 and 4096. The overall sound quality is a HUGE step up from the previous release, even more detail and realism. Finally, have you ...

I am pleased to announce that wtfplay-live 0.5 is now available. Using uwtfplay from the command line on kernel 15. I've gone back to 2 of the default settings (-p60 -n3 in stead of -p80 -n2) and at the moment prefer -f 1024 over 2048 and 4096. The overall sound quality is a HUGE step up from the p...

Ive listened to your samples with newest MQN on my diy dac with modded HD650's and i could perfectly hear/feel dimensionality, localization. Material is new to me, so its hard to comment on reality of this. But ill try this with my material as soon as ill find some time. Great! Looking forward to h...

Thanks for sharing that. I've not had the opportunity to experience the Smyth Realiser, but have heard a lot about it. It is of course a much more costely system, but I agree, it just shows what's possible and that has been my mission for years, make it possible at a price I can afford, in this case...

P.S. You've missed the X file in your pack i guess.. Im eager to try it I just checked and it is in fact included in the zip-archive. Please note that it's not actually called file X. I just gave it that name in the post, because I suspect that officially I'm not allowed to distribute this file. On...

Thanks again Satshanti for such a comprehensive guide at some point if I return to headphones will have to come back to this. Did you post this on Headfi? I posted an early version on HeadFi about 8 years ago, but people weren't interested. The thing is: if you're really used to regular headphone l...

One quick question about resolution change. You said 24/88 is best on your system. Is it dac or conversion process result: original 16/44 file to sound better converted into binaural 24/88? What do you think? I'm not sure I understand your question. I'll explain a bit more and hope it will contain ...

I did some more testing. I had thought my AMD CPU would only manage to play the kernels on the Core2 image, but that is not the case. On my Bulldozer chipset I can use the image for Intel i3/i5/i7 CPU's, and the same most probably goes for any future version for Sandy Bridge chipsets, as Bulldozer c...
