Bug Head Technology Music Player

[Ken Moreland]

I enabled Command Line and Black Screen by clicking just to the right of the LPF button . This brings up a new screen where these features can be enabled then exit the screen. Sound quality is much improved. The only drawback is that when the album finishes Infinity Blade must be restarted.

I wish I knew what all the options on the playback screen do..

I'm running 4.85, this I find is a massive change. Loads more detail, way more up front and this is with my mellow speakers, I daren't connect up my uber detailed speakers.

The bass I feel is still inconsistent, some albums have big bass whereas others have little bass. It's as though the bass is not flat and has room modes.

Oh I see 4.86 is out..or at least a test version,

I think I'll revert to 4.82, the later versions are a bit too full on.

The manual is a nightmare, you already have it when you install Bughead, it's in your Bughead folder.
The Normal button (top left) allows you to change tuning for Blade etc.
Stardust mode is just below 4 Upsampling on second set up page and enables lots of rewriting activity.

I tried a lot of things with 4.85 including running Windows explorer and Jplay Asio but I preferred Chord Asio and Total Commander.

I gave up with the manual....

Ah it's the Normal menu that gives access to the Blade settings... It's the next screen which has really unfathomable options.

Giving up on manual's, why?

Just check this golden nugget on why an internal PC speaker should be avoided for critical listening;

I am absolutely in awe with the sound now in such a simple app, kind of makes me regret I just shelled out for 32 GB of Ram when the 8 GB I had was fine.

Isn't it always the way?

Avast is blocking this .ru download for a pal of mine. I hope it's ok.

I've not liked BH post 4.82 but I've not done the 20hr burn in which is supposed to remove brightness. Has anyone tried the burn in? It seems a bit OTT.

Infinity Blade SQ 4.86 out today, Stardust Mode X 2..... amazing!
