I probably missed it somewhere down the line, sorry...
Does this new mqnplay with portaudio work with mqnload or we have to use batch program?

Yes it does, if you put the "1644" or "2492" to the end. For example:
mqnplay1644.exe 24 bit 7.22 wdmks sse2 to
mqnplay.exe 24 bit 7.22 wdmks sse2 1644

Yes, I always change the name of mqnplay for mqnload, but I haven't got chance to try this new stuff yet. I wasn't sure how mqnload handles it.
Thanks

reverb, micro micro detail, needs improving

also something with dynamic ability seems weird all bass/weight seems to be at the same level where notes or a chain of notes should get louder or quieter i suppose dynamic response seems too slow

otherwise not bad 7.19 avx2 was ok all very similar

uploaded 7.18 sse2 and 7.20 sse2/avx2 which is optimised for instruction latency and throughput (haswell), might be ok on other cpus

uploaded 7.22 sse2/avx2 which uses instructions from the recent wasapi versions, quite like it. 7.20 sounds good, but gets tiring, there's something about that digital sound that becomes uncomfortable after a while.

Thanks Gordon trying out 7.18sse2 and seems very dynamic to me. The usual aggressive treble stuff I use for testing sounds excellent. Again bass for me seems fine. If this is just the beginning of the journey scary to think how good it might get.

Not hearing the deficiencies Nigel feels are there. Will skip 7.20 and try 7.22 next

Lampizator sorta compensates for bass and weight
The wasapi ks differences are smallish but magical all the same

Maybe, might try the cíunas to compare. But agree the differences between w and ks are very small certainly at this point.

7.22sse for me is stunning. Level of detail is incredible and not harsh in anway. Great work Gordon

Finally got into this new stuff...v7.18 avx2/3.64 control/portaudio v32 avx, excellent, way to go.
V7.22 avx2 doesn't work on my system, but ssse2 is not my favorite compared to v7.18 avx2.
I can almost say that I just left my long term love, 5.14 avx2.

prefer 7.18 sse. easy-going on the ears.
(actually 7.16 sse is more easy-going but less bass)

in terms of details:
v32 > v31 > v30.

here v30's treble is fully "round". v32/v31 has mildly noticeable edges.

Don't do that yet, 5.14 still has a lot more magic and musicality than these KS's.
I've heared all the KS/PA's but the magic is still with 5.14.
