2.30 and 2.31 can play all resolutions.
Sse2-2.31 is also sounding very good.
Not done comparisons yet

Re: MQN
I've been comparing SSE2 R2.31 to some of my best vinyl (Trans-Fi Salvation deck & London Reference cartridge). I really struggled to hear meaningful differences between the two sources. To keep the vinyl sound up with the hirez digital I had to swap to my battery powered phono stage, away from the more euphonic valve phono stage. For anyone not seriously into vinyl I expect you'll not appreciate comparison but the Salvation/Reference combination is amazingly good......so is MQn 2.31.
It's the soundstaging and atmosphere that I feel MQn is doing so well now. Partly this is why I say MQn matches really good vinyl now, it manages to rival the best of vinyl and have all the other benefits of "digital".

not a pretty platter, must sound good.
What os & cpu do you have ?

My O/S and cpu are nothing special and the O/S is relatively untweaked - due mostly to lack of time. Unless I have specialist hardware I'd rather keep the tweaking to a minimum especially after finding some optimizers disagreed with my laptop. To answer your question: Windows 8.1 and i5 Ivy Bridge.

R2.32 sounded a bit weirdsbgk wrote:uploaded R2.32, experimental tweak on 16/44 only, sounds good on first impression.
I'm only doing the minimum release because have a number of changes I'm thinking about and it's getting more complicated to update the different versions.
R2.33 has one setting different, yet sounds totally different. Am having to revisit all my earlier findings as the aim then was to reduce sibilance.

I'm also using win8.1, but haswell i5 laptop. win 2012 is a worthwhile upgrade if you have access to it.

think 2.33 is the best so far, top end and speed/dynamics much improved.sbgk wrote:R2.32 sounded a bit weirdsbgk wrote:uploaded R2.32, experimental tweak on 16/44 only, sounds good on first impression.
