i lost texture too, highs smoothed

nige, can you test the manifest with 2.71 v2?
the manifest increases quantity.
new version is already ultra high in quantity,
quantity + quantity = more than your OS can handle = mixture = liquid textureless sound
my OS can only just handle the manifest with new versions
try 2.71 v2... it is less details
you may gain texture?
since people here downclock CPU/RAM, quantity is less than norm... but this tweak still making liquid sound... people aren't ready...
my OS can now handle 0.5ms timerresolution...
most people experience more strain, less texture. i have opposite.
(that's because their micro texture was poor to begin with, only gonna get worse)

but "realtime" still make mqn sound worse. maybe i can still improve the OS

sorry manifest is ok
just doesn't complement tasker
have it disabled will listen some more
yea might have to reconsider using tasker
when i change timer resolution during playback does it have immediate effect?

tried with 2.73
sounds good
wouldnt say timer resolution 0.5ms sounds worse just tried it
using the manifest alongside tasker is bad though
3.39 or 2.73 is already rich
rich + rich + crispy = ....
not easy to work
2.71 v2 is thin... works better.
thin + rich + crispy = maybe ok
---
actually 2.71 is soft
soft + tight = ok
for 3.39
tight + tight = not easy, but SQ increase is possible (need good os)

Firstly, us SSE2 guys (and any gals?) have been spoilt for choice in the new 6.xx range - so many thanks for that, Gordon.
6.11 SSE2/361 Control/Tasker gave a loud regular ticking noise which I did not get on any of the other 6.xx range. Otherwise I heard no adverse qualities from manifest/tasker running together (I assume manifest was running as it is embedded whether I like it or not).
Tried 6.07 & 6.10 mostly, and they were both excellent. Piano attack on 6.07 was astoundingly good, as was bass and detail, but the stage seemed to be collapsed a little compared with 6.10 which had the widest stage I have heard yet, but not quite so good detail and SQ. But both of them are really good.

First, thank you again, Gordon, for creating these special AMD versions. They are amazing, definitely the right ones for my CPU. I again tried the various versions and avx amd > avx > avx2 >sse2. So it only makes sense for me to test the amd versions from now on, so please keep them coming. :-)
There aren't that many of them yet, but I just had a fascinating duel between 5.95 and 6.11. They are both absolutely incredible, with such detail, and that through 1644!
It's hard to choose between the two, not because they are the same, but because in their subtle differences they are almost perfectly complementary. At the same time, their individual strengths are such that in both cases these in themselves create an almost effortless realism.
5.95 avx amd
+ great PRAT, dynamic, natural reverb, spacious and breathing sound stage
- ever so slightly too "loose"
6.11 avx amd
+ great micro detail, tonal fidelity, focused instrument placement
- ever so slightly too "edgy"
With both of these versions for the first time I find myself finishing all test tracks until the very end. Until now, I often stopped after 2 or 3 minutes into a track, because I got enough of an impression for comparison. With these two, I cannot make myself interrupt a track in the middle of it. I am drawn into the music so easily, and I'm so involved and engaged that I just have to listen to the end.
Gordon, you're a genius! :-)
