uploaded 5.72/5.73 1644 avx2, might be some improvement

[sbgk]

uploaded 5.69 16/44 sse2/avx/avx2 and 24/96 avx2, hopefully better than 5.64

don't know about 5.14, it used pointers in memory vs 5.69 pointers in registers, so still learning about the effects. in memory potentially means it takes longer to get the pointer - seems to have an increased treble effect

5.69 SSE2/Control 3.61 bests 5.64 SSE2. I never thought that was possible.

wonder if it sounds better on sse2 than avx2, sse2 having a harsher sound will benefit from the damped sound of 5.69. With avx2 it's lost something.

You could be right, but I cannot compare them.

On SSE2 it certainly does not sounded damped.

5.76 1644 avx2 - tuned version of 5.73. think there's something different about this one.

Sorted something out with the reduced exe size which had confused me. quite a lot of foot tapping with this one drumming, strings and bass v good.

I'm happy to call it the last one.

you won't have heard anything like this before.

The cymbal highs are quite recessed. They are there but very difficult to make out.
Female voice is just the opposite, very foward and a bit shouty, overpowering other tonal ranges.

I remember we have had this before, which makes me wonder if we are going round in circles as several issue keep returning or if it is a case of finding the right balance again as new technological improvements unsettle the sound quality obtained before those changes?


At the moment it is 5.14 for me.

5.77 any better ?

[tony]

Away for a week got my dac back today and find that I am about 50 versions behind at this point!

I use a Ray brown trio test track I think it is 44/88 it wont play in any of these hires versions I realize why is it a bit hassle to introduce
a version that will cover this resolution?

5.79 is an update of 5.14

[nige2000]

5.79 > 5.80
For hf and micro detail

[jesuscheung]

5.64 sse > 5.69 sse > 5.76 sse
5.76 doesn't vibrate. hard.

can we have a version 5.64 without sse/avx...?
