Well that is ok it can happen every now and then. one assumes you are working on a 24bit version of 2.66 v2 sure once you get it right all is ok!sbgk wrote:real life has intervened.Clive101 wrote:Hi sbgk
What's the latest on getting a 24 bit version that works for us with 24 bit only DACs please?

Tried it but no noticeable improvement JC.jesuscheung wrote: sounds like same bug i have.
do this:
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick on
restart machine. may fix it. good luck
I have come to the conclusion that all the recent improvements have shown up some music I though were OK recordings to no longer be so.
Tried everything from software to hardware and OS and OS Drive changes to tame some of what I was hearing with no luck.
I went and started listening to some music I had not listened to in a while and discovered music with no nasties and sounding amazing so I have to reassess my collection.
Happy again with the system and the sound but I will have to be a bit more careful in music selection.

Re: MQN
I just noticed an new version of mqncontrol has been uploaded called mqncontrol.exe 2 core 1024
Does anyone know what it is supposed to do differently?

Re: MQN
use it with mqnplay.exe 2.71 1024 - it plays 16/44.1 using 1024 sample buffer = 4096 Bytes = 1 page.Aleg wrote:I just noticed an new version of mqncontrol has been uploaded called mqncontrol.exe 2 core 1024

Seems to make a big difference to everything, much livelier sound. Shall do a 4 core version, but am working on the 24 bit version first.
the hirez version uses 1024 samples already, it was just the 16/44.1 that used 2048 before.
So the question is is it the sample size that makes a difference or the size of buffer in bytes.

Thanks for the explanation.
I had overlooked there is indeed also an equivalent mqnplay version.
Focus on the 24-bit first there is a lot want for that, the Sse4 can come later.

i suppose its only comparable to 2.71 v1 to which it is much better
tried 24 192 on 2.71 1024 vs 2.71 v2
thought 1024 may be the smallest little livelier, did you change anything else in there

Re: MQN
for 24 192 it uses the same code as 2.71 intel, so they should sound the same.
the main difference will be heard on 16 bit material again compare with 2.71 intel which uses the same code, but 2048 sample size for 16 bit.
think the sound is nicer with 1024, v2 was a bit harsher.

Re: MQN
mqncontrol 1024 + mqnplay 1024 is a very nice combination, good sense of space and a pleasant warmth to the sound.
mqncontrol 4 core affinity + mqnplay win8.1-R2 raw background (my other favourite), has a bit more directness to the sound, display somewhat more detail as if one is sitting more closely to the instrument and therefore hearing more (and maybe giving the impression of somewhat harsher) overtones.
I think this is generally the difference between 2 core and 4 core versions.
I could easily live with either of them

1024 is the most pleasant experience I've had listening to MQn (computer audio period), the vocals and mids are great and no harshness, bass is there too.
