MQN

[sbgk]

mqncontrol 4.04 avx2 is version with non temporal copy in assembly using avx registers.

bit of a black art, this though.

4.06 is optimised version, sounds ok.

exactly the same things which were affecting the player affect the sq through the control code eg alignment, instructions, no of loops etc.

see rewriter author now says that the effect will wear off after time so will need reapplying to the files. He's basing that on it being how the bits are stored magnetically on disk, so best approach is to do it while loading into ram.

I noticed that there is a difference/improvement if the ram is set to 0 before loading. Don't know if that points to anything.

4.07 is quite promising

4.07 uses non temporal streaming load and write
4.08 uses cpu cache
4.09 uses non temporal streaming write and cached read
seems 4.07 is better, might still be some optimising to do with it.

is there anything in files.txt ? is there a paste.exe in the directory ?

don't have a win7 machine, but it may still work on win7, think wasapi doesn't but ks might.

Yes and yes.

Hoping someone who's running on Win 7 can help out.

4.07 is quite good, it does have a small click at yhe beginning of each track though.

4.09 is not so good, 4.07 much better.

4.10 is a further optimisation of 4.07. don't get click at start of tracks, are you getting it with the first track as well.

don't think it's a win7 issue, sounds like the .bat file is the issue

I have tried running MQN in several Win7 machines (mine and my friends). No success. Neither wasapi nor ks worked. From what I know wasapi and ks was significanlty redesinged in windows 8,8.1 and 2012. Maybe that is why it does not work ...
I also help the Polish guy some time ago in this forum having trouble runing mqn. The very first question I asked him was: what system you are runing? Win 7 he said. Based on my experiences I told him to use win 8 at least. Since that it works.

Which ocxo did you use for your mobo?

Yes, just a small click at the beginning of each track including the first.

[Ken Moreland]

4.07 is very good and has no clicks before tracks. Will try 4.10 later.

4.07/4.10 are freezing my computer.
