v2.89.2 used method reading file as v1.7. JC, try old v1.7. it not used RAM but sound balance very good, even better v2.4.3. only have bug so need double-click 2-3 times then can run it (forgot set 2 bytes to zero in code, so random software can run, hehe,...). try it, bass good, soundstage OK. now recoding it in C, but balance lesser, with C need align code by other way.

v2.89.1 seem more correct but SQ lesser. will improve it.

yes! read file is good. more 'water'.
ram method is more 'dry'. e.g. hqplayer, foobar+ramdisk....

1.17? feels very balance here!

give me more time. i tested 2.4.3 from win7 to 8 to 2012 to R2 in many situations.
2.4.3 = ultra stable.

let see if 1.17 can win!

interesting here, now transfer code to C but result lesser. v1.7 have good bass, balance OK. old versions builded almost with default compiler settings, not use extra seting, but not bad. of course noisy, now last versions more clean but bad balance. trying come back to 2 files model now with C.

i think 2.8x only issue is noise/dirty.

i see many software have clean sound don't have high resolution.

2.7x is clean. i mean 2.7x already makes 16/44100 sounds like 24/44100. quantity is enough.

i listen with pkshan win7. lekt player has higher density better bass than xa. but xa has much more refined cleanest micro.
(don't forget win7's wasapi is dirty!)

(was thinking using win7 again. give up. i hate the win7 Aero sound.)

take your time.

not sure same for you with win8, but my 2012/R2 always had plastic hard treble.
on win7, treble is actually beautiful (by ignoring the digital win7 tune)

i finally find the policy setting in registry that is responsible!
now 2012 treble is actually ok listenable.

fix plastic hard = beautiful mellow rich solid high texture treble/mid.
loving s4 now.
now s4 is has rich density rich texture. all things kept.
i think s4>s8 now.

s4 improves very very fast with less jitters.

2.89.1 and 2.89.2 may have the best piano of all lekt players.

2.89.1 has normal notes. 2.89.2 has 3D notes.
other things they are equal.

[jesuscheung]

now listening 2.86. power, energy + vibration. great for rock. little dirty

i already don't know what version is best.
s4 is cleanest. 2.79.2 also is clean. very good for tweaking. 2.4.3 also.

thx lekt, you have made so many good versions

uploaded v2.89.3 256
sound more raw, clarity.
------------------------------------------
uploaded v2.89.4 256
removed some settings, seems doesn't need for C, i think sound more correct, bass better vibrates. try for comparision.

[jesuscheung]

piano
2.89.3 > 2.89.2. new best

2.89.4 seems close to ear. something not sound right

[jesuscheung]

2.89.4 stage is forward sounding. powerful. energetic and overwhelming. great emotion. all things ok.
i love this one. but is it correct? stage isn't typical.

2.89.3 stage feels very natural. feels more correct.

a b compare. 2.89.4 is a little stretched.
2.89.3 is more together = more correct.

however
i prefer 2.89.4. micro-details has more clarity. clean.
for 2.8x, think 2.89.4 is one of the cleanest

2.89.4 and 2.89.3 are best of 2.8x

EDIT
ok.. listening more... both 2.89.4 and 2.89.3 have sound size >100%. need smaller hehe
