lekt player

[jesuscheung]

you keep surprising me. SQ chase is infinity

if you need vibration + bass, you must overclock CPU.
am listening to CPU=4.8Ghz, that bass only exists in dreams. using lekt player, bass is heaven.

[jesuscheung]

now i am thinking overclocking to >5Ghz!! that bass. unheard of...
not kidding. +10% vibration or more.
with CPU=4.0Ghz, it feels like CD player.
with CPU=4.8Ghz, the rock performance is live.

CPU temp is very cool with lekt player. <40degree.

if i start to browse the internet. i will burn my CPU haha

2.55 vs 2.55.2 256
2.55 natural 3D stage. 2.55.2 natural sample stage with higher resolution detail.

256 vs 352
352 stage doesn't feel natural. 256 is natural.
352 higher resolution/detail.

i feel v2.55 256 emotion better, but seem v2.55.2 256 more correct sound. 352 lesser.
prefer v2.55 256 more than others.

[jesuscheung]

yes. prefer 2.55 256.

first time downloaded some SACD or DSD file. converted to wav (PCM format. think it is 24bits).

plays ok in foobar and XA. not ok with lekt player. fix?

SACD sounds like CD with high density sound. actually less emotion. not that good... treble feels like vinyl
maybe more data to stream to DAC = more processing = more difficult.

lekt.exe1644 only plays wav file PCM 16bit/44100Hz. this format almost rip from CD. other formats may get from SACD/DSD, DVDA, vynil rip as 24/96000, 24/192000, 32/192000 or 16/48000, 24/48000. popular players can play all things by one software core. i think it's not good idea, need private core for each format. for example, lekt.exe2496, 24192,... these project are including in my plan. when?? hehe...
i see best recording for 16/44100 is CDs, of course of EMI, WEA, Sony,... very good mastering. for example Pink Floyd/The Dark Side of the Moon EMI/Harvest code CDP 7 46001 2 [5th UK], better SACD, DVDA. depend on what mastering and who made? mastering engineer of EMI can make very good 16/44100, even better than 24/96000.
as we test software player, musical emotion is important. not always resolution is most important. difference soundstage can give so much musical nuances, as you see. CD players may are very expensive, people is buying them. i has listening 24/96, 24/192 some years, does'nt like, not better than 16/44100 by good player. good CD/rip have more musical emotion.
i think that.

yes, yes
16/44100 is most important. 99% of music is CD.

i see! i am fooled all SACD will sound good! hifi magazine is poisoning haha

i must find this pink floyd album and listen listen.

agree. i like my analog radio. resolution is bad. music is good.

...agree. i like my analog radio. resolution is bad. music is good.

it means analog source of this radio studio very good, maybe vynil, tape or even master tape! hehe.. master tape is archive in storage, make Vinyl/CD/SACD/DVDA... from it. we will try buy it, haha. millions $

24/88100, 24/96000, 24/192000 resolutions of course better, more sound signal for DAC creating analog wave, in theory wave is better.
but when playing them, software and DAC have problems or not? the first big size, big stream => more latency, need extrem processing for reading/writing, very much data. 1 frame of one channel = 24bit = 3byte, i don't know how CPU understand its value for needed calculation, => convert it to 32bit = 4bytes (it is long, int, int32, UINT32,...) by pad left zeros to it and signification (plus, minus) of value. if player does'nt make it then DAC must be do this convert, maybe. not good solution, here's 8 bits are redundant.
but there's 24 bits for wave amplitude value are enough, does'nt need 32 bits. 32 bits better but only little, not much. i see people usually use 24/192, not 32/192, not bebefit for storage, big file size. if use 32bits then good for player/DAC, but bad for storage/upload/download. i feel for 96000, 192000 rates, 24 bits are enough for wave signal value. but 3 bytes are'nt basic variable in programing.
hehe, problem, problem, JC.
get best 16/44100 of best mastering of best companies as EMI,... think that now.

!!!! i always wonder why so good the sound! reason is tape!

hmm... how about... let say:
1 frame of one channel = 3bytes
4 .. = 12bytes
1 core handles 4 bytes -> 3 cores handles 12bytes?
say you do 4 frames with 3 cores, there is no redundant bit?
(quit complex, every core is different in speed. bottlenecked by slowest core)

pkshan recommends install reclock and set it to output 32bits int. i think reclock can convert 16->32 and 24->32. i guess when lekt output 16, reclock converts it to 32.

also there is DAC issues with 96000/ 192000. some DAC only good SQ with 44100.

i mean 1 frame = 3bytes need convert to 1 frame = 4bytes (basic interger variable int, UINT32,...), otherwise CPU or DAC chip don't understand what is it, need take its value for creating electrical impulse of analog wave. 1byte is redundant, and this converting task is redundant.
"reclock and set it to output 32bits int": good idea, but who makes it to 32bits ?. CPU or DAC chip must be do this. maybe better than player doing this. maybe DAC bad does this, and issues... its chip is not enough power as core i3, i5, i7.
this problem is not easy solve, hehe...
