yes. 2.76x has good balance. i can verify it.
it sounds better with timer resolution=0.5ms
0.5ms makes imbalance worse. balance better.
the vibration quantity and clarity and timing has improved by ~5% using 2.76.
timer resolution usually makes things worse. not this time.
[quote="jesuscheung...(need better naming of files. easy to confuse between versions. hehe)...[/quote]
right, JC. next 2 file version will be named v3.x. in feature will be named as follow:
v2.x for 1 file versions
v3.x for 2 file versions
and all 2 file versions will be uploaded into folder "v3 2 file"
improved vibration, balance better (even better than v2.4.3 balance)
now bass have good dynamic range, enough soundstage. all things vibrate in correct air space, so flow is better.
try them and enjoy!
i just realize timer resolution=0.5ms makes sound of good timing better. and sound of bad timing worse.
(intel C++ has complex effects. i yet don't understand it.)
under 0.5ms
2.77.1 raw. easily the winner. very more refined + fine-grained. increased clarity
2.77. messy. decreased clarity
under 1ms
nothing special among software players
under 2ms
sloppy sound among software players
(note: downclocked CPU+RAM doesn't have good timing. don't think 0.5ms can work ... need fast machine.)
many things of sound can fool us in windows environment, sometime good, sometime bad. there's difficult task for tester. always need compare with other versions, and with CD Player as most stability sound. v2.77.x not careful tested, brightness not enough. interesting, raw version have more correct elements

lekt, you have very good testing skills. also very good control of sound. music is better everyday.
more i listen more is 2.4.3's timing very very stable.
try some (french) slow+quiet female vocal, i hear very stable + calm + perfect vocal depth/finishing. can follow every note.
(tested under 0.5ms)
