Sorry, I meant 2.67.....not 2.77! ;-)sima66 wrote:I still like the 2.66 V2 and V3 the best.
2.77 are to dry, to filtered. A bit less harshness then 2.66, but much less air and musicality.

I just disabled HPET and onboard Audio in my BIOS, and I do actually believe it removes some of the over-the-top sharpness.
I have to relisten to some of the music I listened to earlier this afternoon and see if I'm not kidding myself. It is still more sharpish than V2 but I think somewhat more reduced than before.
Fascinating :-)

I just created a new 2012 R2 installation and forgot useplatformclock is not enabled by default.
Switching HPET in BIOS does have an effect, but turning it on in BIOS and not setting useplatformclock means it does not use HPET only but a mixture of clocks.
I wiil look at some combinations (in the meantime I already had turned HPET back on, but left onboard Audio off), now I will compare with and without useplatformclock.

If you do what I do,
disable HPET in bios
and disable "System timer" in "Device Manager".
That's it. all you need is one timer the "System CMOS/real time clock".

Thanks for this tweak.
It seems it does remove further sharpness from the V2.66 V3.
2.66V3 is very listenable right now.
Timers do appear to have quite an influence on sound quality.
And already 2.67 has arrived. I will try later today, but I do like 2.66V3.

Does HPET in device manager need disabling too?
