...i was referring to soundstage of XA. like stage focus, instrument positionings. now XA sounds very correct in his win7. it never did!

uploaded v2.15 1024. try test it for instrument positionings, feel improved, im waiting for comment.
tomorrow i will busy 2-3 day, maybe not online. see you soon.

tested in XA's win7

1. 2.16>2.15. coz 2.15 has layer of control. 2.16 is mellow, airy, great vibration as always.

2. instrument positions and overall integration
-good enough for me. all i care is focus.
-not better than XA + XA's win7.
-hard to explain. you just need to setup the OS environment exactly as XA is developed in, you shall hear what i hear. it is not at all what you heard on win8 or 2012 or normal win7.

3. vocal
-very very good. good texture, vibration. excellent emotion.
-has same problem like before. when singer sings loud, sounds great.
-when singer sings quieter, it is just good. e.g. the finishing of a word is not giving enough.
-amount of emotion can be better or worse than XA1030A and MQn 2.71v2 depending on the situation.
-in general, prefer lekt player for vocal. XA1030A is regularly not giving enough. MQn 2.71v2 is too mellow.

4. earaches.
-less and less earaches. 0.0001% earaches.

5. trebles
-better. could be even better.

6. bass
-lekt player is the king of rock and metal! that drum is real! i would not consider another player for bass

7. piano
-bass notes are amazing
-treble notes... finishing not good. rebounce too fast. it should hold on for a bit and then rebounce.
-treble notes sound too legato when they shouldn't be. youtube 'piano legato' you will know what i mean.

thx

4. earaches.
-less and less earaches. 0.0001% earaches.

thanks JC for detail testing and comments.

uploaded lekt.exe1644 v1.11 read file, more analog, all things keeped. i think better than v2.16 1024, especially on AMD RamDisk environment.

interesting with read file method. now it is better once again vs RAM method in my case.

tested in R1
-fast drum seems better.
-less earaches.
-vocal better. emotion better. each word finishes better. weaker vocal vibration? vibration can be more.
-treble better!
-bass is great as always.
-stage better
-drum is less weight. was it too much weight? i cannot tell. think drum can be deeper.
-this version is less aggressive. more easy to use on headphone.
-in general, may need more depth. need more power!
-piano better. flows better. weight more correct. light weight notes can be more crispy more deep.

my testing isn't very accurate. coz i had been switching between 7 and R1 and R2 all weekends.

uploaded v2.17 1024 , bass more correct, everything is better a bit of bit , then flow is better. try for piano.
v2.17.1 1024 test: JC pls test once again for your soundcard compatible, im very prefer its method as v2.8, but work only with my soundcard.

yes, there's micro change i have detected (code has changed), think not easy detect it. i like v2.16 1024's sound texture, then tried keep all in 2.17, only impvove a bit bit vibration. so sharpness reduced, think ~0.1%, and other things changed ~0.1%. try with headphone.

[jesuscheung]

both 2.17 work.

-piano better. weight more correct. legato doesn't sound right.
-flow is better.

[jesuscheung]

listen to 2.13 again. this version sounds most real. drum is best.

uploaded v2.17.2 1024, v2.17.3 1024 improved vibration. now more difficult detect difference and changes, i tried keep already good things, then just made micro changes, this way mor safe now (soundstage very easy lost if not careful control by code). try it.
